Mukuro stayed out of sight letting the others deal with those who attacked them. He was just here to find Kyoya and help if needed. He saw Takeshi beat Ken, Tsuna beat someone named Lanica, Bianchi beat M.M., while Tsuna, I-Pin, and Shamal beat three he'd never seen before. Mukuro narrowed his eyes, he was curious as to how his three 'friends', if he even should call them that, came up with this plan. Chikusa attacked Hayato, and the others went ahead to find the mastermind behind all this. Mukuro appeared walking next to Tsuna making the brunet flinch in surprise.

"Something isn't right here Tsuna," Mukuro said sticking his hands into his pants pockets.

Tsuna nodded in agreement. "I know, but I can't tell what."

Reborn was quiet as he listened to the two talk. Mukuro was right, something wasn't adding up. Lanica had been under someone's control and even though he said he was being controlled by Mukuro, the illusionist had never even met the man before, nor had he met Birds or the twins. Mukuro thought for a moment.

"Could it be someone impersonating me since I disappeared from the mafia's eye ten years ago..." Mukuro mumbled in thought. Tsuna looked at Mukuro in surprise along with Bianchi.

"Is that even possible?" Tsuna asked nervously. Bianchi thought, putting a hand to her chin.

"It could be possible since the mafia only knew Mukuro was a powerful illusionist not what he looks like or what his true abilities are," Bianchi said. Reborn nodded his agreement. Tsuna gulped, now rather scared.

"Kufufufu, whoever this imposter is they are aren't a match for me," Mukuro smirked dangerously. Tsuna nodded lightly.

"Though maybe you should catch them off guard," Tsuna suggested. Mukuro looked around the theater they had walked into.

"A bit too late for that statement Tsuna," Reborn stated shaking his head. Mukuro narrowed his eyes a bit, his trident appearing in his hand.

"The fake isn't here," Mukuro stated. Bianchi stated by the door. Tsuna turned so his back was to Mukuro looking around. Reborn narrowed his eyes while looking around, staying by Bianchi.

"Not physically," a voice around them mused. Mukuro narrowed his eyes. Illusions erupted around them. Mukuro smirked while Tsuna yelped, jumping.

"Such a weak illusion for someone trying to impersonate someone stronger," Mukuro said tapping his trident on the ground causing the columns of fire to explode in sakura blossoms. Tsuna looked around for a moment before focusing on one spot on the stage where a couch was. Mukuro noticed and smirked.

"What! How is that possible! No one has been able to best my illusions!" The voice echoed from the couch. Before Mukuro or Tsuna could make a move, a controlled Ken and Chikusa entered the room. Mukuro saw them a tisked.

"Tsuna, you take care of the imposter. I'll buy you time," Mukuro stated. Tsuna nodded and they split. Mukuro went to distract Ken and Chikusa while Tsuna took care of the leader. During the fighting, the top of Mukuro's trident got separated from his staff and stuck into the wall. Mukuro tisked a bit but still easily distracted the two. Tsuna was shot by Reborn when Leon produced gloves and a bullet and he began to take care of the leader.

Mukuro knocked the two out just as Tsuna finished off the leader. Mukuro huffed and went to retrieve the trident part of his staff. Tsuna panted as he left the hyper mode. Mukuro had just wrenched the metal trident out of the wall when he was suddenly wrapped up in chains and harshly thrown to the floor.

"Oh no..." Mukuro mumbled struggling. Tsuna looked over and saw the Vindice standing above Mukuro.

"What- what are you doing let him go," Tsuna said. Jager said nothing and began walking back through the portal dragging Mukuro with him. Mukuro was a bit panicked his flames didn't work so he couldn't get out of the chains.

"Wait," Reborn said, making Jager stop. "He was helping his sky, therefore what has he done to be imprisoned?"

Jager looked back at Reborn. "He is responsible for killing two families and endangering the balance of the mafia."

"I've done nothing in the mafia for ten years!" Mukuro protested, struggling against the chains that held him. Jager looked down at Mukuro before looking at Tsuna and Reborn.

"Is that true?" Jager asked.

Tsuna nodded quickly. "He's been living with me for ten years, he hasn't done anything."

Reborn nodded as well, having gotten confirmation from Nono. Jager looked back at the portal for a moment, when he looked back he freed Mukuro from the chains and took Ken, Chikusa, the leader through the portal. Mukuro stood quickly and moved over to Tsuna. Once the Vindice was gone it was the only time Mukuro moved away from Tsuna, quickly going over to Kyoya. The Vongola medical team was preparing to transport the injured to the hospital. Mukuro went with them because of both Tsuna and Kyoya. Luckily the two were put into the same room so Mukuro didn't have to split his time between the two. Nana was worried about Tsuna, but trusted Mukuro to look after him so she decided to wait for Tsuna to come home before nagging him to be more careful.

Mukuro waited for one of them to wake up since he was worried about the both of them. He though ended up falling asleep in the chair he sat in while he waited. Tsuna woke up first and noticed his brother sleeping in the chair. Tsuna smiles gently, he knew Mukuro hadn't been sleeping well recently with both the tournament coming up and Kyoya being missing the night wasn't long enough for him to get sleep. Tsuna looked over at Kyoya who was still asleep and shook his head silently. The two were good for each other, that much he could see. Tsuna sighed slightly looking at the ceiling boredly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the time everyone was out of the hospital things seemed to have calmed down activity wise. Mukuro for once was relaxing for the morning even though he had mist training that evening. He was about to close his eyes to see if he could contact that girl he had felt the night before when Tsuna screeched. Mukuro groaned and got up to see what happened. Opening the door to the brunet's room he saw Tsuna, Hayato, Takeshi, the annoying girl Haru, Kyoya, Reborn, and a body on Tsuna's bed.

"What in the six hells?" Mukuro mumbled looking around at the seven occupants in the room. Tsuna looked at Mukuro scared.

"Muku..." Tsuna almost whimpered. Mukuro walked into the room closing the door behind him and stood straighter.

"Well? Someone gonna answer?" Mukuro asked leaning against the door making sure no one could leave. The three younger teens looked at each other before looking at Tsuna. Kyoya grunted folding his arms. Tsuna gulped and looked at Reborn unsure how to respond to his brother's question. Pulling out his collapsible staff he poked the body narrowing his eyes. After a moment Mukuro put his staff away smirking.

"I see, well have fun with the corpse. At least it wasn't one of mine," Mukuro smiles before leaving the room. He heard Tsuna shout something causing him to chuckle. Tsuna was too easy to freak out despite training with Mukuro's demented illusions for four years piror to Reborn coming. Mukuro left the house telling Nana he would be back late. He wanted nothing to do with the situation Reborn put Tsuna in for 'training purposes'.
