When the waves washed over Tsuna, the darkness over a took him seeing complete darkness at first then a minute later, the bright light overcame. Tsuna winced his eyes before opening them slowly to see Nosaru and Bluebell looking down on him with worried eyes.

"N-nosaru, Bluebell wha...."As Tsuna was about to lean up, the two teens throw themselves at him, wrapping their arms around his neck for a tight hug. "We saw and heard what happened but don't you ever do that to us again, You almost died!" Bluebell said with an angry tone, nuzzling against his neck with tears forming her eyes were forming.

"Yeah, how would kyouta- chan, Reborn-san, and everyone feels if you passed away from drowning" Nosaru added with an also angry tone and teary eyes forming.

Tsuna looked at the two as he remembered what happened to him. He remembered helping the little girl's ball back to her from then he got swallowed up by the waves.

Tsuna sighs with a sad smile, putting two hands on the back of two teens' heads. "I'm sorry. I am so sorry that I gave the two of you a scare when I got washed up" He deeply apologize, starting to caress the head softly. "It won't happen like this again. I promise"

Tsuna is really sorry, he made someone worried about him almost dying again. The last time, he made someone worried when he was with his ex-friends/guardians.

"Oh, thank goodness, your awake." The sound of the female voice said in a relief tone as the three turned their heads to the mix of orange and gray short hair old woman, holding a mug.

"Are you hurt or nauseous?" She worriedly said, walking towards them and handing over to Tsuna the mug to him. The ex-vongola boss smiled as he kindly took the mug from the woman.

"To be honest, I'm ok! No injuries what's so ever...I guess" Tsuna said, not feeling pain or injuries inside his body. "That's good, the waves didn't give a hard hit for a young man like you" The old kind woman chuckled as she walks towards them before giving the "Its hot cocoa, so be careful its hot" The kind old woman warned with a soft smile as tsuna nodded at her, smiling back at her then received the mug of hot cocoa.

"Thank you" Tsuna said before looking around a room a bit that he was sitting in. "So Mrs where are we?" He asked, blowing on off the steam from the mug before careful drinking the warm yet hot delicious hot cocoa.

"Well young man, you're in my office at the Terracina HQ since the resting room is full at the moment, and please don't call me Mrs.call my Fina, I am the Lifeguard captain of this whole place" The Fina said with a slightly embarrassing smile as she waves her hand up and down at him.

"Mrs. Fina is the reason you're still alive...she saves your life, Tsuna-San" Nosaru explained to him as Fina widened her eyes a bit.
"Tsuna? That name...Wait don't tell me!" Fina thought in surprise.

Tsuna looked at Fina. "Thank you for saving me back there, Fina" He thankfully said with a grateful smile. Fina smiling back at him. "You're welcome...Tsuna right" Tsuna nodded.

"Alright...now tell me tsuna, Are you the Sawada Tsunayoshi, the ex tenth boss of Familigia" Fina curiously asked causing Tsuna, bluebell, and Nosaru to widened their eyes in shock. In an instinct, the two mafia teens protectively stand in front of tsuna before flaring up their mafia rings at the same took out their weapon boxes.

When they quickly smashed, they took out their weapons were brought out. Nosaru was holding his Dark scythe and Bluebell was levitating her causing.

"Hieee" Tsuna squealed in shock at the same time worried that two teens might hurt the woman, who saved him from drowning and knows about him being the ex-mob boss.

Fina step back a bit without giving a shock or scared look like she has seen that before. "Hey calm down you two and put your weapons in the weapon box, I am not an assassin nor rival from either of your families," Fina calmly said

"How we know that your not lying or tricking us" Nosaru curious said, giving the woman a wary expression.

"What he said, not also that how do you know about Tsuna being the ex Mob boss and our weapon boxes" Bluebell curiously added with a protective aura surrounding her.

"Well dear bluebell and nosaru, because my dear old friend the ninth, Timoteo is the one who told me about that his ex-successor's situation..." Fina pinpointed at tsuna a bit. "As well as informing me about these box weapons that within the mafia are starting to use, of course" She informed causing the three to be shocked.

"Wait, You know the ninth!" Tsuna curiously asked with a surprising tone. "Si" Fina replied with a smile causing Nosaru to put his Dark scythe slightly at the same time, bluebell's seashells were still levitating.

"What do you think, Tsuna-San? Should we trust her?" Nosaru asked as he and bluebell looked at Tsuna with a serious look. Tsuna looked at the two young teens before looking at Fina.

His hyper intuition didn't give any warning or malice from her ever since they first met but even with it Tsuna can tell that Fina is telling the truth about having connections with the old man. Tsuna looked back at the two and nodded.

"We should..." He assuredly said. "I don't sense malice or murder intention towards me and besides Mrs. Fina here, the who saved me from drowning. So please you two put your weapons back in" He kindly ordered them with a serious yet warm look that he gave.

Nosaru and Bluebell looked slightly hesitant but if what tsuna is true, they will trust this woman, who claims to be friends with the old man. "If you say so tsuna" Bluebell mumbled with a pout as the black scythe and seashells vanished.

Tsuna sighs in relief when the flame weapons went back inside their respective boxes. "Thank you" He said, seeing the teens sat on their chairs. Tsuna puts his hot Cocoa on the side table and moved his body to the edge of the bed that he used to lay on before looking at Fina with an apologetic look.

"I am sorry that you were threatened by these two, i hope you can forgive them" Tsuna said, bowing his head as he puts his both hands on Nosaru and bluebell's head to make them bow a bit and apologize to the Lifeguard captain. "Say sorry to her" He whispered to the both of them.

"We're sorry, Fina/What he said" Nosaru and bluebell apologetically. Fina swayed her hands a bit at them. "No no! No need to apologize." she assuredly said.

"I understand that you two were protecting the ex-boss and besides this is not the first time that I got threatened" Fina chuckled, remembering about the past as Tsuna, bluebell, and Nosaru sweatdrop.

"R-really then I was wondering what is your relationship with the old man" Bluebell curiously asked as Tsuna was getting slight hot cocoa from the side table and began to drink it. Fina looks at her before she smiled.

"Well Timeteo used to be my boyfriend," Fina answered causing to tsuna spits out his drink hard at the same time nosaru and bluebell jaw shocked.

"WHAT!"

===================================================
Meanwhile somewhere in retirement

"Achoo!"

"Are you alright, Boss!"

Timoteo looked at his worried storm flame guardian, coyote, who is handing over a handkerchief as they were standing on the hallways.

"Oh good, heaven's I'm Ok, Coyote..." Timotoe kindly gets the handkerchief to wipe his nose. "Probably someone was thinking about me" He said with a chuckle before sneezing two more times causing the 9th storm guardian to be concerned.

"No Your not, I think you have that flu-like your son and his guardians have! Come on, let's see the doctor so he could have a check-up on you!" Coyote said with a serious tone before softly grabbing Timoteo, wrist.

While they were marching to their vongola mafia doctor, people who were there working, looked at the previous vongola boss Timoteo repeatedly saying that he's fine and he is not sick.

===================================================

Back to Sperlonga lifeguard HQ, Tsuna, Bluebell and Nosaru were Speechless, fina looked at them with a still smile until she heard a familiar loud cough sound. The four heads turned to the same female lifeguard with light brown hair with a strip of blond color

"Honestly Aunt Fin tell them the truth or they might be confusingly and asked questions about this so-called past "romantic relationship" that you have with the ninth" Carola said, crossing her arms against her breast as softly glared at her aunt.

"Awe you ruined my fun" Fina said, playfully pouted her niece. Carola softly smiled, rolling her eyes as the three widened their eyes in shock again.

"Wait, fina is your Aunt" Tsuna said curiously in a surprised tone. Carola nodded with an embarrassing smile. "Yes she is and I am sorry that my aunt slightly white lied to the three of you about her having an intimate relationship with the Previous boss, it is kind of a habit whenever vongola subordinates came to visit sometimes" Carola apologized.

"Wait wait, so you lied about having an intimate relationship with the old man!" Bluebell asked with an exclaimed tone as he pinpointed Fina, who scratched her cheek softly with her index finger while she smiled.

"Yeah, it was a bit of fun for me..." Fina said with a chuckle as the three sweatdropped as Carola sighs at her aunt's joking habits. "..but in all honesty, my relationship with the previous mob boss, we're good old friends that's all" She added with a serious tone.

Tsuna understandably nodded at the woman. "I guess since you and Timo-Jiji are friends, I am guessing you also used to work for...." FIna halts him before swaying her head.

"No no, I never worked for the vongola family ever since I was born..." Fina honestly said. "however the who worked for Ottavo and Nono was my father since he was a child until he passed away, 24 years ago. That's how to know I knew him" She said with a slightly sad smile.

The three gave Fina sympathetic looked for her. "I am so sorry for the loss but I am glad that Timo-Jiji and your family relationship are still close and strong," Tsuna said with a warm and glad smile.

"Thank you" Fina replied as the aura surrounding in the room was warm and not hostile. Bluebell realize that she forgot to do something and took out her phone as she didn't notice a little female child come in talking to Carola which cause some of them to look at her. Tsuna knew it was the same crying girl who wants her ball back from the ocean.

"Mama, Is it alright if I come in, I want thank him" The little girl whispered, looking up at her mother, Carola. "Of course, Liv" Carol replied with a nod before seeing her daughter walked towards her tsuna.

"I-I am glad that you are alright and still kicking, I-I want to thank you for all that trouble to get m-my ball back" Liv said, shyly causing Tsuna to smile warmly at the girl.

"Your welcome...liv, its the least I can do for you...And thank you for the flower" Tsuna said with a still-warm smile, patting softly on the carola's daughter's head.

Liv smiled back slightly, before she could go back to mom, she slowly faced the two teens causing her to freeze like a deer in headlights. bluebell looked up at her from her phone and smile.

"Oh Hi, who are you" Bluebell cheerfully asked, slightly wave at her.

"Blue, that's liv, carola's daughter who told about us earlier that is a fan of us" Nosaru said with a small smile. Bluebell looked at nosaru with an "Oh really, I didn't hear because I was chatting with Kyo-Chan" look.

"OMG! OMG, Mikkusu-en No Hitman is here and knows me!" Carola's daughter thought, blushing red and freaking at.
