Normal POV

"so, let me get this straight... you were our ally all this time?" Toshi asked wanting to face palmed after the whole explanation.

"well yeah, captain ordered us to keep hidden under Byakuran so we can help you get this far. Besides, people said that experience is the best teacher right?" Irie said as he hold his stomach. Old habbits died hard.

"You stupid, b*****!" Toshi still charged forwards anyway. "What you think will happened if in this plan of yours anyone get killed?!" he said furriously.

"well, if that happends then I could do nothing" Toshi then hit Irie for his answer but Irie just remain still in his place.

"what the h*** with that answer, huh?!" Toshi said darkly.

"if you're this mad, then I sugest you NOT to think about the plan on the first time. Besides, I was only folowing order. the one that planned all of this is you..." Irie said monotonely.

"m-me? I... I planned this?" Toshi asked in disbelieve.

"yes, you and captain had a meeting once before millefiore was formed. It seems like captain had predicted this from the very start..." Irie replied bitterly.

"wait... who is this captain that you keep speaking of, Shoichi?" Spanner asked, finally said something after a while.

"he's the only person that I trully respect and follow. He's none other than Sawada Tsunayoshi..." Irie revealed.

"hold on... back then, what do you mean by this era's Toshi ordered people to get Tsuna killed?" Reborn asked, narrowing his eyes.

"about that... I wonder about that myself..." Irie's gaze landed at Toshi's as it turned into cold glare, "I really wonder on why Vongola wants to eliminate Tsuna-kun..."

Toshi stunned at his words. "It can't be, right? T-There's no way I would do that, right? Why would I try to kill Tsuna-nii?"he said in shutter.

"I don't know your reason, but you did. for some reason you didn't tell any of your guardians though. all you did was sending the lower ranks to our base and Tsuna-kun then dissapeared all of the sudden. With lots of bloods painting his empty room."

"if he just dissapeared then why you ever think that he's dead?" Spanner asked.

"because those bloods was his. and we all know that no human can survive after loosing that much. So we, Rilascio group did his last request, which is inflare the millefiore and helped you guys from the inside..." It was not Irie who answered them, but instead an albino woman in a wheelchair.

"Riki! why are you here?" Irie asked. but the albino just smiled.

"well, my husband is finally here with his brother and friends, so I think why don't I welcome them?" she replied lightly.

"h-husband?" Toshi echoed.

"uh huh..." Riki nodded, then she turned to Irie, "now, Shoichi, could you please wake him up? I want to give him a morning kiss"

"f-fine..." Irie said then took out a remote and soon release the guardians, Lal and Tsuki who slowly awakened after breathing in the nulify gas.

Riki pushed her wheel to get close a certain blond, before then she lowered herself and kissed him right on the lips. Seeing this, Toshi blushed furiously meanwhile those blue sky eyes flustered open.

"R-Riki?!" Tsuki jolted awake all of the sudden. "y-you're alive?! I thought that... you were..." his eyes teared up and soon he hugged the albino and started to cry.

"aww~ you missed me? how cute~" Riki giggled. "maa~ don't worry anata. I'm strong enough to survive... I'm sorry for the wait... please forgive me, ne?" she said as she gently carressed the blond locks who only nodded faintly as Reply.

As for Toshi... his jaw dropped... "EHHHH?! Your husband is Tsuki?! Y-You two are married?!"

"No way! Tsuki-sama!" Gokudera who just awaken also shocked.

"hmp... I knew you two will end up together in the end" Reborn smirked.

"wow, the colud funeral wreath married to Vongola Decimo's CEDEF chief...? such a Romeo-Juliet story... " Spanner said.

"well, we both married before the whole thing so what we've become now doesn't really matter, right anata~?"

"r-right..." Tsuki said still blushing.

"i-is that makes you our enemy, Riki-san?" Chrome asked, just realizing. The guardians (A/N : sans Yamamoto and Ryohei who uncouncious) are alerted with that and they're ready to take out their weapons, but they're just not there.

"hm? looking for your weapons? well, Shoichi has taken it all from you, so don't bother" Riki said. "Besides, we're on your side..."

"what?!" Gokudera shouted

"Well, she's right. They are our ally. so stop shouting, it starting to irritates me" Reborn ordered like a boss. While Gokudera imedietely shut his mouths fearing what the little hitman would do, totally forgetting that Reborn is just a hologram rightnow.

"so Riki, if you're here, then where's Ri-"

"-she's dead..." Riki cutted, looking down. "she's dead on the day Tsuna-nii dissapeared."

Everyone looked down feeling how hard it must be for Riki and Irie, especially the albino.

"Riki... about that..." Toshi hesitated, but asked anyway. "is it true that I ordered Vongola to, you know?" the clueless ones just eyed the two curiously, while Lal narrowed her eyes for the new information.

Riki gazed at him and sensed fear and guilty in those eyes, she smiled "It is true..." Toshi felt like crying, hearing that. "Demo... you don't have to worry" Riki continued.

"Because I'm sure that everything will turned just fine after we win the fight. So you guys... win this for us, right?" Riki said, smiling warmly at them.

"of course, Riki... we'll win this for sure" Toshi replied with a wide grin and a thumb up. everyone also smiled at her.

"un..." Riki replied with a nod, "I'll keep your promise, Toshi..."

"okay now. Could you tell us where is Tsunayoshi?" Lal butted in.

"oh him? I just finish on checking him. Regaining his memory sure exhaust him therefore he needs his rest." Irie answered.

"Regaining his- so that's what you were doing?" Toshi asked.

"yeah, It's too dangerous for him if he stayed as Cielo in this Era. for what reason, we can't tell you..." Irie said.

"Well, we've promised him not to tell you guys. But I'm sure you'll eventually founds out..." Riki explained.

all of the sudden, Ryohei exchanged with his pastself. "EXTREME!" He shouted his phase, "Where am I to the EXTREME?!" He asked.

"Tch, Now the lawn head is here too..." Gokudera grumped.

"Woooh! Tako-head and Everyone is EXTREME-ly here too!" Ryohei fistbumped to the ceiling.

"please lower your voice, senpai..." Yamamoto said as he grunted awake.

"ah, Yamamoto! daijobu?" Toshi asked.

"maa... I'm fine Toshi! no need to be concerned..." Yamamoto said, grinning. Toshi sighed in relief at that.

"well, now that everyone is awake. There's something that I should returned to you" Irie said then he handed the guardians, their rings and...

"box weapon?"

"Yes... those are your animal boxes. However, before you could get to open them there are seals that you must have to get..." Riki said.

"seals?"

"Yes..." Irie nodded.

"well, I'll leave the explanation to Shoichi. I'm going to check on Tsuna-nii. So, see you later guys~" Riki said, bidding them goodbye before she left.

With that, Irie proceed with the rest of explanation...

#with Riki...

Her smile never flatter, for she's overjoying today. Not just because he can be reunited with her husband and everyone, but also because she'll finally get to see her Tsuna-nii that she has missed for so long.

'Finally we're reunited once again, Tsuna-nii' she thought happily.

She almost jumped in happiness when she saw that Tsuna is up from his sleep as she stepped in. talk about great timing.

"oh, Tsuna-nii! you're awake?!" She said, hurriedly went to his side.

However, the respond that she gets is shocking her, "anata wa... dare?"

"Eh?"
