Tsuna and Takeshi were about to get in the car when the former gasped.

"What's wrong, Tsuna?" Takeshi asked.

Nana looked at her son curiously from inside the car, she was still cradling Ciel who was still unconscious.

"Mother, Takeshi, can you two go back first? Something important to me fell off somewhere, I have to find it and it might take a long time, I need to retrace my steps" he said.

Nana and Takeshi shared a look before nodding, "Alright"

"Come back soon, Tsuna" Takeshi said.

Tsuna smiled reassuringly, "Un. I will. Reborn-san, please go with them"

There was a meaning behind those words, a silent request.

"Please go with mother and Takeshi, I know you're not what you are and can protect them while I'm gone"

Reborn said nothing, though, he did hop off from Tsuna's head and into the car.

He knew what the brunette was asking of him, though he did not know how, but Tsuna somehow knew they were in the mafia, he'll question the brunette about it later.

Tsuna nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Reborn-san"

"Follow us once you find what you are looking for, Tsu-kun" Nana said.

Tsuna nodded, "Yes, mother, I will."

The door to the limousine closed as said car drove off. Tsuna watched the car disappear before going back to the mansion, 'I can't believe I lost it!!' he thought.

Iekatsu headed towards where he had last seen his mother.

"Mother? Mother? Where are you? Mother?" He repeatedly called. He looked around and did not see the woman.

"That useless mother of yours already left!! I don't know what kind of power is backing you up but I swear, once I figure it out, I'll make you sleep deep inside you for eternity!!!" A voice in his mind yelled.

"My mother is not useless!! I don't know how you came into existence but my body is not yours to control!!" he shouted, clutching his head.

Something glinted right in front of him, "What?" He shakily walked towards the glinting object and picked it up.

It was a ring with a lion cub.

Tsuna frantically searched for his lost item.

He had searched everywhere, except for two certain places, he grimaced. One was the room where his father is in, the other is the hall where he met his brother.

Maybe......he should check the hall first?

With that in mind, he ran to the said place.

Timoteo, together with his guardians and Shamal walked into his office.

"It's hard to believe that Tsunayoshi has so much potential in such a young age" Brow Nie stated.

"I agree, I can see his eyes blazing with tamed power yet his face was so....calm and collected...did I mention that he looked very much like Primo?" Ganauche said.

"Yes you did, Ganauche, you always mention that for every hour!! Forget his face, I can practically feel the fierce and strong yet gentle and kind aura oozing out of his body!!" Shamal exclaimed.

Timoteo ignored Shamal and his Lightning guardian for a moment and turn to the others, "So, what did you find about young Tsunayoshi, Visconti?"

Visconti held up a few piece of papers, "Tsunayoshi Sawada, 10 years old, youngest son of Iemitsu Sawada and Nana Sawada, younger brother of Iekatsu Sawada, and older half brother of Ciel Sawada. He used to be an anti social kid, people called him dame and useless. Often bullied and had a record of being admitted to the hospital" he paused, letting the information sink in.

Ganauche and Shamal looked at him in disbelief, "That kind of kid being bullied? I find that hard to believe" Shamal stated, crossing his arms. Ganauche nodded in agreement.

Timoteo motioned for Visconti to continue.

"3 years ago, he was hit by a large truck, it is said that he died for a few minutes before miraculously returning back to lif-"

"What?! No way!!!"

"That kid died?!"

Both cried out in pain when they were hit in the head, courtesy of a pissed off storm guardian.

"Listen and let him talk, idiots" he growled.

Visconti ignored them and merely continued. "After coming back to life, he was kept in the hospital for a few days before he was released. His grades in school suddenly rose up in an outstanding level, he became the complete opposite of what he was once, people who knew him always speaks of highly of him with nothing but praises coming out of their mouths. At tha age of 9, he entered the National Practice Examination, where the smartest people from all over japan come to test their knowledge. The result....he came out on top" he paused again, continuing after a minute.

"Due to that outstanding feat, Tsunayoshi began to get recognized by the people of Japan. Sir Gemma's fascination of Japanese led him to invite Tsunayoshi in his party, hoping to meet him after being told about him be his Japanese friend. The rest was Coyote and Ganauche's report yesterday night, though, concerning the enemy mafiosis that were littered around the hall and hidden in the storage rooms, I had it investigated and found out that it was all Tsunayoshi's doing"

"See Coyote!! I told you I wasn't the one who beat all those me- wait, WHAT?!"

Ganauche gaped. 'So all of those mafiosis who maybe exceeded a hundred, were beat up by Tsunayoshi?!' He thought in both amazement and disbelief. His fellow guardians, including Timoteo and Shamal were also thinking the same.

Conclusion, Tsunayoshi Sawada was by no means, an ordinary kid.

Tsuna finally reached the hall, he came face to face with his suppose to be older brother.

Light brown eyes clashed with sunset orbs. There and then, Tsuna knew that this person was his real brother, he can feel it, and his HI was agreeing with him.

His eyes trailed off to his older brother's hand, 'Natsu!!'

Iekatsu didn't know what to say, this was his little brother, Tsunayoshi.

"Excuse me, that's my ring, can you please give it back"

It wasn't a request.

Iekatsu looked at the ring he's holding before taking a step towards Tsuna. Tsuna tensed at seeing him approaching, his eyes never leaving his own. Each step Iekatsu took seemed to quicken. In no time, the brothers were in front of each other.

Iekatsu reached for his little brother's hand and held him, he placed the ring on his palm.

Tsuna looked surprised, he smiled, "Thank you for returning it to me"

Before he could say something further, Iekatsu pulled him in a tight hug, a hug filled with hope, longing, and brotherly love. "I....I always wanted to see you...little brother" he whispered.

Tsuna's eyes were filled with an unknown emotion. That is until, orange flames erupted from both of their bodies, alarming Tsuna.

Their surroundings seemed to fade, and in a blink of an eye, Tsuna found himself surrounded by nothing but pitch black.

His eyes widen when the body of his older brother became that of a 5 years old and would have fall down had Tsuna not caught him fast enough.

"Hehehe~ so my inner brought his white and shining armor, hmm~"

Tsuna's eyes widen further when someone stepped out of the shadows, revealing an exact replica of his older brother, but seemed corrupted and darker.

Then it hit him.

This was the person his mother was facing earlier.

He narrowed his eyes and clutched his older brother, "Who are you and why are you inside the body of my brother?"

Dark Iekatsu chuckled, "I am....well....let's just say, I am the Iekatsu born in the darkness and greed of power...and I....am the Future decimo~"
