Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
If Monday was chaotic, Tuesday would be disastrous.
Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo, who always had Vongola infamous hyper-intuition, was using that ability unconsciously and having really bad feeling about going to his mansion where assassinate unit, Varia, was staying for the time being.
Why must Varia Quality take a vacation in Japan?!
Tsuna never needed the answer, already knowing that was Reborn's doing. Still he couldn't help protesting inwardly.
At 7 o'clock, the bell of the house was ringing nonstop. Someone obviously kept pressing it while waiting for the door to open, Tsuna didn't know whether the visitor had no manner or was not tolerant at all.
"Tsu-kun! Your friends are here!" His mother called him from downstairs.
Tsuna groaned. He should know that there were only his friends who would keep ringing the doorbell until someone went out to let them in. He got up and walked down when he finished making himself presentable.
"SAWADA!"
As soon as Tsuna appeared in front of living room, Ryohei stood up from the sofa, calling loudly. Now Tsuna knew who was the one ringing his doorbell earlier.
"Shut up, Lawn-head!" Gokudera yelled back before smiling happily at the Tenth. "Good morning, Tenth! I've come to help you today!"
"You're extremely louder than me, Octopus-head!"
"Don't call me that, idiot!"
"Maa, maa, let's get along." Yamamoto, who was still sitting and drinking tea, tried to calm two hot-headed.
"Not your damn business, Baseball-freak!"
Tsuna sweat-dropped. He had given up stopping these guardians when they had argument over something like this since a long time ago, so he went to the kitchen where his mother was preparing breakfast. She placed his meal beside Reborn's seat.
Seeing ex-Arcobaleno's sly smile made Tsuna feel irritated, doubting why the man still came to have most of his meals in Sawada Residence while he already had new place to stay.
"You called them, didn't you?"
"Yes. I'm so generous that I let you go with your friends. Even Gokudera spent his time to come here first. You should thank me."
"Are you kidding me?!" Tsuna snapped, ignoring the fact that eventhough the other two won't go with him, Gokudera who was staying at the mansion permanently would follow him to meet Varia anyway. "It's hard enough to go alone to meet Varia, but it'll be chaos if they go with me!"
Reborn smirked. "That's my catchphrase, No-Good Tsuna. Find another word."
"FOR GOD'S SAKE! Could you get serious?!" The brunette hit his hand on the table hard, almost knocking a glass of juice down. "Like hell I would want that word as my catchphrase. You know what I mean."
"They were skipping school for their boss. Be thankful." Reborn said, sipping his espresso elegantly. Tsuna was really thinking about punching that handsome face now, but trying to repress it. "If you are unable to control the damages done by your own guardians and subordinates, you can't be the boss."
I don't want to be either.
He often forgot Reborn's claim to have mind-reading skill. This time was included. The barrel of the gun was pressed to the side of his head immediately after thinking that.
"If you make me waste my five-year time for nothing, I won't hesitate to kill you."
Tsuna sighed. "I know."
"Splendid." His deep voice sounded sarcastic. "Then eat fast and get going."
It couldn't be helped. That's why Tsuna had three companions going with him to Vongola Mansion.
Vongola Mansion was in Namimori Forest, where most of town-people avoided entering. However, Tsuna lost count how many times he walked around, because his Family used the forest for the training since ring battle. Therefore the Ninth stated that he would build the mansion for the tenth generation to do their work in Namimori, Tsuna couldn't agree more when Reborn suggested this forest to be the place where the mansion would be located.
Namimori Forest was like the most complicated maze anyway. It even could soundproof the sound of bombs (by Gokudera), painful screams (from assassins who tried to kill the tenth boss of Vongola Family), Ryohei's EXTREME voice, and Squalo's VOI. Really, Tsuna couldn't ask for anywhere better.
They didn't hear the familiar voice ringing across the field in front of the mansion, until they walked through the woods.
"You fucking boss! Stop being so damn annoying and EAT THAT OMELET!"
It became silence for a moment. Maybe the boss of the voice's owner was speaking something.
"I DON'T CARE WHETHER THERE'S TOMATO IN THERE OR NOT! JUST FUCKING EAT IT!... VOIIIIIIIII! DON'T THROW GLASS AT MY HEAD! DAMN IT!"
"That's Squalo's voice." Yamamoto laughed good-naturedly. He never minded the swordsman's shouting. Moreover, he even admired the guy's voice that could pierce through earplugs. "I never know that Xanxas hates tomato."
Why aren't you worried about Squalo? He must have concussion by now. And if he keeps screaming like that, he will get more hurt, you know?
Tsuna wasn't worried about Squalo's throat. It must be very strong, because the swordsman always used his ear-piercing voice, never getting sore throat once, which is really miracle. He just felt troubled if Xanxus started hurting his vice (whom he never saw in severe injury in spite of the Varia boss' cruelty), it could cost him a lot to buy new things into the mansion and, maybe, pay the hospital bill for Squalo because the man's boss just ignored it.
"YOU CAN EAT TOMATO. WHY CAN'T YOU EAT IT WHEN IT'S IN OMELET?! VOIIIIII! STOP THAT!"
The screaming sounded like Squalo was hit by glass again.
Some people didn't like certain ingredient in some menu. Obviously, Xanxus' was tomato in omelet.
"Idiots" Gokudera mumbled.
"Hey! I extremely don't like when there is carrot in my miso soup!" Ryohei told them seriously, like this was very important.
"If it's omelet, I won't eat any if it doesn't have milk." Yamamoto added.
Since when did this conversation turn to the food topic?
"Oh~ Hello~"
When they turned back to the voice, they found Fran behind them. Tsuna groaned. The boy was... famous for his speaking which made many around him irritated. Hell. Even Mukuro who was the boy's teacher couldn't stand him. And his mist guardian was the most annoying in the entire Family.
"Why are you here, Girlish Boss?"
The question made Tsuna's right eye twitch. Fran called him like this since he was in middle school. Eventhough his physique was different now, the boy still stuck with that name.
"This is my mansion, Fran." Tsuna answered before Gokudera snapped. The silver-haired never had self-control when his boss was called bad names.
"You must plan something." Fran narrowed his eyes.
"It's none of your business, Frog-head!" Gokudera yelled.
"Ow~ Old man was meanie."
"Who is old man!?"
"You because your hair is white... and another white hair guy over there"
"I'm extremely not old!" Ryohei screamed immediately.
"My hair was silver!" Gokudera argued as well.
While his friends felt pissed off, Yamamoto was laughing, making Gokudera glare at him.
See? They didn't walk into the mansion yet, but his guardians were starting the fight now.
"Why are you here, Fran? If I remembered correctly, you are supposed to be with Kokuyo this week..." Tsuna changed the subject and ignored his guardians.
Fran pouted. "My pineapple-headed Master kicked me out from Kokuyo Land."
Mukuro was sadistic, Tsuna never doubted that, but the boss of Kokuyo Gang was reasonable... well, in his own way. He would never kick his underlings out of his territory, except that the guy really making him mad.
Oh... Tsuna wasn't surprised at all. Fran had particular ability to piss anyone off anytime. Just open his mouth, and most of listener would want to eviscerate him and throw his use-to-be body to the vultures. Why did Tsuna know? Of course! He knew because he sometimes felt that he wanted to do it by himself.
"Please don't give me any details." Tsuna face-palmed, shaking his head. "Could you lead the way to where the other is?"
"No. I'm running away from Fake-prince. No way will I go back in there now."
Isn't it great? The boy just ticked off his co-worker too.
"Okay. Then you should go before..."
Before Tsuna could finish, familiar knives suddenly came and stuck at the frog cap. Fran still had no reaction. In the contrary, three guardians stopped their fight, and looked at the boy surprisingly.
"Ouch" That's the only thing young illusionist said indifferently. He turned to Vongola Mansion where someone just got out with the silver knives in his hand. "It hurts, Bel-senpai."
"Ushishishi. Because I want it to, you annoying frog." That's when Belphegor noticed Gokudera who was activating Systema C.A.I. for fighting with other two guardians, which Tsuna considered this really unnecessary and overdoing. "Oh. You're here."
Damn it! Now he must deal with two storm guardians from Vongola and Varia fighting each other.
"I'm glad that Fake-prince and Silver-haired old man forget about me. Then I'll get going..." Fran started walking away, but Storm Flame and a knife almost got his head this time and stopped him immediately.
"Don't you dare walking away, frog."
"I told you! I'm not an old man!"
Both Storm Guardians shouted at the same time. They approached the illusionist. Belphegor was blocking the way to get inside the mansion, while Gokudera was standing in the way to the woods. Fran really had no way out, because both of them used middle-ranged weapons.
"Oops."
You just realize that now?
Finally Tsuna had time to signal his Rain and Sun Guardians to lower their weapons and go into Vongola Mansion with him. When they were far enough, Tsuna turned back to took a picture which was contained three boys fighting with one another, making the yard completely destroyed in the process.
The tenth boss of Vongola Family felt really angry, and noted to himself.
After this, I must cut down their salaries. Their money will be spent for repairing my wrecked garden. And I will make sure that three of them will receive more trifling missions, like cleaning weapons or weeding whole garden of Vongola Castle in Italy!
"Sawada! Your eyes look really extreme!"
"Calm down, Tsuna. You really look like you want to use X-Burner on them."
Too late. But thanks for your concern.
Maybe because he was... occupied earlier, he didn't notice the voice from the mansion increasing. Now it's not just Squalo's voice anymore.
It's the sound of something exploded.
Xanxus!
When Tsuna kicked the door open furiously, Mammon floated to him and confirmed his suspect.
"I won't pay for the damages." And the unknown-gender ex-Arcobaleno just disappeared into thin air... like that.
He ran away!
Of course you don't pay. How about deducing your salary for the payment?
"Yamamoto, Big brother," Tsuna called his two guardians. His darker and deeper voice made both Rain and Sun Guardians shudder. "If anyone gets in my way, take them out."
That's when Lussuria appeared. The gay screamed happily in the second he found Ryohei.
And he was knocked by Maximum Cannon immediately, which made Tsuna and Yamamoto stare at the white-haired, dumbfounding by the fact that their senpai put all of his EXTREME strength in that fist.
"You told me to take them out when someone get in your way, Sawada!"
"He just showed up, Big brother! We don't know his purpose yet!" Tsuna snapped back, pointing at the hole that used to be the wall. "And why did you blow up the wall!?"
Even idiot would understand that the tenth boss of Vongola Family was obviously concerned about his mansion more than the passing out Varia.
Sun Guardian just laughed as the answer... for a moment, because the temperature had dropped by several degrees. Tsuna glared at him with the eyes that could surpass even Hibari Kyouya's. Ryohei flinched. Well, it's not the first time he felt scared of his boss.
"Just clear the mess, please. Tomorrow I will send someone to repair it."
Ryohei nodded and ran to bring a broom here.
Before Tsuna started walking again, he took a picture of Lussuria. Maybe he would write description as Lussuria, knocked out by Sasagawa Ryohei who was so determined to follow order that he destroyed part of the mansion.
Great. He captured the picture of the hole as well. It would be great evidence for Ryohei's doing.
Oh. He forgot to mention that he would deduce Ryohei's payment and spend it for building reparation.
"I think you stay with adult little guy too much, Tsuna." Yamamoto interrupted his friend's thinking. "You're starting to... err, smirk evilly like him."
Wow. Even Yamamoto admitted that he thought Reborn was evil. And, why did you put adult and little in the same phrase? Adult Reborn isn't little at all!
While Rain Guardian told him that he became like Reborn, Tsuna thought otherwise. He would become another Mammon if he felt more concerned about money. The difference from ex-Mist Arcobaleno was that he thought about money he spent than money he received.
When two teenagers almost reached the dining room, the door of the said room was crashed. The body flew out of the room, clashing the wall and laying unconscious on the floor. In spite of being this far, Tsuna could see that the man was Xanxus' stalker, Leviathan.
In Xanxus' opinion, this guy was really, REALLY annoying and the most frustrating guy in Varia.
The boss of Varia seldom talked to Decimo, but when he joined the conversation, most of the topics would be about the missions, Nono, and his subordinates, mostly named Leviathan.
That only happened when Xanxus wasn't in bad mood, which was really rare opportunity. Because most of the time the man ended up taking out his weapons and starting the fire to everyone in the room.
Compared to when Tsuna was in middle school, Xanxus was more tolerable to the younger boss. At least boss of Varia listened to Tsuna when he should listen.
One of those occasions was when Tsuna was angry.
This moment was absolutely one of them.
Well, the cause of Vongola Decimo's wrath often involved with unnecessary expenses. Of course anyone in the Family would know that this time was included as well.
The dining room was really the mess. Before the destruction of the wall, carpet, and ceiling (the chandeliers fell on the dining table by now), it must be only food throwing at one another. The yellow thing that used to be omelet with tomato was on the wall beside the door by Xanxus who was still sitting in his seat.
Where was Squalo? He was lying down on the floor, piled by the use-to-be breakfast, obviously, wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
Tsuna didn't forget to take a picture of the silver-haired man whom Yamamoto started to drag out of the room, before turned to face with boss of Varia.
"Can I ask why my mansion became like this?"
The smile still plastered on the brunette's face, but his voice was covered by venom.
"Ask your chef, trash." Xanxus answered, trying to ignore the killing intent that radiated from the younger boss. "He put tomato in my omelet."
"He wasn't the one who shot the Flame of Rage to someone else' property." Tsuna grabbed a plate which still had the food on it and wasn't broken from the table. "You know what? I feel really pissed off now."
"Like I care."
"Really?"
Xanxus' mask started to fall off. He looked a little troubled, which anyone wouldn't notice at all, but Tsuna had never been that anyone.
"Well, I'm considering about deducing Varia members' salary for the time being. I need the money for repairing Vongola Mansion. Grandfather Timoteo will definitely approve it once he hears what happened." Tsuna stated with smile that looked sly. Xanxus got the hint in that moment that he shouldn't argue anything, because the boy was giving the feeling like his adopted father now. "There will be more punishment, of course. Except you do something for me."
"What, scum?"
Tsuna's smile widened. "Sit still."
Before Xanxus could react, the plate in Tsuna's hand was thrown into the man's scarred face.
The face which became dirty without blinking an eye was ridiculous as hell, and Tsuna didn't hesitate at all to bring out his digital camera. The brunette smiled at the photo he just took.
"You look really handsome, Xanxus. Grandfather will be pleased." Tsuna chuckled. "You should smile as well. Not that I complained anyway."
After that, chaos was really an understatement.
AN: Finally this chapter was finished.
I was really busy last week. Even if this chapter was almost finished since Friday, I couldn't continue it at all until today. So, as soon as I've finished, I put it here.
For acknowledgement, I won't pair Tsuna with anyone. It'll be no pairing like Conversation with Marshmellow, the previous work of mine. You could imagine the pairing by yourself but I won't write it. I'm too lazy to change my plot now. (though I'm thinking about R27, but I changed my mind in spite of disappointment.)
Please review. Many thanks for reading and wonderful reviews.
