Just Another Case...

Secret Informant

"Oho~ look who just survived the spartans~" Taiyo chuckled as he saw the four entering the room.

"Oh come on, Ta-nii~ How could you say such thing? I'm a good boy. A sweet baby angel in fact~" Tsuna said, acting cute as he take his seat with Mygale's help.

"Angel?" Edward muses, "you mean Shinigami, yes?" He snickered in tease.

"Mou~ am not~" rolling his eyes the brunet whined childishly, making the others chuckle.

Reborn tipped his fedora up, but before he could say anything, Conan spoke up on his stead, "Actually, He is an angel alright." He said with no hesitation.

"Eh?" the brunet blinks, not expecting that. Most of them share the confusion to be honest.

Kaito, however, nods with a sweatdrop as he remembered a certain Satan in action, "Had it not for Tsuna-sensei. Reborn-san might... know no restrain?" to which that actually got the whole room to bark a laughter whilst the young sky chuckle despite his faint blush.

"See~? even my pupils agree!" He exclaimed in glee as he stared at his partner with his own amusement.

"I'm not that bad~" The hitman said with a smirk and twinkle in his eyes.

"Yeah, you're worse!" Taiyo almost fell over his chair, sides getting hurt from all of the laughter.

"Uh-huh. Someone has grown a back bone I see~" at the blond's pale face, Tsuna lost it himself.

"Maa~ Let's just start the lunch, shall we?" Takeshi said with a sweatdrop himself. It'll be bad if they continue this taunt. Like, someone might actually dead by the end of the day.

Thankfully, no one actually disagree this time.

After lunch, The two were sent to the library where a certain storm guardian has awaits. Two white boards and piles of books could be seen as the man got them seated to the only two chairs provided. They then spent hours until evening talking about Vongola History. Afterall, they are part of the Famiglia now. 

If anything, Hayato was impressed on how the two manage to grasp it all with much ease, the young detective especially. He has been assigned with the same job to some of the recruitment but he never met sponges like these two, it's rather refreshing for him.

Brief storyline from Primo to Decimo reign. Even the other alias, which is Neo Vongola Primo that Taiyo has. Some tale of the sin, Vongola's downfall included. Then, after all that jazz, they moved to some of the alliances that strongly related to Vongola main power— Varia, CEDEF, Cavallone, Simon, Gesso, Gigglio Nero, Arcobaleno, Vindice. Their names and how they are related.

"I-If you don't mind me asking, Gokudera-san" Kaito called out albeit nervously, feeling rather familiar with the features of one person mentioned among the alliances. "Does this Byakuran-guy you mentioned has a purple crown tattoo around his cheek?"

The silveret arched a brow. "That's correct."

"What? You know him, Kaito?" Conan asked to which the teen sheepishly replied. "He's kinda my informant? I wasn't sure at first, But at the mention of Marshmallow addict and an albino, I couldn't help but reminded of that guy. I only ever met him once in real life though— it was chaotic."

The shrunken boy blanched, "That. Coming from you?"

Kaito shrugs. "We've seen the others, Reborn-san, and Tsuna-sensei"

"Now that you mention it" Conan sweatdrops.

Meanwhile, Hearing the new information Hayato wanted nothing but to facepalm. "So that freak has been meddling with civilians behind our back???"

"Mochiron! If I didn't meddle, we can't have this path of future, no?" A voice suddenly exclaim, one that two of them recognized.

"What are you doing here, Marshmallow freak?" Hayato asked with a scowl while the albino just grinned.

"Tsucchan invited me for a late tea party!" He answered easily before the added, "Besides, I kinda missed Kai-chan over here~" the young man gave a noogie on the magician's head like some sort of old friend.

"Urghhh... let go of me, Kailini-san" the teen whined with a light pout while the Mare ring user chuckled. Conan shot his partner a look.

"Ome day he found out about me. And for some reason always giving the info I needed. Creepily enough, He always know the situation one step ahead. It's like a magic. Most of his plan works like wonder in a pinch. And like I said, I've witnessed a real witch, so" he shrugs.

"Right" Conan sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose

"My assistance has been wonderful in the past, yes, phantom-chan~? Too bad, today I'm not here for you" Byakuran grinned as he turned to the mini Holmes instead.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Edogawa Conan, a detective." the boy introduced formally to which the sweet addict replied with. "I know. The name is Byakuran by the way. Oh, And Kudo-kun? Sorry but I'm not going to call you Conan" he said as he let go of the heisei lupin to ruffle the youngest locks with what akin to fondness.

There's sadness in those eyes, the young boy didn't understand why. But it kind of terrified him. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know. And it's something, remembering how far his curiosity has brought him, hence his shrunken state.

The look, however, didn't stay long as it soon got replaced back with his usual cheeky grin as the older male turned his back to face the other two again. "Now now~ since you guys are done. Kai-chan, you are expected by Reborn at the living room. I'm taking Kudo-kun with me~"

"E-Eh??? W-wait!" But the albino already dragged the chibi in question to the garden where his fellow skies has been waiting.

"Conan!" Almost running out himself, Kaito's shoulder was held firm by none other the storm guardian. "I don't know what that idiot is planning. But Tsuna-sensei is supposedly with him. So it'll be okay" Hayato said to calm down the distressed magician who only nods in resign.

The teen can only hope that nothing bad will happen while the two of them are separated.
