A Dish Best Served Cold {KHR}

Target 15 - Rain: Flames Pt. 2

Tsuna's POV:

I sighed and shook my head. I was currently in the main living room on the bottom floor of Vongola mansion, with my paperwork as usual. Most of the arcobaleno were out on missions right now while the rookie flame users go around with my guardians.

It's now day two of week three- yesterday, Hayato was showing his rookies around and had his run-in with me while the other students were training with the arcobaleno. Poor them, the Varia has all control while most of the other arcobaleno are on missions.

The only ones who stayed were Colonnello and Lal, just in case something were to happen to Vongola mansion and also because there was only a month and a half left for training. Technically, the two ex-COMSUBIN members are also joining in but mostly overseeing the spars.

I saw Chrome pop in every once in a while to see if I was doing okay. Lambo and I-Pin were with Bianchi again but this time they were on a trip around the local area instead of being in the mansion. I was a little glad because they were still kids so they had to have a little more freedom.

Soon, I saw Fuuta open the door to the living room and peek his head around the corner. "Tsuna-nii," he whispered. I smiled and nodded, stretching my arms wide as he ran into them and hugged me. "You okay, Fuuta?" I asked.

He nodded and settled himself more comfortably on my lap while I continued to sign paperwork. "According to my rankings, Tsuna-nii is number one in a lot of things but he's the number one hard working person. How do you do it?" He asked curiously. I chuckled and ruffled his hair.

"Fuuta, a good mafia boss always does whatever it takes to make his famiglia happy and safe," I told him, continuing to sign paperwork when he shifted in my lap again and turned to look up at me. "Then Tsuna-nii is the best boss!" He replied childishly.

I blushed at his flattery. "I wouldn't go that far, Fuuta." He just giggled and ran out of the living room without another word. Hopefully, he would find Chrome and stay with her. I sighed and shook my head with a smile.

It doesn't seem like I can get a break at all, because there was a knock on the door. I could tell it was Takeshi. Straightening up, I answered quickly and to the point. "Enter," I commanded, the door sliding open in a fluid moment at the order.

Behind it was my rain guardian, Takeshi with four rookies behind him. He cleared his throat and stepped forward, the rookies standing off to the side slightly. "What was it that you needed, Takeshi?" I asked.

"The I&I units were sent out to infiltrate an enemy famiglia and collect information on recent suspicious information Hibari had found with the help of Spanner and Irie. They are currently on standby until further confirmation. I'll update you on any new developments as usual," he replied.

I nodded, setting down my pen and interlocking my fingers together, placing my chin on them. "Name of the famiglia?"

"It's the Peccatori famiglia."

"Hmmm... troublesome indeed, Takeshi. Approved, tell the units to proceed cautiously," I ordered. He nodded and responded with a 'hai' before turning to his students. I smiled softly. This is probably going to go similar to Hayato's.

"As the left hand man of the Decimo, my part in the Vongola is the information gatherer and to sift through the information to see if anything is of any use. My intuition also tells me if a piece of info is relevant or not, no matter how insignificant it may seem at the time."

"Rain flame users usually go into either the offensive unit under Hibari or into the infiltration units under me- manipulating the rain flames to nullify the senses of guards, or your own feet so that they make no sound are key skills which are used in the infiltration units."
