Mukuro's Familiar

Mukuro doesn't know why. For days one Sawada Tsunayoshi has been staring at him with a weird look between contemplative and... That Hitman's usual pokerface.
So to cut out short: The brunette, for once, made the Illusionist apprehensive towards the one he promised to take his body from.

What he didn't know or realise was that today was the 5th of June and 3 certain (and important) people had let something slip.
It would happen in 4 days where he'd find out the truth.
For the Mist, the one who makes lies true and truth into falsehood, who deceives and projects illusions upon his enemies with a playful trickery, is about to see how that works out on the other end of the bargain.

So he was doing his usual work that day as the Vongola 10th Gen (Male) Half-Mist Guardian:
Interrogating Enemies/Mafioso,
check his Security Barrier,
see if Nagi has any problems, avoid the other Guardians,
fight with the annoying skylark, destroy the mansion, get scolded by Tsunayoshi (scary) and get dragged to eat by the puppy storm.

Well, it was more like food times got announced by him over the entire mansion via speakers to reach everyone, meaning even the skylark whereever he currently roams/ patrols and him, who no one besides Nagi or Tsunayoshi could find without outside help and he has to attend them.

Only difference today:
They quietly looked at him from time to time, even the skylark with a less-dark stare while his dear Nagi squirmed in her seat next to him.

'Kufufu, Nagi, is something wrong?'

She jolted in her seat before blinking, looking at Mukuro.

'I-It's nothing, Mukuro-Sama.
I'd just eaten a bit of cake before with Hana, Kyoko and Haru so I'm not that hungry.'

'Kufufu, then that's fine. Eat only as much as you can. If not you can tell the Vongola.'

'Hai, Mukuro-Sama.!'

"Do you two want to share something?"

Mukuro looked up, towards the Head of the table where Tsunayoshi (his Sky) looked at him with a serene smile, obviously having noticed their quiet mental conversation. The other Guardians now looking at them as well.

"Kufufu no, do you?"

"Not at the moment." The rest also shook their heads, though Nagi commented on her earlier time with the sister's/ girlfriends of the others to which some discussions about best girlfriend started and who'd be the last to be single and without a lover.

Mukuro frowned, he wasn't interested in the discussion (unless they dragged Nagi into it).
He knew he was being left out of something. For once the skylark hadn't attempted to hit his face during their play fights -yes, it was playing!

Second, he's been as busy as ever since the week started and that's saying something since he and Nagi share the workload.
Lastly, the rest are nervous around him like when they first fought against him and then found out he was one of them, the Mist Guardian.

So he could only come to one possible reason for all this.
He's being lied to, after Tsunayoshi told him he'd never betray him and his friends. Liers.

It continued like that for the following days and Mukuro became progressively more on guard. Additionally, the Varia, Arcobaleno, Simon, Millefiore, Giglio Nero, Cavallone as well as Ken and Chikusa, who help out at CEDEF as communication between them, aka from him to Kyoya.

Something was up, but it didn't seem like a Mafia War was imminent. Ken, Chikusa and Nagi wouldn't betray him, that he knew.... And Tsunayoshi was still as clean as his flames were in regards to betrayal. His Flame bond also hadn't changed once but from the pure feeling of 'Home, comfort, family' it offered so he was almost certain he wouldn't be kicked out either.
