"Mammon, I will pay you fifty percent of all the money from the trades I'm cutting out if you help me sort this mess."

"Deal," said Mammon without hesitation.

"And that includes the fee I'll undoubtedly pay the Varia in order to dispose of the recently acquired trash properly...just be sure to leave evidence behind for the cops to use," said Tsunami.

"Understandable. And may I ask that I be present when your idiot genetic donor figures out you're a better mafioso than he is?"

"Of course!"

"So let me get this straight. We're not heading back to the town until after you get this mess sorted out?" said Takeshi.

"I've filled for an extended vacation. As far as they know it's a family emergency, and we need a week to deal with it," said Tsunami cheerfully.

"What sort of family emergency?" asked Yusuke.

"Our grandmother died, it was just awful," said Tsunami with a straight face, well aware that Genkai was in hearing range.

"I thought I heard something insulting brat," said Genkai, irritably.

"It was just terrible! She suddenly keeled over and croaked at ninety!" said Tsunami with a straight face.

Genkai's face twitched. Yusuke's did too, for a very different reason.

"I'm only seventy you brat!"

"I don't know, with those wrinkles you could be mistaken for ninety," said an innocent voice.

It was Fon, and he looked far too amused.

"So you won?"

"And now we need to straighten out the spoils so I can get rid of the things we don't want or need and still be allowed into Mafia Land," said Tsunami. "I'm thinking dispose of the more dangerous and slippery idiots and let the cops sort out the rest. Might as well make them useful for once."

She was not letting a human or drug trafficker slip through the net if all she had to do was let the Varia do their jobs.

"So what are we calling this budding famiglia of yours?" asked Fon with dark amusement.

Tsunami's face went blank.

"I honestly have no idea. I was leaning toward Arc-En-Ciel or something..." she admitted.

"As in the French term for Rainbow?" said Mammon.

"Well I do have at least one Arcobaleno on my side, so why not?"

"Too obvious," said Mammon.

"Hmm... what to call us..."

"Did you know that whenever you get serious about something, Tora-hime, that your eyes glow amber like the twilight sky during dawn and dusk?" said Fon.

"Twilight Eyes... It sounds really good, but I really, really don't want to be associated with that series. It was an insult to proper vampire lore and downgraded the genre. No one takes vampires seriously anymore."

"I'll agree to that," said Genkai in disgust. There were answering nods to all who had read or even seen the movies.

"How about Tiger Eyes instead, since we call her Tora-hime all the time?" suggested Yusuke.

That got snorts of amusement all around.

"Then shall we make it official? The new famiglia under Tora-hime is the Tiger Eyes?" said Fon amused.

It was a small group, more like a family. And it wasn't like any of the famiglia or Triad groups he had dealt with before. But Fon could honestly say that if the little tiger put her mind to it, she could change the underworld.

However a lot of people wouldn't like that, so until then he would have to protect her. Fon didn't mind harmonizing with someone as gentle and kind as Tsunami.

Even if it was a foolish dream...it was something he cherished.

"Now... what was this about cleaning up a mess?" asked Fon.

Tsunami handed him a sheaf of papers.

"This is what I won off Sakyou when he disbanded the Black Book Club forcibly and seized their assets. I want to get rid of any drug and human trafficking...and I'm fully prepared to have the Varia clean out the more slippery fools who think they have nothing to fear because they can buy off the cops and the judge," said Tsunami.

Fon took one look at the contents of the paper...and his face went flat.

"I see."

"Like I said, I'm not about to keep scum like that alive. The lower ranks can be dealt with by the cops...but the higher ups, those smart enough to be able to remake what they lost using the same tactics? They're dead as far as I'm concerned. The world has enough darkness without adding more to it."

Fon's smile was dark and rather...anticipatory.

He knew some of these names and he sometimes had dark thoughts of dealing with the scum after he ran into them.

"...Mind if I take a few of these?" he asked hopefully.

"Stay long enough for us to troll Reborn, then we'll send you off to play with them. I'm guessing you've had plenty of experience with them already?"

"More than enough that I'd wipe them out with a smile on my face," he admitted. "Did you just say 'troll Reborn'?"

"You said the Ninth was calling him in on for something, and with Federico dead the only 'heir' left is me, apparently, since it's doubtful he'd want to wake Xanxus up. That is, if he still hasn't figured out his adopted son is no longer in his care. Which means he's likely to be sent to train a 'civilian' into becoming Decimo."

"..."

Fon looked very much like he wanted to cackle.

"If agree to hold one of the cameras, can I join in to see the look on his face?" he asked hopefully. This was too amusing to pass up.

Mammon and Verde shared a smirk.

"Feel free. Besides, you get to design your own room since the hime has already picked a new house to live in," said Mammon.

Reborn had a weird feeling about the house ever since his ploy to get into the family was accepted so easily. The girl was hiding something from him and she was far too accepting of the whole mafia heiress thing for him to like.

And then he met the girl's "big brother" and things clicked into place.

"...You're Fon's Sky, aren't you?"

"Yup," she agreed smiling. "We were waiting for you to show up before we moved out of the house. We didn't want you to cause a scene just as we were settling in."

"...I am going to kill Iemitsu."

"And to think, we haven't even gotten to the fun parts yet!" chirped Tsunami.

Reborn's desire to murder the incompetent "Young Lion" shot up by several degrees within the first hour. By the end of the week, that desire had solidified.

He figured he at least owed Timoteo a fair warning.

"Did something happen?"

"You should probably start looking for a new External Adviser now. When I see Iemitsu I am going to murder him so brutally that even the Varia would take notes."

"...That bad?"

"Everything I was told about my new student is so off the mark it's embarrassing."

Timoteo sighed.

"I take it I should start the process of unfreezing Xanxus?"

"I never said she wouldn't make a good Decima. I'm saying that your head of intelligence is a complete idiot. If anything she's going to turn the Alliance on it's head when she finally starts taking the center stage," deadpanned Reborn. "She's a better mafioso than her own genetic donor is."

"...I'm confused."

"And I'm not ruining the shock you're about to get when you find out what she's been doing while Iemitsu avoids his wife and daughter," said Reborn vindictively. "On the plus side, she's mostly just missing a Mist Guardian, since the one she rescued would better serve as her secretary."

"Are you telling me the seal was removed?"

Reborn blinked.

"She was sealed? She was strong enough to harmonize with Fon and she has Verde on a loose contract as her head scientist on top of having more than just a single set of Guardians. She has three Lightnings, two Storms, two Suns, a very grumpy Cloud, her little Mist, and a Rain that's a natural hit man. And that's not including the others she's managed to snag, none of which are entirely human."

"Reborn, I don't think my heart can take much more of this. Next thing I know you'll be telling me she has demons on her payroll."

"Her boyfriend is Youko Kurama," said Reborn, enjoying this far too much.

There was the sound of crashing on the other end and some panicked yells. Reborn hung up after that.

Too bad he couldn't see the shock on Timoteo's face finding out his current heir was dating such a well known demon.

"I bet we could bribe Koenma into showing us his face when he heard the news," said Tsunami grinning.

Reborn smirked.

If asked he would gladly admit he liked this girl. She had the right mindset for a mafia boss and she didn't take shit from anyone.

He could see why Fon was so fond of his "Tora-Hime" and couldn't wait for Nono's reaction to the Tiger Eyes famiglia making a name for themselves in the real world.

And no, he didn't particularly mind helping them filter out who should live and die. Some trash didn't deserve to live, and he didn't associate with the lower ranked idiots anyway. Besides, it showed that his new student at least had the backbone to do what was necessary.

Lal was looking through the reports and had to blink. It seemed there was a new player in the underworld, one that they should probably take seriously. It took a lot of power to tempt a demon to join a famiglia and this "Tiger Eyes" openly boasted four of them at least. Two ice apparitions, one wind demon and drunkard that could out-brawl any human.

This new famiglia had come out of the ashes of the Black Book Club and was at least trying for respectable, if the fact they were disposing of the drug and human trafficking contacts they had acquired. The weapons were left alone, which was rather sensible.

However anyone that could hire the Varia to do spring cleaning and had demons in their ranks had the potential to be a major player. And to think, they hadn't been acknowledged as a legitimate famiglia for a full month yet.

"Anything new?" asked Oregano.

"New famiglia. Might be trouble later," said Lal, handing over the profile.

"Tiger Eyes?"

"The name's original, at least," said Lal.

"Demons, openly able to afford multiple Varia missions, has an Active Sky..." Oregano read out loud.

This new famiglia could become either a major thorn or a potentially powerful fledgling ally to the Vongola.

"Has the boss read this?"

"He's out drinking, again," said Lal in disgust. There was no love lost between her and the head of CEDEF. The only reason the idiot hadn't been iced or just plain fired was because Nono favored him and the man was going senile.

"Should we investigate?"

"Let's wait out and see what their first big move is before we start looking into them. For all we know they might be another family that ends within a year once they try to jump into the game."

A lot of baby Families tried to do too much, too fast and ended up forcibly disbanded when they pissed the wrong person off. Even if their profile did sound impressive, it didn't mean anything if they couldn't handle it.

"By the way, did you hear? Reborn called the Ninth and delivered news that made him faint," said Oregano.

"Wonder what the headache told the old man to cause that reaction."

"From what I heard, the new heir is apparently dating a famous demon or something."

Lal stared.

"You're kidding."

"I also heard Reborn is pretty pissed with the Boss. He said that the Ninth is going to be down an External Adviser the next time he sees Iemitsu."

Lal blinked.

"What sort of intel did that idiot give Reborn to piss him off that much?"

Reborn barely tolerated Iemitsu's presence...so for him to openly declare he was going to murder the idiot the intel must have been so far off that even Reborn wouldn't forgive the idiot for it.

Tsunami was just getting home from school (it had become increasingly more tolerable of late) when she noticed the egg she got from Koenma glowing.

She quickly went and picked it up, eager to find out what sort of spirit beast she would get.

So far they had been able to narrow down Yusuke's as some sort of bird creature...still a baby though. It would likely need a good push before it grew up to it's full size.

Tsunami took her egg into the living room where most of her friends and family were. She was hugging it to her chest with a smile on her face.

"So your little egg is finally going to hatch? It's only been a month, right?" said Jin, ears quivering.

"Try closer to a month and a half," said Tsunami. "I can't wait to meet them!"

Needless to say quite a few of her group came to meet Tsunami's new partner.

Reborn could only pet Leon as he wondered what his new student was going to get out of that tiny egg.

Cracks began to form, before a silver light spilled from inside the egg.

When that died down, there was something new in Tsunami's arms. It only took a few seconds to register what she was holding before Yusuke started snickering.

"Looks like Tora-hime got herself a tiger cub!"

In Tsunami's arms was a silver-furred tiger with black stripes, with red and blue eyes. It yawned cutely and curled into her side with a purr.

"It's so cute! Now I have two furry animals to cuddle!" said Tsunami happily.

"What's the first one?" asked Reborn, smirking.

"Kurama," said Hiei bluntly.

Said thief was almost jealous of the newly 'hatched' tiger.

Tsunami put the cub down on the floor, and it tried to walk. It was a little gangly though and was no where near it's adult form. However unlike Yusuke you could tell right away that it still held a lot of power.

It was ridiculously cute though.

"What are you going to name this little one?" asked Fon.

"I was thinking Byakuya. I might have named it Byakko, but I really don't want to reference one of the Four Saint Beasts by accident," said Tsunami.

The newly named Byakuya (because you could tell right away it was a male) yawned, making it look even more adorable.

(A/N: Byakuya looks like the kitten Mutikapa from Utawarumono.)
