~.~.~.~.Another End to Peaceful Days.~.~.~.~
Tsuna felt the first few rays of the sun fall on his face as he tossed around not wanting to be disturbed in his sleep. But, fate would not let it be as first he felt a cold metal object on his forehead then he would open his eyes to see Reborn, his home tutor, pointing a gun at him.
"Wake up Dame-Tsuna" he said.
"Uwwaaah! Reborn don't wake people up by pointing guns at their faces!" Tsuna complained.
"Get up we have to go"
"But its 5 am! It's not even morning yet!"
"You have a visitor"
"Huh?"
"Look there"
Tsuna turned and saw Chrome standing outside his room as his door was already open. But the one who was beside her surprised him even more…
"Mammon?" Tsuna asked.
"Chrome?! Mammon?! What are you doing here?" Tsuna inquired
Chrome seemed visibly weak, malnourished but… her organs were still intact which meant that Mukuro must be alright which relieved him.
"Boss…" Chrome just stated as she felt embarrassed coming into the room of a boy who was also her boss.
"I'll tell you what happened… But it will cost you so pay up" Mammon ordered.
"Shut up Viper, no, Mammon that's your name now right?" Reborn said
"Don't ever call me Viper. I'll let you go this one time because it's the Ninth's orders" Mammon said.
"Well… Mukuro has been defeated" Mammon told them earning shocked expressions from Reborn and Tsuna.
"What?! But then how is Chrome able to have her organs?!" Tsuna asked.
"You'll be charged for extra questions"
"EH?!"
"Shut up Dame-Tsuna. What I want to know is how that guy managed to escape Vendicare Prison" Reborn asked the floating Arcobaleno.
"Oh? As observant as ever I see. Well now let's get to the point. Mukuro had a disciple named Fran, who is one of the other three illusionists besides Mukuro who can trick their eyes, who tricked the Vendicare Guards and escaped with Mukuro. Mukuro was on his way back here when he was attacked by an unknown group. Oh, would you look at that my time is up. I'll charge you for making me stay any longer" Mammon said as his body began to change color and disappeared.
"Huh? Wait a sec! What do you mean-" Tsuna was asking when Reborn cut him short.
"Tsuna! Take a look at Chrome" Reborn ordered
"Huh?"
He turned to see Chrome's breathing getting heavier as she felt weaker.
"Chrome! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine boss… *huff* *huff*… It's just that Mukuro *huff* sama's illusions are weaker but he can *huff* still go on because *huff* he is no longer in restraints underwater *huff*"
"Don't over exert yourself Chrome! Here you can lie down on my bed" Tsuna told her
"But… That's Boss's bed…"
"But you have to rest"
"B-Boss…"
"Lie down please and then tell me what really happen when I bring the others over also"
"Y-yes Boss…"
"I'll go tell mom about you and tell her to make some food for you"
"Oi Dame-Tsuna! Go and get all your Guardians here as well they need to know what has happened" Reborn ordered.
"Uh… yeah, I got it" Tsuna said leaving the room.
" So this is what it feels like to be in a boys bed" thought Chrome as her cheeked flushed embarrassed at the prospect that her boss let her lie in his bed so easily.
"Chrome, was there any mark on Mukuro's body?"
"Uh… no… none on the body but… there were scratches and cuts on the ground which looked like 3 giant serpents from above…"
"Is that so?"
"Yes"
"And so it begins eh?" Reborn muttered in an undertone.
*~*~*Namimori Housing Area*~*~*
"EXTREME!!! EXTREME!!! EXTREME!!!" Ryohei ran around the block screaming his brains out doing his daily roadwork when he smashed face first into Tsuna.
"Uwaah! Onee-san! Please be more careful when you are running around!" Tsuan complained.
"Oh, Sawada! Hmm? You seem tired… AH! YOU HAVE FINALLY STARTED DOING EXTREME ROADWORK LIKE MEEE!!!" Ryohei screamed waking up the whole neighborhood.
"Onee-san! Please keep it down! And I am not doing road I was going to Gokudera's place to call together the… Oh yeah! Onee-san can you run over to my place we have a very important matter to discuss"
"Hmm? AH! Is it about those Varia dudes?"
"No! But something bad has happened in the mafia… we need you over there as well"
"YOSH!!! I WILL RUN TO TSUNA'S PLACE!!! TO THE EXTREME!!! YAAAH!!!" screamed Ryohei, running of in the direction of Tsuna's house.
Well that's one down… he thought but was not going to be the end of it.
"Hey! Where the hell are you boxing freak? Stop making such a ruckus in my neighborhood! Get the hell-" said Gokudera as he came running in Tsuna's direction to ward off Ryohei.
"Oh Judaime! How nice to see you? Anything I can help you with?" asked Gokudera visibly happy as Tsuna's presence.
"Ah. Gokudera-kun, I was just looking for you. Can you head over to my house? Something bad happened in the mafia… Mukuro has been defeated..."
"Huh? Something bad? Mukuro… You know his name was all over the papers of Italy calling him the 'Illusionist of Double Presence' and Vongola's Tenth Generation Mist Guardian… Because he took place in the Ring Conflict and was present in the prison at the same time… he could have been targeted by a rival family…" Gokudera thought of the possible situations.
"Umm… Yeah but you should still head for my house… Chrome will tell us everything that has happened so far…"
"Okay Judaime"
Make it two down…Hmmm… Hibari-san would be closest from here now…
*~*~* Namimori Middle *~*~*
"Man… Gokudera-kun's house was too far away… People have started to come to school as well…" Tsuna whined as he drowsily reached the gates of Namimori Middle.
"Hey Tsuna!" Yamamoto greeted him as he walked up with his back pack and sword carrier on his shoulder.
"Ah Yamamoto just the person I was looking for. Something bad happened with the mafia and we need your help so…"
"You mean in the mafia game? Oh sure of course I'll join! That game is so fun!"
"Ah and can you come with me? We have to get Hibari-san also…"
"Ahahahaha! Yeah I know how much of an ass he can be!" Yamamoto laughed it off like it was nothing.
After that Tsuna and Yamamoto headed for the prefect room. Soon after knocking on the door Kyoya came out with a death glare in his eyes.
"Yo Hibari!" greeted Yamamoto.
"What do you herbivores want? If you piss me off, I'll bite you to death" Hibari stated.
"Hibari-san, please listen to us, Mukuro was defeated! We need you to come with us to learn who we are up against!" Tsuna informed him.
At those words Kyoya's demeanor changed from annoyance to anger. Kyoya was angry that someone had gotten to Mukuro before him. And that was more than enough reason for Kyoya to tolerate grouping together.
"Let's go herbivore" Kyoya stated turning around proudly as his coat flew behind him.
*~*~* Later at Sawada Residence*~*~*
"… And when Mukuro-sama reached Northern Italy he was attacked. I told Ken and Chikusa about this but they refused to let you people know. They went ahead and haven't yet returned. Mammon found me and told me that Mukuro-sama's body was found by Lanchia-san… He brought his body to Vongola IX and sent a letter for you as well boss… Here…" Chrome finished the story handing Tsuna a letter.
"And then Mammon brought me here on his boss's orders… Also his boss has a message for Boss… 'This time it is not an internal struggle… This time the Vongola act as one'… That's what Mr. Xanxus had to say…" Chrome finished.
"EH?! XANXUS?!" Tsuna was shocked to hear that Xanxus would say something like that.
"Well that sounds just like the Ninth's son…" Reborn commented.
"Well Judaime… Read the letter from Lanchia" Gokudera asked.
"Ah…Okay…Umm…
Dear Vongola X,
I have a very important message for you. Do not ever let go of the serpent ring I gave you. It is very vital for your survival that you do not let anyone from the Estraneo Familiga get their hands on it. The Guardian di Tempesta, Gokudera Hayato, should know what we are up against. Please ask him to tell you about the 'Tresagi-Vongola Decade War'. And tell him that the revenge of Baldassare is upon us. Please do not worry about me. The strongest hitman of Northern Italy will survive.
Goodbye,
Lanchia.
..." finishing, Tsuna looked around the room everyone looked calm except for Gokudera, whose color had drained from the face. He seemed as if he had seen a ghost and all he could do was mutter something that piqued the interest of Hibari, scared the wits of Tsuna and made Yamamoto and Ryohei more serious than they had ever been in their entire lives…
"If what he says is true… Then the Vongola… have no future…"

Oooh… Cliffhangar!!! I am so evil….
