Flashbacks/Dreams

Nerima:

Renato Sinclair, better known as the World's Greatest Hitman, Reborn, can only blink as a cuteness otaku snaps him up mere minutes after his escape from Kuno Kodachi. He had never thought there would come a day he'd wish for Bianchi, but that day had finally come. Of course, he in no way wanted her to actually meet Kodachi, that would be Chaos the likes of which even he would run from. This Azusa girl was not letting him out of her sight, in fact she kept him in an infant carrier while she went about her day. The Hitman groans internally, why the hell did he get stuck dealing with this insanity again? Oh, right, Saotome Ranma. He never notices the retainer for the Kuno siblings recording everything

Namimori:

It's finally the weekend, and Tsuna is enjoying being able to relax without having to worry about Reborn. Ranko is the one to open up Reborn's briefcase, and since Hayato was over he's put to work taking detailed pictures of everything in said briefcase, which includes the reports he hasn't yet sent in, and intel on the actual state of affairs for the Family Tsuna was stuck taking over. If he ever got the opportunity to bitch out Primo he would take it. He did not want to be a part of the damned Mafia. Usagi had no problems with this, she'd rather be the wife of a Mafia Don than Queen of the World. From her perspective Tsuna could understand it. He was also tracing his male genetic contributor's family line to see if there was another heir, that way there would be someone he could foist this all off on once he cleaned the damn Family up, and then made damned certain they stayed clean, bloodthirsty morons. Not even Kyouya went too far into the realm of Bad Taste, unlike so many damned Mafia Families.

Once they have the pictures Ranko places everything back just the way it was in Reborn's room. They print everything out, and Tsuna starts swearing vehemently at what he finds. His eyes flash orange, " Ranko, I need to learn the Hidden Weapons Technique, what Nono has allowed to happen, along with my Idiot Sire, well...I am not going to be leaving important Intel just lying around. "

Hayato is dumbfounded, " I knew things were bad, but not this bad. "

The Vongola were only holding on by reputation alone, and the Varia. Too many associated with the Vongola were running drugs, humans, and to make matters worse Nono was not stomping down on the idiots either. " Give a list of names of the worst offenders to Kyouya, they come to Namimori they die through accidents. I am not going to leave it up to the Ninth Generation to get everything done. I'll send the rest of the names to Bel-nii, he likes taking out the Trash after all. " Tsuna decides.

Hotaru smirks wickedly, " This means we have to clean up little by little without old codgers that should have retired getting in our way. "

" We can always have them suffer accidents if they get to be too annoying. " Tsuna states firmly.

Ranko hides everything away in Hidden Weapons space, and they settle in for a marathon of Bleach. In other dimensions at around this time Reborn would bring Sasagawa Kyoko over to repay her for buying his caffeine hit, and then suggest playing Russian Roulette. This does not happen, mostly because Tsuna is dating Usagi, and flat out refuses to bring in civilians, at all. This also means Ryohei would not be his Sun. This Tsuna was not about to allow Reborn to run roughshod over his life, irregardless as to whether or not the ass had a method to his madness. That, and he had not gotten approval for his schemes from Kitsune. Since Tsuna happened to be dating Kitsune, well, Reborn was screwed. He was acting in his Queen's territory without permission.

Belphegor blinks at the email he had gotten from Tsuna, at least until he reads the entire thing, then he starts cackling. Tsuna had so helpfully given him a list of Trash that needed to be dealt with discreetly, and made to look like accidents. He didn't mind having Tsuna as a little brother, Tsuna was not Trash, and was actually close to Quality. Then there was the fact that he happened to be the Knight for the Principessa as well. Principessa treated him as he was due, and it had been her to convince him to check, and make damned sure his idiot twin was dead. Needless to say, he had been pissed the asshole survived. Next time he would make damned certain his brother was dead! For the moment he had some Trash to get rid of in a way that would not come back to him, the Principessa, or the cub that morphed into a vicious Hellcat when Principessa was threatened.

Juuban District:

Chibiusa sighs internally as she attends class, this was only for half a day, she knew all of this already, what she needed work on was social interaction, dammit! Japanese Schooling didn't really lend itself to socialization too well, as they put an emphasis on academics. It was aggravating, but she thought she might actually be making more friends than just Melissa.

At the same time Mizuno Ami is meeting with her therapist, her mother had pulled her out of school, and she was now attending school online so she could get the help she needed. The blue haired genius knows she should have never allowed things to go on for this long. She should have spoken up, told her mother about the extensive, and systematic bullying she had suffered from. Those that were different were always treated badly, shunned almost. Part of it was also her mother's fault for being so damned busy all the time, and her father was in Germany, at least she was reasonably sure he was in Germany.

Niwa Natsuki, or rather Phantom Dark, is flying towards the home of Sawada Tsunayoshi, Dark would do anything to help his first female Tamer, and if she did, in fact, harmonize with Tsuna, he'd have her go to Daiki for training in how to get around blind. He wouldn't put it past those Cervello Pests to do something Stupid. It would only be when he/they met Tsuna that he'd realize that there was someone closer to home so to speak that was a threat through sheer, unrelenting Stupidity! How someone of Giotto's blood could be that Stupid, Dark honestly had no idea. Hell, Krad would actually agree with him on that! Iemitsu was an Idiot. It would only be when they were called to the future that Dark would learn how Idiotic Iemitsu was in several other dimensions, giving the Lightning Ring to a child, and expecting him to fight in the Ring Battles? At that point Dark wouldn't be surprised if Giotto didn't find some way to gain corporeal form just to kick the Idiot's ass himself!

Namimori:

Dark lets himself shift back to Natsuki, and the girl lands with no sound on the roof of the Sawada home, before dropping down to the ground. It was time to meet Tsunayoshi. She walks over, and knocks on the door. Tsuna is the one to answer it, and he blinks, " A Stormy Sun, that's different. You feel similar to my girlfriend's Misty Sun. "

" Nà shì yīnwèi wǒ shì xīn qǐyì de línghún, ér tā shì sǐwáng de shǐzhě(That's because I am the Senshi of New Beginnings, whereas she is the Emissary of Death). I'm Niwa Natsuki, I hear you could use a Sun. "

Tsuna cocks his head to the side, and lets his Sky out to play with her Stormy Sun, and Harmonizes with her almost immediately. He sighs in relief, the only other candidate happened to be Sasagawa Ryohei, and he was not dealing with that headache, dammit! Kyouya would not be pleased with having the LOUD herbivore as a part of Omnivore's pack. Then again, he didn't want Ryohei dragged in. That, and there was no way in hell he was going to let any female think they stood a chance with him. Tsuna was a very monogamous being, he would not betray Usagi-chan for anything. He contemplates telling Hayato, but his Intuition tells him not to yet. Hayato wasn't ready for that secret. Takeshi, hell yes, and his first therapy session was today. Tsuyoshi-san had been surprised that Tsuna wanted Guardians that were sound of mind, and body. He could accept one crazy, but that was it.

He invites Natsuki in, and introduces her as his new Sun Guardian. Hayato cocks his head to the side, " You're getting Guardians that are more likely to tell the Ninth Generation where to shove their damned opinions, aren't you? "

Tsuna smirks at him, " Naturally, what's your specialty, Natsuki? "

" Acrobatics, Item Reclamation, and Traps. " Natsuki states firmly.

Usagi looks at her reincarnated cousin, and then she starts cackling, " I thought the Niwa name sounded familiar, did he wake up in you? "

Dark sits up and takes notice, then he grins, so the blonde female was Kitsune-dono. " He wouldn't have if not for the fact that my adoptive parents are absolute assholes, but since you fled Juuban, I have to stay until all that shit is dealt with. " Natsuki states.

" Join our binge watching of Bleach, it'll give us time to bond, and plan for Tsuna's reign as Decimo of the Vongola, which means planning how we're going to clean it up, deal with the dissenters, you know, all that fun stuff. " Usagi says.

" If you'd like, I could contact my Aunt Emiko, and have her set up traps that only our collective group can get through. " Natsuki says.

Seeing the absolutely evil look in the eyes of Tsuna and Usagi Natsuki realizes that she may have just started the beginnings of an Unholy Alliance. Had she known Usagi happened to be The Kitsune, well she would have never introduced her to her Aunt Emiko. Dark is cackling inside their shared mindscape at those looks. Finally, some actual Mayhem, that was almost Guaranteed to not have any life threatening danger attached to it. Besides, Tsuna happened to be the only, that they still knew of so far, heir to the Vongola. They were researching that, well, rather Hayato was, because Tsuna was not going to have his kids dragged into this mess if he could help it. There had to be more heirs, it's just no one was doing the damned research, and Dino had shared his findings about Skies with Tsuna as well. It made far too much sense when one thought about it. Sky Attraction would draw Guardians, but if said Sky was inactive they would be bullied mercilessly, and if they didn't have parents that would put a stop to the bullying then they would take the easiest way out they could.

Dino was doing more research into that area, and if it was true...well, the idea that Skies were rare was about to be blown out of the water. Most likely the other flame types woke up more often than Skies did. Frankly Usagi didn't buy that garbage that Skies were rare, they may rarely turn active, but they were not rare...Hell, Usagi, back when she was the princess could remember there being numerous Skies, on Earth, and elsewhere as well. Intelligent beings would hide their Flames, and avoid the Mafia entirely. Hell, Giotto started the Vongola as a Vigilante Group, not to be bloodthirsty morons that take advantage of the little people! The Vongola was meant to protect the down on their luck people!

There would be a reckoning, that much was certain. Especially once Tsuna earned the half-rings. As it was they would have to subtly deal with all the Trash infesting the Vongola. Human experimentation, unless done on the absolute filth of society would be stomped out, human trafficking would be eradicated in the Vongola, and Tsuna would not tolerate any child being mistreated. None of this treating illegitimate children like shit that seemed to be prevalent in the Mafia. It would not fly with Tsuna, instead he would make the sire and dam face up to their responsibilities, and if they wouldn't care for the child they created, at least ensure they got a good home. He'd also have to start doing research, and see about legitimizing the Vongola. He was not going to be a criminal for long, he'd humor the idiots long enough to clean things up, and then he would choose a proper Heir, one that would not tolerate the Mafia bullshit. The Vongola was his ancestor's legacy, and it had been sullied by the damned branch family. Tsuna would do his duty, and clean it up, after that he would have a permanent case of 'Not My Problem'.

Tsuna knew that if he even gave Reborn a hint of what his true plans were he'd rat him out to Nono. He so loved his Intuition, it made things that much easier on him. " Usagi-chan, myself, and Ranko-sensei will go with you. Hayato, we'll be going tomorrow, you're in charge of protecting my mother, if you need help call Takeshi in, or let the Carnivore know. Hotaru will be here to help you, preferably with her genjutsu leanings. "

Hotaru smirks at this, that meant Tsuna wanted her to scare the ever loving hell out of any Idiots that decided to go after his mother, " I'll let Hibari know Rabbit and I will be out of the District, and that I have a new pack member. "

" If Reborn shows up? " Ranko asks.

" Drop kick his ass into more Chaos. " Tsuna says firmly.

Ranko rubs her hands together like Scrooge McDuck at the thought of making more money, " Got it, though maybe you should consider bringing Tendo Nabiki in as your accountant, or introducing her to a certain Miser Mist. "

Tsuna smirks wickedly, and sends a text to Bel-nii that Mammon would find the most delightful apprentice in Nerima by the name of Tendo Nabiki. Their marathon is put on hold in favor of plotting. Poor Nerima can feel DOOM heading their way, and not CHAOS. Their senses were much more refined, Nerimans could tell DOOM from CHAOS, and this was DOOM heading their way. They would only realize what kind of DOOM when Tendo Nabiki becomes the apprentice to Mammon, refining Nabiki's money making techniques, her blackmailing schemes, and her extortionist ways as well. Suon would cry rivers of blood when that meeting occurs. Nabiki would bust Ranma/Ranko upon meeting Tsuna, and Usagi, if not for the fact that Tsuna puts her in charge of selling any, and all blackmail they get on Reborn first, before selling it to Mammon, Nabiki would get thirty percent of all sales. This would buy her silence when she's brought to Namimori to become Tsuna's Chief Financial Officer.

When Belphegor reads that text out loud to Mammon/Viper the Miser Mist blinks, " Mu, I will be back, behave yourself, or else. I need to scout this girl out. "

Nerima:

Reborn shudders, something terrible had just happened, he knew it, yet he still couldn't get away from the girl whom had decided he was cute. Damn his looks, even stuck as a toddler. He never noticed that the Mist Arcobaleno was nearby, gathering information on Tendo Nabiki. The mere fact that most people were cursing her name for her extortionist habits, along with collecting blackmail, and refusing to give out information without a monetary reward for it...Mammon/Viper was salivating at having such a teen as an apprentice. Tendo Nabiki only needed her skills refined, and if possible her Flames woken up, oh, if she would be a Mist...that would be the icing on the cake.

Juuban:

Haruka shudders as she reaches the point in her Hime's journey as a senshi where they went to face down Beryl and Metalia. Jupiter, Venus, and Mars had hotdogged it, thinking they were all hot shit while Mercury had done her duty properly. Their spirits had only helped her to save their own hides, well, not Mercury. Poor girl had been bullied into being such a submissive that Haruka was genuinely worried for the bluenette. Moon had described each of her Inner Court's deaths with relish, she had stuck around to watch, though her Inner Court didn't know that. She had used her empathy to channel Mercury's Mist Flames so they would think she was with them, while in reality she had watched each of her senshi die, three of them for being so damned cocksure of themselves.

Haruka was almost ill at how graphically their deaths had been described, but she, herself, had killed Jupiter. Apparently their Hime had taken some enjoyment out of watching them die. Then again, from reading her journals Haruka couldn't blame her. They had never listened to her, not really, and neither had the Outer Court save for Saturn during the Silver Millennium. Michiru has just reached the point where Jupiter joins the team, since she happened to be an up and coming violinist she had less time for reading. Haruka could read in between laps at the racetrack while the team behind her tweaked things, and she had a tendency to blitz through her homework as well.

Neither of them sensed the arrival of a Brazilian teen with brown hair, and green eyes. This teen is Raimundo Pedrosa, Xiaolin Dragon of the Wind, and Shoku Warrior. He has with him the Sword of the Storm, and Blade of the Nebula. He needed a vacation from his well meaning friends. Though he never said anything, it had been their treatment of him in the beginning that practically drove him to the Heylin side, and Wuya. He had forgiven them, but he had not forgotten, he had put Kimiko Tohomiko in charge while he was gone since she did have some Street Smarts. When he had explained his reasoning Omi, and Clay had understood, since Raimundo's Street Smarts had saved their asses several times over the years. He would have brought along the Sword of Lucida as well, but felt it would be overkill. He did feel the Sky Flames that were still lingering as an undertone in Juuban. He'd been around enough organized crime to know about the so-called 'Dying Will Flames' which was more than likely natural psychic ability that the Criminal Underworld decided they had a monopoly on.

He knew he happened to be a Rainy Sun, he just had a tendency to curbstomp any idiots that thought they could jump him in. Some of them went after the Shen Gong Wu, so he used the Xiaolin Showdowns as a means of getting their entire group to leave him the hell alone. He knew Jack Spicer was now apprenticed to a cursed scientist by the name of Verde. Oh, Jack still went after the Shen Gong Wu, mostly out of boredom, since he did like to get some exercise, at least more than his new master at any rate. Finding out Jack was a Lightning did explain how he was able to take such a beating though. He stretches his senses out further, and can catch the undertones of a different Sky, one that made his Rainy Sun flames sit up, and practically beg. With a shrug he follows the faint trace, he had nothing better to do anyhow.

Italy:

Timoteo Vongola, Vongola Nono, shudders for no apparent reason. Something truly horrible had happened, and he had no idea what. Had he known what he was feeling was the meeting of Mammon/Viper, and her soon to be future apprentice Tendo Nabiki, he would have started praying to any deity listening that one of his biological sons had survived. He really should have handed over the reins when he could. Instead he felt he knew best, and now he was paying for it.

Witches 5 HQ:

Eudial observes the obvious foreigner, and decides he would be a perfect victim for a Pure Heart Crystal, if only to find the three Treasures. What Daimon to use though.

Juuban proper:

Well honed senses have Raimundo dodging, and he sweat drops, " Of all the people going about their business you have to choose me as your victim of the day. Lady, you have no idea whom you're messing with. Shoku Astro Wind! "

Eudial curses long and loud as she gets slammed by the vicious wind attack, a damned Xiaolin Warrior! What the actual fuck was a Xiaolin Warrior doing walking around in street clothes? He was on her before she could even summon the daimon, the Sword of the Storm in his hands, and he slashes with it, decapitating her in one smooth motion. The rest of the Witches' 4 now are all stunned at what had just happened. They hadn't realized that Shen Gong Wu were a danger to them, though they should have. They were mystical artifacts after all. Raimundo continues on his way, not even disturbed by ending the female. She was a senshi enemy controller, which meant she would have died soon enough anyhow. The middle men controllers always seemed to, or they were permanently indisposed. Xanxus, should he ever meet Jadeite would find a drinking buddy that understood what it was like to be frozen alive. Hell, Jadeite would become his Cloud Officer once Tsuna reversed the spell placed on Jadeite.
