{people from Tsuna's mindscape talking to Tsuna, Vice Versa}

Tsuna POV

"great job, Tsunayoshi-kin... you made it without passing out! I'm so proud of you" Saphira-san said.

Even so, in reality I made it by the skin of my teeth. It was as painful as that time when Henko revived me on our first meeting. But all in all I'm glad that it's over therefore I tried to thank her by smiling even a little.

"Here, drink some of this to recover..." Tabolt-san said as he help me to drink one of the potion that he had prepared.

It smells horible!

and for the first time in my life I'm thankful that my taste bud ruined. Or else, I don't know wether I'll survive. It was only seconds for me to finish the whole bottle.

"T-This is..." I gasped as I can slowly feel energy flowing back into me. It feels amazing!

With teary eyes, I pratically glomped the two in a hug, "Arigatou Gozaimasu, Tabolt-san! Saphira-san!" Saphira-san giggled as Tabolt-san laughed.

"well then my boy, I think you should go and finish what you've started" she said and I nodded.

"oh! but before you go there's something that you must now" Tabolt-san said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"that potion I gave you. the effect will only last for 4 hours and after that your body will likely shutted down." He said. .

"Wait, Does that mean I need to get back here before then?" I asked

"No. It don't have to be here. all you have to do is to get somewhere else to get some rest. Because I'm sure you don't fancy to fall deep sleep on the road. Do you?" Saphira-san winked.

I giggled, "you're right, I don't..."

"okay then, time is ticking and so you should hurry now." Tabolt-san said.

I nodded before then I found myself waving my hands as I walked out of that place searching for taxi...

'Now... it's time to finish the hunts...'

Toshi POV

Everything was chaos at our house and it was all because of the kids went hype all over again. Even the adding hands of Riku and Riki's didn't help for the least.

I know that we're out numbered. But since they're just some children then this shouldn't be a matter, right?

So, can someone explain to me on...

"how on earth we caught up in this mess?!" I unconsciously said it out loud as I feel a thick mark growing on my head. This brats are driving me crazy!

At the moment, I'm chasing Natsu who took my wallet away. "Tch! get back here, you midget!" I shouted, but instead of stopping, he stuck his tongue out.

"Wee... Uncle Shi-Shi is too slow~! even slower than the snails~!"

'That's it! he'll get it once I captured him!' I fumed.

But the task was easier to be said than done. He's so fast, agile, and not to mention sly! he almost dropped some of the furniture. All he did because he knew that it'll slow me down to prevent any of them to break.

"If you don't stop now! I'll tell Tsuna-nii that you are not behaving!" I know that mentioning this should be the last effort which also a coward thing to do. But what should I do? he's getting on my nerve yet I'm already out of breath.

To be honest, I don't think that he'll fell for that, but he stopped.

'eh? it was actually works?' I questioned as I can finally snatched my wallet back.

"Now, let's get back to the others" I told him as I was expecting to see a pouty face as I crouched down. But instead, I saw him smiling widely with pure of happiness.

It was weird, but I have no time to ask because he already muttered the answer.

"Papa is here..." He said in whisper. Just in a split of second then, the doorbell rang...

Normal POV

Upon hearing the door bell Riki, who was the nearest person to the door, opens it revealing a familiar brunet who's standing there with a warm smile.

"Tsuna-nii? W-Why are you here? you are supposed to be resting by now!" Riki said. But Tsuna just grinned.

"Maa~ you are just like those two. So exaggerating my condition. I told you that I was only a bit tired. But now I'm fine and kicking" he cripped.

"So, may I come in? Because I want to see my- Umpth!" Not yet finished with his sentence, Tsuna already got tackled down by his 'kids' as they exclaimed happily.

"Papa!" They called.

"you're here!" Said Kuro

"Aunties said that you're too sick to come" 'Akira' said

"-so We thought that you wouldn't come!" Shiyo said. And so the questions went on and on as Tsuna patiently listened.

However, that was only what appears on the surface. All the while, Tsuna is communicating with them normally through their mind link.

{we're so glad to see you, master} Natsu said.

{yeah, you made us worry for a second there.} Cielo said, sighing in relief. Tsuna just 'mentally' chuckled at that.

{well, as you can see, I'm now in a great shape. Thanks to you guys who's saving me some time to get some rest. Oh, and also Tabolt-San came with someone and help me too. But that's for another story} Tsuna told them.

{anyway, how are they so far?} Henko who has been silent for the whole time finally spoken.

{you mean the twins?} Shiro scoffed, {they're so naive and way too immature, especially the eldest}

Tsuna chuckled, {hee really? But I think you guys have crossed the line too. I mean, I did give you permission to do anything. But trapped them in their own past? Aren't you cruel?}

The personalities gulped, {y-you knew?} 'akira' stuttered. Afterall, this whole drama thingy was his idea, much to everyone's shock.

{of course I knew} Tsuna replied lightly.

{you guys are still linked to his mind afterall} Henko added. And in that next moment, they stared in awkward as seconds passed.

{okay, enough of that-} Tsuna snapped them back, {I forgave you. But now there's something more important to discuss... you know the double mission that goes along with the trials, right?}

{how could we forget? They've been aiming our heads with their snipers all the time!} Kuro said.

{if it wasn't for us running like a maniac which dragged those fools with us...} Shiro sarcastically trailed, making the others to sweatdropped.

{haha... so, I'll take that they still hasn't noticed?} Tsuna asked rhetorically.

{they are too naive} Henko shrugged.

{a-ahahaha... anyway, back to the topic. There's a little change on the plan} Tsuna said, and in that instant everyone turned their attention to him.

Then soon the change or plan is shared...

Meanwhile...

"So, in the end you didn't say a word about that photo album..." Tabolt said as he sat down.

Swinging her legs childishly, Saphira answered, "Hey, if I do then that kid will likely search for Kawahira for he was the one who entrusted me to gave it to him in anyways. And as we all have known they can't meet each other just yet."

Tabolt hummed, "hey, can you remind me again, what's the reason of their separation?"

Saphira sighed, "it was because... That blond-guy just awaken from his coma about two years ago. And that time, Tsunayoshi-kin's condition had gone from bad to the worst.

From that over powered dark flames issues, until now, the tainted one's presence. And with that already weakened body, I could tell that going emotional alone could actually killed him." She explained.

"Poor child" Tabolt said.

"Indeed..." Saphira agreed. "But Anyway, I'm pretty sure that that was the third time I explain this to you this week. Do you really that forgetful?"

Tabolt chuckled, "what do you expect? I'm old keh keh keh..."

Saphira shooked her heads, but in the end giggling along...
