Please enjoy!)

A few days before the opening of Black Cafe:

Lal was frustrated! A few months back they had caught a spy that was selling information on Vongola. 5 years ago the eldest heir Enrico had been killed, a year after that Massimo and a few weeks later the youngest Fredriko had been found shot to death. She had just found out from the captured spy that Iemitsu was the next target, as he had the Vongola Sky Flames. What pissed her off was the fact the bloody bitch thought she could take Basil as a hostage. Basil proved himself to be no pushover though. Her Flames were in a tizzy since, if she hadn't taken the calming draught, she would have probably done something stupid by now.

Things were getting intense in the mafia and she worried for her Sky. The fourth child, Xanxus threw a fit when he heard all his older siblings were dead. She had literally told Viper to take him to Namimori and let him calm down. But before that had happened Xanxus had snapped and attacked Nonno. It was a mess. Now Iemitsu was throwing a fit and a tantrum because Nonno had decided to make his eldest child the Decimo.

Lal, 'I'm not paid enough for this shit, I need a vacation last month.'

Viper avoided her in public although it wasn't the case in privacy. They were both baffled by the strange events. From one side it looked like a simple open and shut case. But from the other side, it looked so simple and easy it made their skin crawl. There was something else or rather someone else pulling the strings here. And they had no clue where to start.

Flashback to a month ago:

Lal, "Are we secure?"

Viper, "Muuu! Yes, no one can enter without alerting my Flames."

Lal, "How are you holding up?"

Viper, "I have honestly been better. Definitely better off than the rest."

Lal, "You saw the report?"

Viper, "Yes! It's very strange. I don't know why but I feel like we're being played."

Lal, "Any news from the informants?"

Viper, "........."

Lal got worried at the strange silence, "Viper?"

Viper, "My informants were found dead."

Lal's eyes widened, "How is that possible? You have the best spy network in the underworld"

Viper, "Lal...  Be careful! We have an unknown enemy."

Flashback end!

Viper hasn't talked to her since then, they had thrown themselves into rebuilding their network . Lal was honestly impressed and terrified by whoever it was that attacked them. They had left no evidence whatsoever behind to trace them and it frustrated the two of them. Lal gave a sigh, she is so taking a fully paid relaxing vacation once this problem was solved.

Lal, 'I kinda pity anyone who would try to hurt Tsuna though, Reborn would have their hide and Harry is no pushover with his curses either. Not to forget the rest of the group.'

Meanwhile:

Reborn was in a bad mood, he had come to Italy for a meeting with Nonno about the next heir. Reborn's face visibly darkened when he learned about the plan to make Tsuna the next Decimo. He had no doubts Tsuna would be an amazing leader, but the fact they were going to force one of his kids to become a leader without consulting him first grated on his nerves. Yes he considers the kids his, he has been teaching them since they could walk literally.

Nonno misunderstood his anger, "I understand it's not exactly ideal as Tsuna doesn't have active Flames and is a civilian. But right now we don't have a choice."

Iemitsu clenched his fist, "But Nonno it's like you said, my son doesn't have active Flames! How would he even qualify? Not to forget with the inability to harmonize with his Guardians, he would be an open target for the enemies."

Nonno, "I understand your concern Iemitsu, but don't worry that is what the Vongola bullets are for."

Reborn, "Bullets Nonno?"

Nonno, "Yes, they are specially designed to help activate any dormant Flames in a human body."

Reborn felt some dread rising, "And where did you get this bullets from? If I didn't know better I say you were ready for something like this."

Iemitsu's eyes sharpened, "I'm curious as well Nonno, I never heard of a new bullet being created."

Nonno, "I'll admit it was what we found at the Estraneo Lab that was destroyed a few years back. We have run tests and experiments on the bullet since. Don't worry it works well."

Iemitsu gave a tight smile at his boss while Reborn looked at the bullet in contemplation. He was dumping the damn thing on Verde first. He would love tinkering it.

Nonno, "Anyway my decision is final. I know I promised to keep your family out of the mafia business Iemitsu but I'm sorry. This can't be avoided, I'm an old man now. I don't have much time left."

Reborn, "Very well Nonno! If that's your decision."

The meeting ended on a sour note. It was unexpected for it to be anything else considering the topic. Iemitsu left without saying another word. He was frustrated. When he had learned Tsuna was an inactive civilian, he had hope to keep his family away from this part of his life. But now that was impossible, he didn't know what to do.

Reborn, "Iemitsu."

Iemitsu, "Reborn....."

Iemitsu gave a fake smile, "You're going to take care of my tuna fish. I feel really jealous! And wait I have to give you information on my cute tuna and.... "

Reborn, "Iemitsu"

Reborn sighed, "It'll be ok."

Iemitsu swallowed a lump in his throat before nodding his head and going to his office to give Reborn the file. Reborn took the offered file without saying anything and left giving him a look that seems to say, 'Don't do anything stupid, baka Iemitsu!'

Reborn called a familiar number, "Hello Lal? I believe that your suspicions about a bigger play was right."

Lal, "Shit! How's my idiot Sky holding up? Is he alright? Where is he?"

Reborn, "He locked himself up in his office... Don't worry he's safe."

Lal, "Thank you Reborn."

Reborn disconnected the call and decided to go through the information that Vongola had on one of his kids. It was much to his relief the general basics. He half wondered how his Sky would react to this turn of events. What really got his attention was the group of people who Tsuna was with was heavily edited. It was a picture from far away but..... Harry was in the picture. Even if they didn't know about his Sky... Danger by Association. He knows his Sky won't turn his back on this, it's not his nature and will try to help and that worried him.

Reborn, 'He won't be happy even if he'll understand. It's a good stroke of luck I got a year to prepare.'

Reborn left to head to Namimori, the training doesn't start till his baby Sky turns 14, which is next year. He might as well enjoy the time with his Sky. He had promised to be there at the opening of the Cafe so he better get a move on.
