Summary: Not even five years after they've taken over the Vongola, Tsuna and his guardians have already made names for themselves in the world of the mafia. Little do everyone else know, their nicknames within their little group of friends are far different than the ones they've all come to know and fear. Drabble series. No pairings.

SkyGem: Well, a while ago I was thinking of how Tsuna's guardians all had nicknames for each other which were far from flattering…and I began to think of what their nicknames would be in the mafia world, and this is what came about…I hope you like, ne? Each drabble will be based on one of the guardians and what their nicknames are…so…yeah…

"Hey, Giuseppe! Where's the Tainted Saint? You said he was coming to the party, right?"

Seventeen-year-old Giuseppe looked down at his eleven-year-old brother with a slight frown on his face.

Looking back at his acquaintances, who where high school friends of his luckily enough, Giuseppe excused himself with a grimace, and they all laughed it off, understanding what younger siblings were like, since they themselves had younger brothers and sisters as well.

"How many times have I told you, Axel?" hissed Giuseppe in his younger brother's ear as the two walked away, "It's considered terribly offensive to use those kinds of names at a party like this. You are lucky that my friends were the only ones around to hear you."

The younger male just huffed and crossed his arms, saying, "I don't see what the big deal is! Everyone calls him that!"

"The big deal," replied Giuseppe in a quiet voice as he straightened out, "is that Father is holding this party as a way of renewing our alliance with the Famiglias present. It is a formal event, and we can't have you possibly offending our guests by not calling them by their proper titles!"

"Fine! Then where is Vongola Decimo?" amended Axel in a frustrated voice. "Lambo is always going on about how amazing his big brother is and how kind he is! I just want to see him for myself!"

Giuseppe just shook his head exasperation, replying with, "I don't even know how you managed to befriend the Vongola Don's lightning guardian. Anyways, he's right over there, the brown-haired one."

Giuseppe nodded in the Decimo's direction, but when Axel turned to look, all he saw was a very kind-looking young brunet, about twenty-years-old, with innocent brown eyes talking to a silver-haired man who had his back to Axel.

"That's him?" asked the eleven-year-old, "B-but! He doesn't even look like he could hurt a fly!"

"Which is why they called him the Tainted Saint," replied his brother in a quiet voice as they stopped several feet away. "Every single one of his subordinates absolutely adore him, and the Chiavarone Don sees him as a beloved younger brother. You ask any allied families about him, and they'll sing praises about him for hours if you'd let them. I've only talked to him once, but he has a certain charisma that you can't help but like about him."

As Axel watched the young Decimo laugh and talk with his companion, he found himself easily believing everything his brother was telling him.

"Why do they call him the Tainted Saint, though?" he asked, and Giuseppe let out a snort.

"He's a mafia boss, why do you think? He is fiercely protective of his Family members, and every single Family that has ever tried to injure any of his loved ones has disappeared over night. He doesn't usually resort to killing unless it's unavoidable, but he still does it."

Axel felt a shiver run down his spine as he tried to imagine the kind man in front of him actually killing someone, and suddenly, that smile didn't look quite so innocent anymore.

And then, as if feeling someone's eyes on him, the Vongola's gaze turned towards Axel and his brother, and the boy had a mini-heart-attack before the older male waved hello, a friendly smile on his face.

It looked as if he would come over, but before he could get out of his seat, a voice called out, "Oi! Dame-Tsuna! Get over here!"

The brunet looked back at the source of the voice before smiling apologetically at Axel and heading towards whoever had called for him. Axel looked at where he was heading, and it turned out that the caller had been none other than the Vongola Decimo's ex-tutor and closest advisor, the number one hitman in the world and ex-sun arcobaleno, Reborn.

Looking back up at his older brother, Axel asked him, "What does Dame mean?"

Giuseppe just shrugged in reply. "I heard Vongola Decimo is Japanese. It's probably a respectful way of addressing someone or something."
