"Wow, Tsuna!! You look great!!" Takeshi commented as soon as Tsuna went out the bathroom. Nana nodded in agreement.

Tsuna wore a black long-sleeve vest, along with a white collar, red plaid shorts, and knee high boots (A/n: Natsume's uniform in Gakuen alice). He smiled, "Thank you, you two look great as well".

It seems that Schnitten didn't come empty handed, apparently, Nono had requested Schnitten to give Tsuna, his outfit in gratitude for saving his best friend, Gemma. Of course, the gift included Nana, Takeshi, and Ciel as well.

Tsuna almost fell when someone tackled him from behind, "You look cool, big brother!!" Ciel exclaimed.

"Thank you, Ciel" Tsuna said.

Just then, Schnitten entered the room, "Everyone, shall we go?"

All nodded except for Ciel, Tsuna smiled and took Ciel's hand, "Come on, Ciel, time to go" he said. Ciel made an 'o' face before nodding.

With that, all of them left the room.

Vongola Mansion:

"Oh, Shamal! Glad you could come, come in, come in" Timoteo greeted cheerfully. Shamal stared at the Ninth warily. "R-right....thank you, Nono, I hope you don't mind that I brought Hayato along with me"

Timoteo blinked before looking down at Hayato who stared back at him, "I don't mind at all, Welcome to the Vongola Mansion, young Hayato", Hayato bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Nono"

Timoteo waved a hand, "There's no need to be so formal you know, call me grandpa"

Hayato shook his head rapidly, "No, such a man like you deserves to be called respectfully" Hayato said firmly.

Timoteo and Shamal sweat dropped, "Anyhow, you two can come in first"

Shamal and Hayato followed Timoteo inside until they reached his office, Timoteo turned to Hayato, "Hayato, why don't you go play in the gardens while we talk, you can ask the maids for anything you need"

"Yes sir!" Hayato saluted before running off.

"Such a lively child, don't you think so, Shamal?" Timoteo asked. Shamal mentally cried, "You have no idea"

"Soooo..." Shamal began, face looking serious. "Is there a reason you called me back here and greet me yourself, Nono?" He asked.

"As a matter of fact, there is, let's go discuss it inside my office" Timoteo said as he entered his office room with Shamal in tow.

"Sir, we are here" the driver announced. Schnitten nodded as someone opened the door for them. He stepped out of the car, followed by Nana, Takeshi, Ciel, then Tsuna.

"Ahahaha! That was fast, wasn't it, Tsuna" Takeshi exclaimed.

"Hai, it was, Takeshi" Tsuna replied. He gazed at Ciel who was gripping his vest tightly, he is shaking, as if he is afraid.....which he is. "Now, now, Ciel, don't worry, I'll protect you" he said. Trusting his brother, Ciel let go of Tsuna.

Schnitten's eyes never left the two brothers, 'A splendid older brother, not like Iekatsu' he thought, remembering the times he saw Iekatsu hit Ciel for minor reasons or without any reason at all.

"Waaaaahhh~!! Such a magnificent house~!!" Nana exclaimed in awe. Takeshi nodded in agreement, "It's bigger than the biggest baseball field I had ever seen" he exclaimed.

Schnitten laughed, "It is, isn't it, come on, let's go inside"

Nana walked towards Tsuna and Ciel, Tsuna raised a brow when her mother held Ciel's hand gently, "Come on, Ciel-kun, we're going to explore~!!" she chirped as she dragged the confused boy in the mansion.

"Wow, Tsuna! Maman really likes Ciel, doesn't she" Takeshi commented.

A smile crept up Tsuna's face, "She does, Let's go, Takeshi, before Ciel panics, after all, he didn't understand a word mother said earlier"

Takeshi laughed as he and Tsuna ran off to catch up with the two.

Schnitten blinked then smiled, "Aren't they excited" he said. He hummed as he walked towards the mansion.

The door opened to a particular room as Timoteo and Shamal entered.

The two figures that were once sitting on each side of the bed stood up, "Good day, Nono" they said in unison.

Timoteo smiled as he waved a dismissing hand, "How's Iemitsu?" he asked.

"He is fine, Nono, his injuries aren't all that serious, he just fainted from blood loss" Turmeric said.

"I see, can you please leave us alone for a while?"

"As you wish, Nono" both responded before leaving.

Shamal stared at the sleeping figure of Iemitsu, "So, Iemitsu's 10 year old son, did this to him?" He asked, seeing all the bandages wrapping Iemitsu like a mummy.

Timoteo nodded, "Even I find it hard to believe, but Coyote, Ganauche, and Lal witnessed it themselves, my HI, though not as strong as Primo's, told me they were saying the truth"

"I have no doubt about your HI, Nono, but based on what you told me, a 10 year old beating the crap out of a grown up man, which is the CEDEF boss himself, a large number of mafiosi and their boss is truly hard to believe, are you sure they aren't exaggerating? And besides, Iemitsu's injuries as Turmeric and Oregano said, aren't serious" Shamal reasoned.

"Shamal, believe me, Coyote and Lal would hardly praise someone of their skills, do you truly believe they would exaggerate about something like this? Also, they told me that even though Tsunayoshi showed his strength, he wasn't going all out"

Shamal frowned, deep in thought, "I guess not" he said. "Pardon me, I am not saying I believe this, Nono, I will only believe it if I see it myself, I would like to do a check up on him, if that's alright"

Timoteo smiled, "You know Tsunayoshi is not a girl right? I'm surprised you would want to do a check up on him when he is a boy"

Shamal shrugged, "Well, as much as I like girls, this boy managed to peak my interest"

"I see, I already sent Schnitten to get him, you are allowed to do a check up on him if he agrees, if not, don't force him and just leave him alone"

Shamal nodded in understanding.

Their talk was cut short when there was a knock on the door. "Come in" Timoteo called.

A butler opened the door and bowed, "Nono, Master Schnitten has arrived with the guests and is waiting in the living room"

"Thank you, Sebas, you may go"

Sebas bowed as he closed the door. Timoteo turned to Shamal, "Shall we go?"
Shamal nodded as the two left the room. On the way, Timoteo thanked and told Turmeric and Oregano that they could go back to Iemitsu's room.

A black limousine stopped in front of he Vongola Mansion. The door opened and a small figure stepped out. He is wearing a black fedora with thick orange stripe running across the side of the cone. Hidden under his fedora is his black hair, only his curly sideburns could be seen. He wears an all-black suit with black boots and a red long sleeved shirt with a blue necktie underneath. A yellow pacifier hang on his shirt. On the brim of his hat is a green chameleon .

"Now, Leon, Let's go see this kid Nono wants us to meet" he said, his black charcoal eyes glinting in mischievousness.

His pet Chameleon merely flicked its tongue.
