Fon didn't know what to expect when Reborn had shown up and all but dragged him off to the CEDEF headquarters. He had heard the stories of course. Something about how Lal's blood pressure was through the roof. Colonnello was armed with the most unusual things on hand. Viper muttering constantly under their breath about calculations and budgets. Verde had mentioned something about a lion and Skull was walking around with parenting books for reasons Fon had yet to find out.

Finding his nephew was not what he expected.

Nor was meeting Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Kyoya?" Fon asked in disbelief. Why was Kyoya here in Italy? Why wasn't he in Japan? Did his parents know?

Kyoya just looked up at him, clearly unimpressed to see him. His nephew ignored Fon and returned to indulging a younger brown haired toddler who insisted on holding Kyoya's hand.

Lal grabbed Fon by the collar of his shirt. "Tsunayoshi brought back a Hibari. Specifically your nephew. Fix this!"

What Lal expected him to fix and how he was supposed to fix it, Fon didn't know. It shouldn't be too hard though, right?

Famous last words Fon.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It turned out that Fon didn't know many things. Like how he, Kyoya and Tsunayoshi ended up outside. Like how Tsunayoshi disappeared and Kyoya actually looked concerned about it. Like how he tracked Tsunayoshi down to a place that experimenting on children.

Fon may have overreacted. Just a little.

In his defense, Fon was worried out of his mind. Kyoya insisted on running ahead into stronger men who wanted to hurt him, Tsunayoshi was still missing and Fon could still feel the chill that Reborn had sent down his spine with the warning of what he would do should anything, anything happen to Tsuna.

He winced a little as the building that previously housing those awful experiments crumbled under the full force of Fon's Flames. Fon winced once more as he looked at the five children with him (Kyoya, Tsuna and the only three children still alive from the experiments).

Lal was going to kill him.

That was assuming Reborn didn't beat her to it.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Lal glowered at Fon. "What do you have to say for yourself?" she asked, growling. 'Because I distinctly remember asking you to fix this… NOT MAKE IT WORSE!"

Fon hung his head in shame.

"Left with two, came back with five," Verde said. "Remarkable. Not even Skull managed to do that."

Tsuna was currently being passed around to the crying and worried family members. Xanxus was growling as he checked over Tsuna, with Squalo hovering and Dino reaching to grab Tsuna from Xanxus. Unfazed by all of this and enjoying the attention, Tsuna merely laughed and answered all of the questions thrown his way.

Iemitsu, the idiot, snatched Tsuna from Xanxus and smothered Tsuna in a hug, crying tears of joy that Tsuna was hold safe and sound.

"Papa?"

Everyone froze. Fon curiously noted the look of despair that the other Arcobaleno had on their faces.

"Can they stay?" Tsuna asked.

Iemitsu beamed. "Of course we can keep your new siblings Tsuna!"

Lal looked at him in horror before punching him into a wall. Dino caught Tsuna before he tumbled to the ground.

"WE ARE NOT A FUCKING ORPHANAGE!" Lal screeched.

Fon looked at Reborn in quiet awe. "How do all of you handle this?"

Reborn, polishing his gun, grimaced. "With plenty of alcohol."

Skull squeezed his eyes shut and sighed. "Yeah, lots of alcohol."

That was when one of the small boys that Fon had rescued broke away from his friends and approached Tsuna. He was small and frail looking with a bandage around his left eye, but was still just slightly taller than Tsuna. Tsuna just beamed at him as the boy wrapped him in a tight hug. "Mine," he declared with an eerie smile.

The room exploded.

"HE'S NOT YOURS!" Hayato shouted.

"I'll bite you to death!" Kyoya leaped at the taller boy.

"You fucking brat!" Xanxus snapped, pulling out his guns.

Fon's jaw dropped as an all out brawl broke out. He was about to jump in before Skull stopped him. Reborn reappeared with Tsuna in his hand.

"You're going to be so much trouble when you grow up," Reborn said with a huff.

Tsuna merely giggled. "But I thought you like chaos, padrino?"

"Cheeky brat."

"Is it always like this?" Fon asked weakly. He watched as one of the walls came tumbling down.

"Yes," the rest of the Arcobaleno chorused.

"I'll take that drink now," Fon said.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Sawada Tsunayoshi was the eye of a chaos storm, sweeping up everyone in his path. A magnetic force that could not be ignored, drawing in the most dangerous. There was such a wide variety, many uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, and grandparents. His father was a little silly, but his godfather was always supportive. They were loud, dangerous and by no means normal.

Still Tsuna wouldn't change anything in the world for them. He loved them too much for that.

That's tentatively a wrap! Haha I never really expected to write this much more and I couldn't be bothered to be figure out how Tsuna got the rest of his Guardians (so sorry if you wanted to see Yamamoto or any other characters). If I ever figure it out, I'll come back to this plunny.

In the meantime, you can wander over to my tumblr (seitosokusha#.#tumblr#.#com#/#tagged/it-takes-a-village-au). There's a couple more notes with a slightly older Tsuna you can read about. You're also welcome to ask me more about this AU.

Thank you so much for the support. Please leave a review on your way out.
