Tsuna's Pov.
The man named Tomioka Garu stared walking towards the forest, right after my mom provoked him.
"We don't have time to lose, can the boy move"
"Tsunayoshi hasn't been train in fast step let alone non flame combat, Tomioka-san are you dumb?" After she said this the temperature stared to drop. It is only September!
"Mom! We should go, let's ru.... Woah! Let me down!" This man just haul me in his back like I weight nothing.
"Mom run! What are you doing put me down, or I will have to hurt you!" This man is so freaking strong, his arm is like an iron clamp. No only his body feels like metal but his strength is unbelievable. It doesn't mater how much I struggle, he doesn't even brother to flinch!
Unfortunately, my mom seems unimpressed. With a smile she comes over to us and starts poking the side chest of the man holding me hostage.
"To-mi-o-ka-san, if you drop him I will fillet you!"
My mom actually threatened him. Despite the cold aura, the man is... Smiling? It looks more like a smirk that Hibari-san would give.
"Do your worse"
With that said, the madman stars running through the forest jumping and side stepping the incoming trees.
"Hieeeeee!"
And when I said jumping, I mean going over a tree in one leap!
The spycho lands on a tree branch and he start to jump from tree to tree to my dismay.
I am about to pass out, my soul is leaving my body. But as I am about to leave this world, my mom's face comes to view.
"Did I died?"
"No, you're very much alive Tsu-kun"
"What the hell. Mom! Why are you here? How are you here? I must have died... Yes, that has to be it, there is no way that my mom is jumping like a monkey beside a monkey-freak of a man... Oh God I am turning into Hana!"
I can hear a chuckle on my side. The madman is holding in his laughter. It is really annoying for some reason.
"I think is best for me to tell you everything. Looks like this coward fly can't"
In cue the madman jump down to evade a round kick from my mother, is that a hidden blade in her sandal?!
"As you can see, your mother is not the person you think she is and of course she knew of your father's deep involvement with Vongola from the very beginning. She just thought that was safer than been involved with her side. A pretty shitty move if you ask me"
When I hear his words is like my world comes crashing. Is this really happening?
"Wait! Mom is that true? You knew all along! Why didn't you stop this! You have any idea how scared I was all those times I had to risk my life... ack!"
The madman tighten his hold in my chest and I can feel something cracking. He soon release me and I can breathe again.
"I know you are hurt, but let me finish before you start with the family drama. Your mother can't interfere with mafia related business. The only reason why she is even telling you all of this is because you are quite important to the association that we belong. Don't get me wrong we won't force you to do anything that you don't want. We are a lot less pushy that your father's side"
I manage to sit on a tree branch right beside Tomioka-san and in front of mom. Her smile is gone, and she is left wearing an empty look. I wonder what is she thinking.
"Your mother and I belong to the Hakushi family. Hakushi is not mafia, we are more like vigilantes. We oversee the underworld network of connections. If a group gets to powerful, it is our duty to dissipate opportunities that would benefit certain group. You could say that we are like a organization that upholds antitrust laws on the underworld"
I look at him like he has grown another head, I didn't just wasted my precious weekend to hear a lecture on mafia law, did I?.
It looks that mom finally took pity on me and explains what the hell Tomioka-san said.
"Tsu-kun, the antitrust laws purpose is to keep competition going. When mafia families compete for power instead of uniting. They stay small and harmless to the government. It is like trimming the tree on our backyard. We trim it to keep it from damaging our house and the neighbors fence"
What the hell, so my mom is now a mafia cop or something?
"Before you start to get wild ideas. I am not a cop, I am more like a spy, but I don't work for the government. Your father is aware that I hide something, but he doesn't ask. We have an unspoken agreement that no one of us needs to know everything about the other, just the important stuff"
I look at Tomioka-san for any signs that this is a joke because, there is no way what my mom just said makes any sense. SHE IS A FRICKING SPY!!!
"The point is that your mom is direct bloodline and you need to make act of presence to officially decline your rights for the position of boss... Unless you want to be a eligible candidate"
Whe he said those words, mom threw a small kitchen knife at Tomioka-san head.
Tomioka-san just moved his head to the side and the knife ended stuck halfway in the tree behind him. His only response was a raised eyebrow and an unimpressed face.
"I advise you to shut up Tomioka-san, unless you want that mouth of your shut permanently. Tsunayoshi will not become boss, that's final"
I feel shivers running down my back. Mom's eyes are shining in a very dangerous ways, scary!!!
Tomioka-san seems ready to argue, but fortunately doesn't.
"Tsunayoshi, you will be meeting your cousin in a little while. Don't let her intimidate you, she might be blunt and aloft, but is a very nice girl. She is only very introverted"
Mom and Tomioka-san share a look and smile at me.
"I think you will be a good influence on her Tsu-kun. Tsubaki-chan will definitely appreciate your company"
Tsubaki, that's a pretty name.
"Well let's get going, we have to get to the manor before lunch. Tomioka-san, keep up"
After mom finished talking, she dashed through the forest at incredible speed, doing flips and sidestepping to evade the incoming trees and rocks.
I was on Tomioka-san's back, holding for my dear life. He decided to give a piggyback ride instead of holding me like a sack of potatoes.
After some time, around ten minutes, there was a mansion coming to view.
It had a Japanese front, but I could see a tall western style building on the back. I am not sure how we haven't see it from Namimori, it is really tall.
In the front entrance they were two girls dressed in kendo training outfits. One had black hair and the other was a brunette, a shade very similar to mine. The brunette was wearing red hakama pants and white gi while the other wore blue hakama and black gi.
They both had their long hair in high ponytails and were holding black shinai practice swords.
"Yuki Tsubaki, Nana and I have to discuss something, keep Tsunayoshi company while we are gone"
The brunette girl turned and faced me with closed eyes and tilded her head to the side. The other girl keep a relaxed posture resting her shinai on her shoulder.
"Auntie, please don't try to kill uncle Garu while I am gone, but if you must, do it outside"
The brunette, my cousin... I think? Came to my side and drag me away by the hand before I could process what just happened.
"Tsu-chan make sure not to scare Tsu-kun. Yuki-chan practice your Japanese with Tsu-kun"
The black haired girl gives mom a thumbs up and starts walking in front of us.
"Tsunayoshi, let's go get something to eat. Yuki what are my options for today"
The other girl swiftly walked on my other side, hold my free hand and stared talking in English.
"You had meat this week, and seafood this month. You will have to compromise with veggies. Sorry Tsubaki, we have to take care of your numbers"
I couldn't understand what she said, but I could hear the tsk from my cousin and I couldn't help, but chuckle at the annoyed face she is making.
Wait... this is so wrong, since when do I have a cousin!
"Tsubaki-chan! Do you not feel uncomfortable meeting me? I mean, we don't even know each other and you are holding my hand"
"Wow Tsunayoshi, you and Tsubaki different. My name is Sasaki Yuki, I'm Tsubaki's kinsmen or me think you call me guardian cause you mafia boss"
Her Japanese is bad, but she's pretty enthusiastic.
I am mafia? Ugh... but I don't want to be mafia.
"I... w... e... ia..."
"Huh? What'sup, Tsunayoshi speak"
What, I... she is so close, and cute!
"He said 'I don't want to be a mafia boss' or 'no quiero ser jefe de mafia' stop, if he doesn't like it then you shouldn't force the title on him"
Tsubaki is the one talking now. She has a soft voice and her face is been covered by her bangs.
"Sorry Tsunayoshi, you look like her so I speak alots"
What?
"Yuki wasn't raised in Japan, her Japanese is shitty, but she can understand and read very well. No so sure about the chicken scratches she calls Kanji"
"Boss! I know 'am stupid, no nice!"
She knows!!!
"Yuki-san you don't need to apologize, Tsubaki didn't you want to eat. Let's go, all of this information is making me dizzy"
Tsubaki's hold on my hand tighten and she takes us to the back of the main building.
Before we attempt to slide the door a blonde girl comes running through the corridors and holds me like a shield.
"Save me bossuuuuu!"
Woah, she is tall, and strong. She lifted me up like I was a pillow and stared laughing. She reminds me of Yamamoto.
Tsubaki doesn't say anything and stares at the hallway or at least I think she is, her bangs make it difficult to see.
There is a sigh from Yuki and she leans in the wall waiting for something to happen.
"NANAMI!!! Come back here and take your medicine you shit! I am not dealing with your bullshit today! I have training to do!"
A black haired teen came running through the same hallway holding a pink sippy cup. He stops in front of me and takes a good look at my face.
"Doppelganger?... how the fuck is this? Yuki did you piss off Maganitta again?"
"Oi! I don't do shit!"
"Then how the fuck did our boss turn into a guy, huh!"
"That's my cousin you morons, he is here to officially decline his rights to the boss position. Don't bother him any further "
The guy seems lost for a little bit, but regains his spunk after he sees Nanami slipping away in the middle of the chaos.
"You oversize brat, come here and take your damn medicine before I bring the nuclear option"
There is a smile in his face, but it sure as hell doesn't look nice.
Nanami doesn't wait anymore and opens the sippy cup and drinks whatever is in there, the face that she makes after is both funny and concerning at the same time. What was in that cup?
"Hahaha.... bahhhh is so disgusting is even funny! Haha... What the hell did Mrs. Sawada put here. She truly outdone herself this time"
"It is a mix of medicinal herbs that will even out your dopamine levels and make you less impulsive"
"You do know that curses don't work that way, do you?"
"Master's medicine is not regular human medicine, its ingredients are shady as fuck, but they produce results. So quit your bitching!"
The blonde is about to get in another heated argument, but is cut off by the door sliding and a white haired guy looking kind of like Ryohei-nii.
The only clear difference is the green eyes and calm mannerism. He even has the same scar!
"Oh, you guys are here. Clara made lunch. Come in and eat, she will get mad if you let the food cool off"
We all follow him inside a very spacious dining room where a tall brunette in a slacks and colorful dress shirt is serving food. She kind of looks like Hana-san.
"Oh dear, it seems that we have a guest. Hello nice to meet you, my name is Clara Montenegro and I am Tsubaki's kinsmen or guardian if you prefer"
After her introduction three other people finally figured that they have yet to introduced themselves.
"My bad, my name is Nanami Pizarro or you would say Pizarro Nanami here, right? Anyways, I am also Tsubaki's kinsmen"
The blonde girl gives me a beaming smile and proceeds to hit the ravenette to force an introduction out of him.
"I am Jonathan Chevez, but you can call me Jona if you want. I am Tsubaki's kinsmen and nurse, find me is you feel sick"
"Hello, I apologize for the late introduction. You look like Tsubaki so I assume you were her brother, anyways, I am Monoma Tao. You may call me Tao if you wish. I would be happy to answer any questions that you have"
I don't have time to process the information before we are interrupted by another ravenette.
Another guy comes to the dinning room panting and wearing a face of horror.
"Tsubaki! Huff, you have to stop..."
"Hey! we are doing introductions for Tsubaki's doppelganger here, introduce yourself dude"
The guy stares at Jona with a blank look and just rolls with it.
"The name is Joe Bratton, one of Tsubaki's kinsmen and the man that hopes to marry her"
"Give it up, I am not interested"
Holly cow! She rejected him.
The guy looks like he was pierced by an arrow, but still stands tall.
He is so amazing, I couldn't do that after I confessed to Kyoko-chan, I can't even confess without a dying will bullet.
"What do you want Joe did something happen"
Tsubaki's question puts back the look of horror in Joe's face.
"The Insect Pillar and Water Pillar are about to kill each other, AGAIN!!!"
Everyone in the room goes pale and I can hear a faint 'fuck' coming from Tsubaki.
