What came after Mukuro's statement was mix of confused yells, broken teapots and disbelieved stares. Of course Yamamoto and Gokudera didn't believe him, after all what they expected was a cute girl, who would change cruel King but they didn't understand that it was precisely this kind of person who could change things - strong, charismatic and optimistic.

Chrome and two hares trusted their leader, so they were just surprised a bit. They watched Dino standing there with confused smile, who was telling them he has no idea what are they shocked about, and were probably thinking if this was truly Alice. Well it made sense - Tsuna would figure it out eventually even without prophecy because the legend said Alice should be wearing blue dress and have golden hair. Technically the legend didn't lie - Alice was really as it described him, it was just that somehow everyone expected Alice to be girl.

"Mukuro-san, are you sure this is Alice? It's not like we're doubting you...it's just..." Chikusa didn't finish but it was clear what had on mind.

"Yeah! Did you really not misunderstand?" Ken moved his hands aggressively. Mukuro just smirked.

"Kufufufu, I didn't. When Shamal gave me his prophecy last time it clearly stated I shall meet Alice thanks to the rabbit's mistake." Hatter enjoining the whole scene, rested his head on his palm and started drinking tea.

"Why should we trust you, you pineapple head!?!" Gokudera shouted and felt really irritated from seeing Mukuro's smirk.

"Who are you calling 'pineapple' here?! Don't you even dare to call our leader like that!" Ken yelled angrily and stood right between him and Mukuro.

"I'll call your damn leader as I want!"

"Huuh?! You wanna beat up you stupid asshole?!!"

"Ma, ma. Calm down guys. Don't argue." Yamamoto tried to save the situation but failed terribly cause no one listened to him. Gokudera and Ken frowned and argued with each other, already preparing for fight, Mukuro was just smiling and didn't say anything, Chrome was standing there, probably wondering if she should stop Ken or not and Chikusa was watching Dino wondering about what has been said.

'Waaah! What should I do? If I try to stop them they will kill me, but if I don't do anything they will kill each other!' Tsuna stared at those two with panicked eyes. He knew he should stop them but he didn't have the guts to do it.

"Everyone just SHUP UP!" The loud authoritative voice was heard and completely froze them. It was as if time stopped and Tsuna looked at Dino, who stood there and stared at them. His eyes were hard as stones and his expression serious - this change from an easygoing guy to the man with powerful aura around him was so sudden and it made everyone just stare at him. He now looked so strong that it forced Gokudera and Ken stop. "Ok, please calm down and listen to me. I have no idea what are you talking about or where am I, but I want you to tell me everything so spit it out someone!"
