Chapter 28: Finally!

2 days ago in Italy H.Q. Vongola Nono and Decimo…

"Ciao Vongola Nono," greeted the brunette with full respect.

"Ciao Tsunayoshi," the Ninth greeted back as he saw his heir. "I was told that you wanted to see ma?"

"I have a request actually if you don't mind…" the brunette told him.

"And what would that request possibly be?"

"I was planning to ask you if I could take a time-out for a while by myself.."

"Hm? Time-out?"

"Yes. I want to venture some places before I get stuck here for doing paperwork business."

"Hahaha!" the Ninth laughed. "I know that feeling. But why by yourself? Wouldn't it be more fun if you brought your guardians along?"

"I would but I can't," the brunette said with a determined expression. "I want to do this alone. So I could feel what a normal person would feel when he goes from one place to another by himself."

"I see...Are you sure? I mean, there's been a lot of enemy roaming around lately and I don't want my only heir to-"

"I'll be fine," Tsuna butted in. "I was trained properly with various teachers in random laces after all. Reborn's guidance was hectic. E taught me that I can't protect others without being able to protect myself."

"And he said that you're strong enough to venture on your own?"

"He said that I' able to protect others."

Silence covered the room. Timoteo doubted himself if he should agree with this. Yet he doesn't want his heir to feel caged in this place forever. So he finally made a decision but before that he has yet to ask the brunette.

"I see…And where exactly do you plan on going?"

"I plan to go to different countries, meet a lot of people and maybe even make alliances."

"Yes…that is true…a marvelous idea. But which countries specifically?"

"I can't say."

"You can't or won't? Is it because I might assign someone to an eye on you?"

"If you mean too stalk me then yes. So I hope you understand and would give me your permission."

"Sigh…Alright. I don't see why not. May you be safe n your travels."

"Thank you Ninth. Ja, I shall take my leave."

After their conversation, the brunette left the office and saw his guardians patiently and curiously waiting for him. He now has the Ninth's approval and he'll be leaving the following day during dusk. He can't wait to get there!

Day of escape…Dusk…Tsuna's P.O.V

'Alright! It's only 2 in the morning and nobody but the guards should be up! Hopefully the mist barrier's off like I planned…' I thought as I jumped out of bed and took my prepared backpack. I checked the inside just to make sure.

Passport. Check!

Report Card. Check!

Money. Check!

Extra clothes. Check!

Vongola Ring with Mammon chain. Check!

Gloves. Check!

Pills. Check!

Okay! Everything's here!

(Airport…2:15 am…)

"What ticket would you like to have sir?" inquired a young woman with sleek black hair.

"Tickets to Hong Kong, America, Philippines and Canada please," the young Decimo answered with a cool aura.

"Right away sir. Tourist?"

"Yes. A break actually."

"I understand how you feel…" the woman said then handed back the dark green passport. "Here you go sir and have a nice trip!"

"Thank you," Tsuna smiled at the woman. "These tickets are on credit right? Could I buy another ticket by cask?"

The woman looked confused for a moment, "Yes. Yes you can. But I don't really get it why you want another ticket by cash…But oh well. Where would you like to go?"

Tsuna smirked, "I would like a ticket to…"

Vongola H.Q….Italy…5 am

"Oi! Dame-Tsuna! Get up alrea-!" The arcobaleno did his usual routine.

Enter his dame-student's room, open the window, and whack him up. But to his surprise, the brunette was no longer lying on his bed. The hitman walked away thinking that his student must've been awake earlier than usual and is already at the dining room.

But when he entered the said room, he saw no lock of brown gravity-defying-hair.

"Ciao, Rebron-san!" Riane greeted then looked back at the door as if expecting something. "Where's boos?" Reborn tilted his fedora hat, "He wasn't in his room when I entered. And it seems to me like he hadn't been here either…"

The guardians scattered and search for their Decimo every possible places. His study room, the library, his office, his quarters (room), the garden, the rooftop, the balconies, the training area, the forest, etc. After over 3 hours of non-stop searching, they met back at the dining room but was saddened when they learned that nobody had found him yet.

"Search the forest and the cities if you have to. Get Tsuna back," Reborn ordered them with a firm voice. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, turned to him and bowed respectfully then disappeared just like that. They knew what the hitman was thinking. If a day passes or more and they haven't found Decimo, they'll need to tell the Ninth to be able to dispatch groups of search teams.

All they pray and hope is that their precious friend is safe and sound. And hopefully not kidnapped and tortured by an enemy Famiglia.

Namimori…

After thinking all night long there was no question about it…They were determined to find out what the diamond does.

Gokudera, after being told that he would be tutored by an arcobaleno and NOT the perverted doctor named Shamal, made him extremely happy. Besides, he was getting sick with the way the so called 'Doctor' was teaching. Using the terms "girls", "skirts", "love" and many more made him want to puke.

Yamamoto, in the meantime, is still his cheerful usual self. He was really looking forward with his training with the Varia's swordsman. Sure he trained with the man in the future, but he still felt that there was still something the man hadn't taught him yet. And because of this, he was growing excited on meeting the Shark.

Chrome was fine with the arrangement of who her tutor was going to be. She knew Mammon but she haven't exactly met the other illusionist of the Varia Famiglia. She saw him for a short while during her surprise journey to the future (the time the Vongola faced Byakuran). And all she knew is that he has green hair, a frog hat, a monotone voice and expression and was Mukuro Rokudo's student. Never the less, she didn't mind at all. She knew she could trust them on training her properly.

Kyoya, who was just informed by Lal about the training with the string and new Cloud guardian, was already itching to fight the lad. So he did nothing that day but polish his tonfas and nap at the rooftop. Yes. 'LAD'. The arcobaleno never said that the cloud's trainer was not a lad but a woman. She thought that telling the skylark would lessen his interest in the training in the future.

Ryohei was excited himself. Everyone saw that but didn't know why. All they thought was that their leader was going to another tournament. Oh how wrong they were. How could they tell the boxer was excited? Well, the boxer was punching the poor punching bag in high speed with an extreme grin on his face while shouting countless "EXTREME!".

And Lambo…well, Lambo was still Lambo. He didn't care about the training that would be given to him. He kept on playing and eating his sweets.

After school, everyone met at the rooftop of the school. And surprisingly, even the famous impatient and crowd hating skylark was there. "I have news," the storm arcobaleno plainly said.

"Good or bad kora!" Colonnello shouted.

"Can't say for sure. It's about Decimo."

At that instant, the guardians went havoc (except for Hibari Kyoya). "What happened to Juudaime?" the bomber shouted at the top of his lungs. "Was he extremely targeted already?" the boxer also shouted out loud.

Lal and Colonnello felt a headache coming. Stupid bastard Mammon wasn't there since he has to 'pick-up' the Varia. But thankfully, Lal managed to shut them up before the Cloud guardian snapped and make their faces deformed in irritation.

"Ahem…As I was saying, Decimo is currently missing. BUT!" Fong quickly added making no room for the others to comment. "BUT. According to Vongola Nono, Decimo talked to him about having a time-out by travelling to different countries alone."

"But wouldn't that be more dangerous?" Yamamoto questioned. True, Tsuna travelling alone would bring great advantage to their enemy…whoever they are… Fong nodded. "And?" Chrome asked gaining their attention. She looked at the Storm arcobaleno, "There's more isn't there…"

Everyone's attention turned back to the arcobaleno. "Yes. There is. Nice observation Chrome," Fong praised her for noticing which made her blush a little. Being praised always made her blush no matter who they are. "Apparently, Decimo didn't tell anybody of his destination. When he bought his tickets, I guess they were decoys. Do you know what that may mean?"

"You said Juudaime was strange when you last talked to him…"

"Tsuna went for a time-out to many countries…."

"But boss didn't tell anybody of his location…"

"I EXTREMELY DON'T GET IT!"

"Tsk. Herbivores don't get the message…" Kyoya finally spoke. The guardians looked at their Cloud and saw him with a smirk on his face. "I see you get what I'm pointing at Hibari Kyoya," Fong said with a soft smile. Lal and Colonnello sighed, "They are truly clueless…"

Hibari looked at his fellow guardians, "Herbivores… Sawada Tsunayoshi…It seems that he's planning to go to one place and one place only…"

Then they finally managed to grasp what the Cloud was thinking.

"D-Don't tell me Juudaime…"

"T-Tsuna's actually…"

"B-B-Boss…"

"EXTREME!"

Fong smiled, "that's right. Vongola Decimo's real objective is to go to Japan."

A/N:

I was able to find this chapter 28 in my USB but the others are forever lost. And for that, I am deeply sorry!
