AN: This one would not leave me alone till I knocked it out so I gave in and tried, getting it started how I wanted gave me a bit of a headache. However I think it turned out ok so without further ado enjoy!

Those of you of legal age to drink have you ever gone out on a bender, only to wake up the following morning with a raging headache and extremely disorientated? Yes? No? Maybe? Well those of you lucky enough to say no, all I will say is this we were the lucky ones as I was the same. The way I am feeling right this moment is equivalent to that, or a punch drunk boxer in the middle of a prize fight. I literally feel that bad with my eyes open and fleet of jackhammers for a brain, I attempt to sit up in what I belatedly realise is a bed and feel myself swaying badly. If I am this bad then something is wrong I sluggishly realise, deciding I need to stop the swaying I put my arms out behind me and lean back onto them. Shit who got the number of the bus that hit me? I shake my head attempting to clear my thoughts only to realise it was a bad idea, I fall back to bed with a groan and call out to mama coming out with a decidedly scratchy quality.

I hear a thump, thump, thump coming up the stairs and wince as in my current state it's ten times worse. I realize that there must have been a baby monitor in the room for mama to hear me, as she opens the door she looks over at me face full of concern before rushing over and gently cradling me in her lap. Not long after Nana enters the room with a much needed glass of water, she hands the glass off to mama who proceeds to lift it to my lips allowing me to drink the water. It's not until the entire glass has been drunk that I start to feel human again, once the glass has been emptied Nana leaves saying she's going to get another. Mama looks at me concern very much still evident before speaking.

"Aloy how are you feeling honey?" (Coco)

"Better now mama." (Aloy)

"Feel up to going down stairs? The others need to talk to you baby girl. Also it's almost time for dinner." (Coco)

Before I can even reply my traitorous stomach growls out in reply, causing me to blush and mama to giggle a little softening up a bit. With an unspoken agreement to ignore the traitor that is my stomach, mama cradles me in her arms and carries me downstairs and in to the living room. Mama sits down with me on the chair looking for all the world like the mother lion that she is, somehow settling me on her lap and glaring at the two men at the same time. 'HAH serves you right!' I think as I see them flinch, Nana walks over giving me another glass of water and I smile at her as I receive it which she returns softly. Everybody watches me carefully as I drink about half the glass, closing my eyes I feel more human and my headache recede. Deciding it's time to address the elephant in the room, I open my eyes staring at the two men waiting for the inquisition to start. Nono sighs before opening is mouth to start.

"Aloy child before we start I'm going to say you're not in trouble, but we do need to ask a couple of questions okay?" (Nono)

I slowly nod signalling him to continue, at which he smiles a little before becoming serious again.

"What did you mean when you said sealing him would cripple Tsuna?" Nono

Shit! SHIT!! Time to lie my ass off and hope his HI doesn't detect the smell of bullshit; I tilt my head pretending to think before answering.

"I could feel that what you were going to do would be bad for Tsuna, felt that the flames were a part of him that needed be kept for him to be as normal as possible. Taking that away would mean misery and pain for him." (Aloy)

I can't believe this I'm actually starting to sniffle over this! Has that dipshit actually gotten to me? Whilst mama calms me down the men look at each other brows raised, before turning back to me looking at them with the occasional sniffle.
