Regrets... He'll Gain A Few

Leon made a pleased note in the back of his throat as Tsuna ran a finger down the lizards spine with a laugh. The chameleon was easy to please despite his obvious disgruntlement with his owner. And as for the problems Tsuna had recently...

"And Science-man takes the hit, followed by the cow child as Sword-san takes the lead after that sudden take down."

"Your right, Chrome. Commentating on them helping with the clean-up is fun."

The girl giggled as her counterpart was hit by a falling branch that Hibari had pried free from a window. While she had some sympathy for the others, she had to agree with Tsuna when they nearly took out the airport. Five minutes in Italy and already they were beginning the usual chaos that occurred when they gathered within a mile radius of each other. Chrome had to sigh at that reluctantly major part in their family and friends.

"Anyway, how is Namimori? Has he finally visited?" Tsuna asked. His face was blank as she remained silent, eyes unwavering as he watched Lambo trying to run after a dog that had grabbed his shoe.

"I'll take that as a no then. Anything else?"

"The last few months have been silent. Skylark-san and Mukuro believe that one of the famiglias we have seen in the last two years may have plans, but we set up a reliable defense against attacks and infiltration. Since most of the main council are out, Lawyer-san and Kyoko have been left in charge with Ginger man to help with any technical problems. Kusakabe-san would like me to assure you that everything will be fine for the next month."

She gave a short nod as she thought over the report. The brunette laughed, the tense air around him finally lessening as Chrome seemed to worry over topics she had missed.

"It's fine," he chuckled, "Though I have the feeling leaving Kurokawa-san in charge will scar everyone in the near future." The girl only nodded solemnly, the brunette laughing as she grimaced. While Hana Kurokawa was an unexpected ally, she was a great friend. Though the only ones she came close to being nice to was Tsuna and her best friend Kyoko. And when she faced someone she didn't like- namely everyone- she was downright terrifying.

Chrome turned back to watching the others as Tsuna indulged the chameleon clinging to his hand. And there was the other problem. "Bossu... isn't he... "

"Yes. This is Leon, who refuses to leave with his partner in the case that some lines just can't be crossed." A pale finger ran down the lizard's spine, Leon chirping in appreciation. "Though you have to admit, he's adorable!"

The female let the other gush over the little green monster in front of him. Honestly, she was a little creeped out by the reptile. And Gokudera had almost fainted last night when he saw those yellow eyes watching him. Like they were trying to suck out his soul...

Reborn was not sulking. No matter what Lal said, or what Colonello was able to snort out between laughs. Fon was sitting across from him with his apprentice, who was talking rapidly in Mandarin.

While eating dinner together had been Yuni's idea, they all usually came to Reborn's apartment. Why, the hitman could never figure out. It was more of a shrug it off kind of deal. Though the raven haired man wished it could have been any other night then the one where he had met that brunette. On that note though...

"Yuni, I thought you said he was a civilian."

"Hm? I never said that, Uncle Reborn. Gamma told you that."

He fixed a glare on the blond in question, who nearly took a step back as he paled. Never let it be said that Gamma had no guts. Considering even Colonello froze when Reborn growled out: "Then why was he able to cow half of Xanxus' Guardians while simultaneously scolding his group of friends who, apparently, took down the airport. Not counting how he was able to pin half the bill on Varia, while keeping Leon."

The last part was partially true. When the brunette had tried to hand the shapeshifter over, the chameleon had stuck to his arm like glue. So until he deemed Reborn had given him a reason to actually forgive him, Leon was sticking with Tsunayoshi.

Though it gave him an excuse to see that cheeky brunette again.

"Gamma doesn't know that Tsu-nii comes from Namimori" Yuni added thoughtfully. Fon glanced over as I-Pin abruptly turned with wide eyes. And when she started firing off in Japanese and Yuni replied just as fast, they were all lost.

Reborn turned an eye to Fon as they both came to the same conclusion quietly; Fon in a resigned frown and Reborn perking up in interest. "So he's from Namimori... "

Iemitsu Sawada had never felt more frustrated in his life. Nearly every agent he had sent to check on his family in the past few years had been rejected. Something about not meeting safety standards or rules. But his tiny tuna-fish and lovely wife had not called or anything!

"Iemitsu, how long would it take to file the right documents to enter the Sanctuary?" the Ninth asked, and the blond switched back to his role as an advisor.

Famiglia before family.

"Half a year at most. Sending in a mafia tutor would raise suspicion and start a rise in attempts to invade the city. And if rumors got out that the heir to Vongola was in Sanctuary then arguments will arise from famiglias about favoritism amongst the Sanctuary board members."

The Sanctuary was the one place an ex-mafioso could retire to and live the rest of their lives carefree. Where the heir to a mafia family could live their childhood without a target on their back. It was a place that was golden in the dark life of the underworld, where the weak died and betrayal was common.

It had been a decade since it was established; assassins and yakuza suddenly kicked out and a virtually impenetrable wall surrounding the town. Rules on who was allowed access were placed and sent out to mafiosos everywhere. Background checks, applications for a registered stay or a permanent dwelling were required and could take up to a year. If the situation was dire than the board in charge of the safe haven reviewed the case and declared their decision over the matter within the week.

The Sanctuary was a dream for any who sought a break from the mafia world. Not even Mafia Land could beat it's safety and security. The Sanctuary located in Namimori, Japan.

"If young Tsunayoshi is to inherit Vongola..." the mafia don sighed. The soft ring of Iemitsu's phone went off as the blond sat down and answered it, Nono muttering quietly until the external adviser leaped up and screamed "WHAT!?"

"Y-your son is i-in Italy, s-sir."

So... I'm a week late, and I'm sorry. I had summer homework, and I had to start searching for colleges... it's chaos. I've also worked on other stories and a few things for the KHR collab organized by incorrectkhrquotes on tumblr. So a bunch of stuff. Also saw Suicide Squad, but that's more of an inspiration binge I might go on.

So, chapters in the future are going to be a little longer. And only five more chapters. Now, I did say this was going to be short, so no complaints please. I might go back and edit, but doubt it. Tsuna will be bamf in the future and Timoteo will be proud and terrified at the same time. iemitsu will get his ass handed to him.

Also, thanks for the comments! That person who said I always leave it on a cliff hanger (you know who you are), no I don't! I just leave you wanting more.

Expect more chapters, Leave more comments, Ciao~!
