(Hello everyone!

Enjoy!)

While Harry and Reborn were planning on how to train their kids, Lal was having trouble with getting the rings. She wondered if she'll ever be able to get the rings, it looks like the curse was more thoroughly thought out than they had first thought. Lal had to watch over her boss as well, he had become more jumpy and wary for an unknown reason. She half wondered if his intuition was playing havoc on his mind, she was having a meeting with Iemitsu's Guardians right now for this reason.

Lal, "Iemitsu will be here soon. You all noticed how exhausted and jumpy our foolish Sky has been the last few weeks. Has he told you anything?"

Oregano looked at Turmeric, "No, nothing, but he jumped when I called him earlier."

Turmeric, "He also looked very frustrated with something, and angry while going through some of the papers he needed to sign."

Basil wrung his hands, "Godfather has not told me anything and I was supposed to go on a mission to Canada, but he refused saying it was a risk he could not afford right now. He also said I was not even supposed to be on that mission but going to Japan instead."

Lal frowned, "I was not told you were being sent to Canada. I'll have to talk to Iemitsu about this."

Iemitsu walked in, "Talk to me about what Lal?"

Lal, "Basil was about to be sent to Canada? I was not informed about it."

Iemitsu nodded, "There is something strange going on and I'm not sure what or who is doing it."

Lal looked him over, "You idiot when was the last time you slept."

Iemitsu waved Lal off, "I'm fine Lal. I had one hour of sleep."

Basil eyed him worriedly, "Godfather... You don't look well."

Iemitsu sighed, "I was looking into Massimo's death."

Lal, "What? What for?"

Iemitsu, "Well, first of all, I fear for when my son gets here. Second, his death was unnatural, no matter how you look at it. Third, I don't want whoever killed Massimo to go after my son."

Basil, "Ah! That makes sense."

Iemitsu, "Speaking of which, I found out what happened to your parents, Basil."

Basil looked up, "Godfather?"

Oregano, "Iemitsu?"

Turmeric, "That's why you always left. I thought you were resting, boss!!!!"

Iemitsu looked at the couple sheepishly, before turning to the youngest, "They were killed plain and simple."

Basil was taken aback, "What?"

Lal narrowed her eyes, "There's more to it, isn't it?"

Iemitsu nodded, "Estraneo, I'm sure of it and also the Vales from Canada. I would not be surprised if they were behind the request either for Basil to be sent to Canada."

Basil, "They want to manipulate me emotionally, don't they? Feeding me half clues and then making me think Vongola is my enemy."

Iemitsu sighed, "That's the plan I can see being used here. Also the Vales were the ones to land the finishing blow on Massimo. How come no one found out about that baffles me."

Lal cursed under her breath, "This lapse in security cannot be left unhandled. It would be easy to go in and out of Vongola in this manner."

Iemitsu grimaced, "I know."
