CHAPTER 1
Goodbye old and Hello new life…maybe

"Final~ly!" Iemitsu, the officially retired CEDEF boss sang.

"I wish thee the best," Basil, the newly appointed CEDEF nods. His dirty blond hair was nicely parted to the side with no single hair out of place and was dressed on his best suit for his first day on his new position without Iemitsu.

"Thank you my once little padawan!" Iemitsu picked up his last box, then stopped, remembering something.

"Chief Saffron! Get over here!"

A mid-thirties man with sunglasses came rushing, very flustered, "Coming Boss, er sir!"

"I almost forgot to sign your retirement bonus," Iemitsu beams at him.

"Oh yeah," the man seemed distracted, but waits until Iemitsu digs inside his box for the paper.

"Ha! Here it is," with a last swirl on his signature, Iemitsu grins at his retired dark haired subordinate with pride, "You came a long way from that disastrous protection mission before becoming the Chief of Security. Now my little Tunafish finally boss for a whole year…"

Basil whipped out a tissue box to offer the tearing up man. The ex-boss nods gratefully and dries his tears, "Thank you for your hard work, Sa-saffron."

The man seemed uncomfortable as he awkwardly pats his old boss' shoulder, "Of course boss, er, sir. Once I finish this one last phone call, I'll be taking my leave for the new generation of CEDEF."

"Always a messy type guy, aren't you?" Iemitsu shakes his head amused before turning a serious look at Basil, "Be the best Basil. I know you can do this."

Basil nods gravely.


Tsuna was starting to nod off, trying not to fall asleep on his desk. He needed to finish this by today if he were to finish on time for the vacation trip later. Of course, only so long as there isn't any trouble or destruction for the next couple of hours.

Naturally, that is when an explosion went off somewhere in the Vongola mansion. This time he lets his head hit the desk painfully.

"Grandpa knew this will happen, he totally did," Tsuna whimpers from the desk. The exhausted Vongola boss turns his head to the side, "At least Reborn is out with Yuni and the rest of the Arcobaleno, celebrating their 4-year anniversary of the breaking of the Curse."

There was another explosion going off. The Vongola boss sighs, "Shame I won't be joining them anymore."

A memory of the grateful look Aria gave to Tsuna as Yuni runs around, painting the walls with her orange colored hands put a small smile to the Vongola boss' face. He knows how the older woman no longer must worry the possibility of not able to see her daughter grow up or the impending doom of her little girl living a short life.

The mansion shook for a third time, rattling his coffee mug, breaking Tsuna's content thoughts.

"That's it!" Tsuna hissed, "The Science department was destroyed last week and I cannot keep paying for these damages any longer!"

He stomped out in the hallway passing by upset servants who stepped away from their furious boss.


"That is big hole, Big Brother!" Takeshi nervously laughed at the damage made by Ryohei excited punch.

"Idiots! Don't you remember Juudaime threatened us if we destroy even one vase, there will be consequences?!" Hayato clutched his messy hair in frustration staring at the destroyed hallway. So much damage everywhere.

"BUT OCTOPUS-HEAD YOU WERE THE ONE WHO EXTREMELY BROKE THAT WHOLE WALL!" Ryohei wasn't about to be the only hypocrite here. The boxer-part-time-healer reminded who actually started their fight.

Hayato narrows his eyes, remembering why he tried to blow up his fellow guardian, "Because you destroyed the wrong warehouse, which in reality it was the one next it!"

"I WAS EXTREMELY AIMING AT THE EXTREME TARGET AND THEY EXTREMELY DUCKED!"

Before the guardians decided to go back to fighting again, the Vongola boss arrived.

Takeshi turns to see Tsuna and cringed as he remembered how the three of them should have reported to him a half-hour ago when they arrived from their mission.

The rain guardian was about to greet his boss to calm him when Tsuna let out a strangled whimper.

At the sound of the Vongola boss, the two bickering guardians stopped and stare at their open mouth boss.

"Tsuna...take deep breathes," Takeshi slowly walked toward his friend. In response, Tsuna only splutters nonsense words. The Vongola don barely able to cap his flames, threatening to explode.

Tsuna pulled his hair and stare at the massacred South wing of the Vongola Mansion. The hallway was no longer small. Instead the first floor now has a high ceiling that ranges up to the third floor with missing guest rooms at the sides. Pieces of glass and debris were scattered about. The priceless heirloom paintings and furniture are now officially lost forever from being passed on to future generations. Unless one counts burnt ashes as something that can be inherited.

There was sputtering broken electric wiring from the chandelier that he knows is from the second main dining room from the floor under them, broken across three rooms, scattering its shattered remains everywhere.

The only thing that tops this mess was last week when Hibari and Mukuro began their all-out fight for some reason within the mansion, near the Science Department of all places! Something about dyeing Hibird purple or a basket of minced pineapple. Either way, the damage was so bad, the Science department had to be moved to a temporary headquarters. Making matters worse, there were some weapons that were getting a tune up as well as their headsets. Thanks to the destruction, it interrupted their first full-blown check of the security system. Hence the increase number of guardians in missions for the lack of proper useable equipment to be able to back each other up.

The poor Vongola boss was unresponsive for days that the guardians and CEDEF had to came in to help. Reborn was not amused, surprisingly the sentiment was mostly aimed at the guardians since Tsuna had explicitly told them if they wanted to fight, do it in the training halls made specifically for them.

Now, Tsuna seems like he was close to another mental breakdown. It was after a minute, he was able to take a deep breath to relax. He still feels the lingering effects of Reborn doing inexplicable things to snap out of his panic attack when Tsuna still didn't respond after things settled down.

Tsuna glares at Takeshi who was casually trying to summon his rain flames to keep Tsuna from going into a full-blown panic attack, "Don't."

Then he turns to his guardians with a dark look, "The servants here just made this place as comfortable for us especially since we were going to have a small party before going on a trip. Now it will be postponed…no its officially cancelled until some people learns the meaning of restraint."

They all look down, very much like a trio of kicked puppies. Tsuna's fury fizzle out, "I know you are used to have your Vongola gear and disappointed at the longer delay for your box animals, but taking it out by destroying things isn't helping anyone. This time I won't send you to a mission with low-risk, boring security detail. Instead you are to clean up this whole place."

Tsuna looks around the damages, but frowns as he picks up the plaster that was placed a few days ago. It seemed weak and the wiring seemed off for some reason...

Hayato spoke up, "I can call in the same construction company again that the Chief of Security from CEDEF recommended."

Tsuna looks up, "If they are cleared, they can come, but you still have to clear up the scattered broken furniture and secure the area. I don't want another butler hanging from the ceiling again."

Takeshi laughs, "Poor Stephano. At least he liked the beach vacation."

Tsuna shakes his head in exasperation. The main butler is still on his half year off break from the traumatizing experience of the tenth generation Vongola or as some of his closer allies the Neo Vongola first generation, "Don't forget to turn in your reports and don't leave anything out that I have to find out from some slighted Don, again."

They nervously laughed as Tsuna walked off.


Hibari was annoyed with the fact his mission was given to those herbivores. So what if he destroyed the Science Department HQ located in one of Vongola's mansion basements? The only good thing out of being sent to his room, was that that pineapple was in the same boat. Not even Chrome would help her other half.

He distantly hears explosions somewhere at the other side of the mansion. It will seem like they have returned and felt a little great knowing the little animal will not be happy by their disturbance.

Once his last hours of his week-long punishment are done, some biting to death are in order. He was just started thinking up worthy punishments when someone dared to burst into his room.

"Gwahaha!"

For one furious minute, he thought it was the younger self of the lightning guardian, but quickly remembered the switch will not happen for another 6 years.

"Herbivore, what are doing here?" Hibari growls. Typical herbivores, some just never learn any lessons, painful or otherwise.

"Eh?" Lambo looks at him and paled. He slowly backed out of the room. When Hibari was one second away from attacking, Lambo trips into the hallway and ran like mad, "I-Pin! You traitor! He was still inside!"

Hibari was a step away from entering the hallway when he caught sight of Tsuna who just turned around the corner.

"…"

"…"

After a long silent stare down, Tsuna crosses his arms, "Hello Kyoya."

Basically, Tsuna was asking What did you think you were doing, trying to get out of your room?

Hibari in response, growls and shuts the door. He really cannot wait to get out of his room.


Shoichi was muttering to himself and frowning in between.

"Anything?" Giannini asks, "I know I had at least got rid of my tendencies of messing up tune ups by now."

"All systems are good, but it's still acting up during the security sweep. Could be someone trying to hack in," Spanner shrugs. Behind them the people in the Science inventing division were taking notes and calculating in paper. For the newer members who were used to electronic devices, it was slow going.

The reason is that after the Science department cried in happiness to finally return to their previously destroyed base (with new updated tech), there has been hiccups in the system. They didn't trust that anything they put in will not be in security risk and leaked to who knows what kind of people. Especially with the upgraded Vongola gear that had to be postponed which now is pushing to more than a week when usually it's done in one day!

"Still nothing wrong in the system. Yet there is something in the waves when clearly nothing is being sent. It's like someone is trying to reroute copies of what we have," Shoichi turns gravely at the upper echelon of Vongola Science division, "I fear we must clear out the whole system and start from scratch to find the problem."

There was a wave of whimpering throughout the division. All the work they had been working on the last year, which is a lot with the fact they had the cutting-edge technology in the world, it's now going to be permanently deleted.

Spanner takes out his lollipop, "Good thing I made hard copies of everything."

Loud jubilant cheers replace the despair cries. Giannini hugs Spanner tightly in gratitude. "How do we ever repay you?!"

"I wouldn't mind those rare flavor lollipops," Spanner offered not affected much at the crushing hug.

Shoichi shakes his head at the Vongola science division's antics. He turns back to the computer with a frown.

"I better tell Tsunayoshi about this…"
