Amaryllis [KHR FANFIC]

The Meeting

Tsuna darted his eyes from word to word on the report paper. He couldn't believe the headquarters actually sent Verde, the lightning arcobaleno, as his tutor instead of sending the other arcobalenos. It's weird. I mean, why did they not send, let's say, Fon? That storm arcobaleno seemed like a good teacher. Why Verde?

Tsuna snapped out of his thoughts as soon as he heard a loud bang on his door which is now open. Tsuna turned around his chair only to see the lightning arcobaleno who was carrying some dangerous-looking inventions.

"Umm, what are those?" Tsuna got a bad feeling right after he saw them.

Verde didn't reply the Vongola and kept walking towards his desk. Tsuna backed away from the desk to watch Verde put all the stuffs he has been carrying on it. After a sigh of relief, Verde picked something up. It was a small jar filled with mysterious pills.

"Take one." Verde shoved the jar onto Tsuna's poor face.

"Wait! Hold on!" Tsuna caught the jar which was assaulting his adorable face. He took a moment to figure what it is, then turned his head towards Verde, demanding for an explanation.

Verde quickly understood him.

"You see, these are energy pills. Given the name, these pills will give you massive amount of energy." Verde pointed.

"So you want me to take one?" Tsuna raised an eyebrow.

"Yep." Verde nodded. Tsuna did not notice it but a smirk was hidden behind the greenette's cold lips.

Tsuna scratched the back of his head which was not even itchy. He titled the jar to observe it from different angles before putting it back down on his desk.

"As I thought. I can't do it after all, Verde. These are too suspicious for me to take." Tsuna sighed. There's no point in taking one of those pills after all. It's not like you need that much energy to do some pile of paperworks. Maybe some motivation pills would do the job instead.

Verde did not look pleased with how the brunette responded. Of course, such thing won't stop the mad scientist from keeping his head cool.

Verde observed the Vongola from the side of the room. The spiky-haired boy seemed to be focused on his paperworks. The view made him giggle, remembering the crybaby that 10th Vongola boss used to be.

"You sure have grown a lot since the first time I met you." Verde said.

"Hahaha," Tsuna laughed softly, his eyes still focused on his papers. "Have I really?"

Ring. Ring.

The expensive-looking telephone on Tsuna's desk vibrates along each ring. Tsuna sighed and put down his papers, hoping it's not one of those angry clients or threatening messages from the enemy families.

"Hello. This is Sawada-"

"Tsunayoshi-kun~" A familiar voice cut Tsuna's line. Tsuna's eyes widen in surprise.

"Byakuran?" Tsuna gasped.

"Yup~ The one and only."

Tsuna could hear noises of plastic wraps and soft chewing from the background. He believed Byakuran was eating his marshmellows as he was calling with him.

"That's rare for you to... you know, call me. Usually you'll just hack into our computer system and... do your stuff." Tsuna sighed. "What brings you to call me anyways?"

There was a slight moment of silence from the phone. Inaudible mumbles and weird noises could be heard from afar. Soon enough, Byakuran's voice returned.

"Nothing big. I'm just inviting you to a little tea party for us bosses. Enma and Yuni will also be there." Byakuran giggled.

"Enma and Yuni? Why so sudden?" Tsuna's face lightened. It's been quite a while since the last time he saw them.

"I would say for fun, but sadly it's something else." Byakuran's voice deepened, showing that he's being serious about something.

Tsuna gulped. He knew it was never a tea party that he was invited in. It must be a meeting with the allied family bosses. But what on earth happened? Why?

"I understand. Where will it be?" Tsuna asked.

Again, weird noises could be heard from the background. Just what is that Millefiore doing?

"Byakuran? Oi, Byakuran." Tsuna dropped a sweat.

Byakuran's voice returned. Tsuna could hear the noise he made as he adjust the phone to his ear.

"Ah, yes. You see. It's coming your way now." Byakuran grinned.

"What?"

Crash!

"Juudaime!" Gokudera came trashing in with someone. No. He came in strangling someone in his arms.

Verde backed away from the door. As he turned his head towards Tsuna, he saw the brunette already in battle stance. He coukd tell from the beautiful sky flames emitting from his head.

Who is that person? An enemy?

"Juudaime! I found this guy sneaking in the mansion!" Gokudera explained as he tried to pin the man in black down. He seems to be a fighter judging from the way he moves.

Tsuna observed the man for a few second before lowering his stance for a bit.

"Gokudera, let him go." Tsuna commanded.

"But-"

"It's okay. Let him go." He ordered for the second time.

"Tch."

Without further questions, Gokudera let the man out of his arms. With a serious glare, he's going to make sure that man is dead as soon as he did anything funny.

Tsuna sighed at the sight of the man catching air. He coughed up a little and collected his breath before facing towards the 10th boss.

"What do you want? If you're here to assassinate me like the others, make it quick. I got a mountain of paperworks to do." Tsuna sighed again, glancing on the papers on his desk.

The man in black looked worried for a split second but quickly responded with a nervous tone, "N-no, V-Vongola 10th! I-I'm here to pick you up! We're going to the Millefiore mansion!"

"Millefiore?" Tsuna took the phone he dropped before and placed it beside his ear.

"Surprise~" Byakuran's voice entered.

"What's the meaning of this, Byakuran?" Tsuna started to get headaches from the confusion.

"We are going now~" Byakuran answered cheerfully.
