Second Life

If War is What They Want, Then War They Shall Get

The tea-cup in Kei's hand shattered into tiny pieces at what Romario had said.

"Excuse me?" Romario sweated at how Kei's eyes were shadowed by his bangs, the hand still clenching around the cup despite blood dripping down onto the table. He stopped himself from shivering at the dark aura the man was emitting. (Truly, Kei is the devil killer of their famiglia. Sakura may be a scary one, but Kei, if infuriated, hell fire doesn't even hold a candle against his fury. Sometimes, Romario wondered if Kei was to go against Reborn, would he win? Though, Kei is a pacifist of a kind, killing only when needed, only when ordered, and only when he felt really unjust.)

Romario pushed down the slight fear bubbling inside him. Fear for the pitiful ones, who dared to kidnap two of Cavallone's most treasured people. Well, one is, another will be. He coughed and repeated himself. "Boss pressed the SOS button. Our men didn't managed to get there in time; he was taken away. The tracker is still working, and still moving. And.." He hesitated for a split second. "Ryuuichi is with them as well."

Yuuichi panicked, stumbling up from his sitting position. He panicked because his brother and cousin were kidnapped. His precious brother. "T-then let's go get them back! What are you guys still waiting for!" Before Romario could say anything, Sakura was already there to stop her son.

"Yuu-kun, calm down." To hell with calm. Who the hell could be calm at this moment? His brother's life is at stake here. Yuuichi opened his mouth to retort, but snapped shut when he saw his mother's face. Grudgingly, he sat back down, leg jumping a mile per second.

Sakura was, unsurprisingly enraged, but despite the dark look on her face, her eyes was swirling with concern. She couldn't lose her composure no matter what now. She need to be their back bone when situation arise, need to be Kei's support as her husband do what he does, as always.

She went to the study room and took her laptop out, went back to the living room where Romario had explained the situation. Sitting between the man and Kei, she started it up and held her hand out. "Pendrive."

Romario handed her a small pendrive as Kei unclenched his hand, the pieces of ceramic falling down on the table. Kei lifted his head as his normally peaceful teal eyes were flashing in burning rage, simmering, looking very calm on the outside.

"Sakura, coordinates."

"Still moving. The signal is disrupted. Might lose it if they keep going."

Kei remain unfazed by that. "Any idea which bastard is the culprit?" Romario nodded. "Presumedly, the Famiglia boss should have met before we rushed here. The Stolto."

Kei nodded. "I'm presuming that the Don is here as well. If he is, at least 250 of his men is here. If not, I say a hundred. How many of ours is on land, ready to move out at any time?"

"50. Boss insisted that the rest get a week off back in our base." Kei nodded once again. This is bad. They haven't even plan anything, and they're already at disadvantage with the difference in amount of men on deck. They wouldn't survive this whole ordeal if they attack head on.

"Let's do with that amount." They turn their heads to the hallway, where a panting Tsuna and Reborn perched on the brunette's shoulder was. The hitman wasn't at his usual, a dark glint in his eyes. "Tsuna and his guardians are going to aid you. In another words, Vongola is lending you their hands."

Kei frowned. "This is Cavallone's problem. We can't drag Vongola in and trouble you guys."

Tsuna interjected, finally got his breathing steady. His eyes were narrowed, slightly orange rather than the usual brown. "Ryuuichi and Dino-san are our friend, our family as well. We will never leave them in trouble. They are ours." If anything, he sounded possessive there. Reborn merely smirked, approving.
