Cristoforo was unhappy about the incident yesterday. Word has it that his men, a hundred to be precise, was taken down by only three people. Not only that, to humiliate the Eskebanza Family further, said people were children. Cristoforo scoffed at it at first but then he had gotten information that these children were extraordinarily strong for their age and the most interesting thing about them was that they look exactly alike with Vongola Primo's family. Now that caught his attention. As far as he knows no other family had known about this... yet. He poured wine to his glass and gulped it all down. Licking his lips he scowled darkly. Now what can he do to eliminate those pesky brats?

As if his question was answered, somebody knocked softly against the door. A skinny man opened it and bowed repectively.

"Boss, he's here." Ah yes... hopefully they would do something better than terrorize villages and towns. A man, covered with black all over complete with a black hat to cover his face and a worn out cloak, stepped inside the room with a breifcase in hand. The skinny man made one more bow before leaving them to their privacy.

Cristoforo tapped his fingers together. "Well what is it? Another suicide mission for my men to bait themselves against the Vongola? Cant you give something better than that?" he said. The Eskebanza family had enough of these! The man took off his hat and revealed blood-shot eyes staring at him. Cristoforo slightly flinched under his gaze but did not waver. "Actually, we do have something else to have you to do." the man said, his voice deep but hoarse, as if he hadn't talked for a long time and his voice box had actually rusted.

The boss' eyes narrowed curiously. "And what would that be?"

The man smiled and showed perfectly white teeth, no cavities, no nothing. Opening the breifcase he took out some papers and scattered them all over the desk. Cristoforo stared at him suspiciously before leaning forward to see the photos that were with the personal information. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"These are..." he stuttered. These were those brats that were described in the report, the ones who humiliated his family.

"Interested?"

"What do you need them for?"

The man snorted, as if it was the most stupidest thing to ask. "You know why... just keep those pesky Vongola guardians at bay."

Cristoforo looked directly at Tsuna's black and white picture and crumpled it. "Deadline?"

"Three weeks time."

~ Two weeks afterwards, Vongola Famiglia ~

Tsuna and the others had finally settled down but it was already their second week and no lead. Nothing... and because of that they had grown restless. Gokudera kept going in and out of the library, hoping to find something useful for their search. Problem was... they didn't even know who the arcobaleno are and Tsuna wanted to avoid asking Pri-er... Dad. Mukuro offered once to try and hypnotize him but Tsuna knew that woudn't work... besides, being kids, Mukuro could almost get away with anything. Most of them spent their days in the library, or in the servants quarters, hoping to find what they were looking for.

This didn't go unnoticed though.

The guardians were finished with their meeting and were preparing to leave until Lampo had brought up that Lambo keeps following him around. At first they thought that the kid was admiring Lampo but the way Lambo kept following him with a bored look told otherwise... then they started to notice that all of them were being followed, save Alaude and Deamon. Whenever Giotto was being followed by Tsuna who would always have this guilty look on his face, as if he was scared to say something.
