"Il mio nome è Ignazio , fratello di Fiore , tutti. Che piacere di incontrare tutti voi." (My name is Ignazio, Fiore's brother, everyone. What a pleasure to meet you all.)

His voice rang through the night. The sun had set, making the moon glow with it's light, illuminating what's beneath it.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi. Otherwise known as Vongola Decimo." He looked at Tsuna before looking at everyone else with an evil glint in his eyes. Fiore was put down by Takeshi and immediately replied,

"Ciò che le aziende che hanno con voi." (What business do they have with you?)

Everyone was certainly surprised she talked with fluency. Reborn explained to them after seeing their surprised expression. "Don't get me wrong but Fiore was born and raised in Italy. Japanese is a second language to her." Tsuna stared at the new person with caution. He certainly has a hostile presence but he's not serious.

Reborn saw the look in his student's eyes and immediately kicked Tsuna's head which made him step forward. Takeshi looked surprised as Hayato steadied him. "Um, Ignazio-san." Tsuna started. I was sure he was speaking Japanese earlier. Ignazio casted his attention to Tsuna with a sharp glance. Tsuna took this as a signal to talk, "Why do you want to meet us?" Ignazio chuckled. "Why to see the Vongola Family that has been so strong for years now, Tsunayoshi di Vongola.." He answered without hesitation.

"Nii-san. Please drop the serious facade right now." Fiore sighed as she looked at him with disappointment. Ignazio scoffed, "What? I can't be serious for once?" Immediately after he said that, the tense atmosphere was gone. "It's not that but you were scaring them. Plus Nii-san isn't the type to be serious unless he needs to be." Fiore pouted. "Right, right. Now why don't you give your big brother a big warm hug?" A seashell hit the back of his head. His big smile twitched before sighing, "Seriously, you never change, do you, Reborn?" The said hitman smirked. "Why would I? It's fun to see my students suffer-", "But it's more fun to see them improve." Fiore continued. She surprised herself on how she was able to know that. Reborn frowned for two reasons, first; he never taught Fiore about that yet and two; he and Ignazio were talking like they've known each other for a long time and he replied casually to someone he first met. He made a note to himself that he would investigate or ask, which is not easy because Ignazio is known for his mysterious demeanor.

Ignazio's mouth was in a thin line. "You all can call me Ignazio, no honorifics, and sorry for intimidating you." His smile came back. "Let's continue this talk elsewhere." He turned to Max who has been next to him for a while. "È tutto pronto, Drago?" Max nodded. Everyone looked at him with a confused face. Thanks to Reborn, everyone was forced to learn several languages, four, the least. "Tutto è pronto, Ignazio." No one has seen Max being formal. Since all these time, Max had been like a delinquent and always teasing the heck out of everyone. Including Tsuna and Fiore.

"What are you talking about, Nii-san?" Fiore asked but was silenced by a silent plane hovering on top her. No one had noticed it yet but she looked up. "An engine? A jet? No, the engine's noise is too heavy. A plane?" Fiore looked back at Ignazio with an are-you-kidding-me look while he just smiled. "Protected by flames, Night flames to be exact. Now let's get on." Everyone didn't understand what they were talking about but in Fiore's point of view, she could sense it clearly. Why isn't anyone reacting to it? Could it be? I'm the only one sensing it?

The plane wasn't that big but it wasn't that small either, it's engines roaring though only heard by Ignazio and Fiore. Ignazio gave her a pitied expression, even after that, you can still sense it. "Now then! Make the plane visible so they can board it, Drago." The ravenette ordered the curly brunette. Instantly, Max took out a remote from his jacket and pressed a button which made the plane visible.

"I'll explain to you why we need you all to come with me for the meantime." Ignazio's voice was serious and no one dared to defy him. Kyoya didn't say anything and boarded the plane first. Soon after, everyone boarded too. Fiore sat at a seat that was at the front and was facing the others. She rested her cheek on her propelled arm much to her dismay. She wanted to sleep yet this happened. Ignazio appeared from the pilot room and sat next to Fiore.

"Nii-san." Fiore called out. "Does this have to do with anything concerning my memories?" She whispered. "Sadly, yes. It does concern your memories." Ignazio is trying his best not to lose his cool but when it comes to his little sister, he sometimes does. Reborn was eyeing the siblings suspiciously. "Ignazio," he landed on the ravenette's head. "What are you two talking about?" Ignazio simply shook his head, "Nothing of importance, Reborn." Fiore gave him an apologetic smile which made Reborn jump onto her lap and sat there.

"So how's Japan so far, Ignazio?" Reborn asked. Ignazio grinned instantly, "Much has changed in Namimori but surely it's still the same, Obaa-chan is the same too. Just some of the shops or houses are new. Then the other districts are fine but not as fine as the place where Fiore and I lived for several years." Reborn nodded, "Speaking of your grandmother, I heard you argued with her." Reborn said casually which caused Fiore to mentally curse the Arcobaleno. "Ah." Was Ignazio's only response before spacing out on something. Reborn and Fiore looked at each other. "What's up with him?" He asked, the girl shrugged. "It's best we leave him alone, Reborn." Fiore stood up, taking Reborn with her to the others who were chatting altogether including Mukuro and Kyoya which only had death threats and insults sent towards each other.

Takeshi was the first to realize their presence. "Yo! Kid, Fiore! Wanna join in?" He either ignored or didn't realize the glare Kyoya was giving him.

"You're done, child. Just leave this world in peace."

Fiore sweated and let Reborn down, "I'm off to see the pilot for a while. To ask where we're going?" Reborn looked at her suspiciously and Takeshi furrowed his brows. She laughed awkwardly as she slowly took a few steps back. Ignazio was staring at her after doing his thinking. "Nii-san, I need to talk to you.. I've been having headaches." His eyes widened a fracture and pulled her to the other side of the plane. "Are you feeling well? Why are you getting the headaches?" Fiore giggled, "I'm fine. It's just that recently, I've been hearing people talking in my head. But for some reason, I know that I know that voice but I can't remember it. Which causes me to overthink it and then I start to hyperventilate and stuff and then I can't concentrate on a lot of stuff which is why I didn't eat so much and jog so much a--" Fiore started to hyperventilate and Ignazio hugged her, "It's okay, your big brother is here. Don't mind it, okay? I'm sure it's nothing." Ignazio bit his lower lip after he said that, so it's coming back already, he thought. Unknown to them, Reborn was watching them with a frown and his fedora covered his eyes.

He walked towards Takeshi and Kyoya who were surprisingly being good with each other. What with them having mutual respect towards each other and the years they've been fighting together. They both noticed the frown on the infant's face and immediately knew that something bad was going to happen. Takeshi glanced at Kyoya and vice versa.

Reborn jumped to the seat in front of theirs which was empty, fortunately, they sat on the opposite side where the others are at. He eyed the two carefully before saying, "There's a chance that what we're going to hear might not be good so brace yourselves. And there's a possibility that Fiore is involved in what Ignazio is going to talk about." Fortunately, no one heard what they were talking about except Ignazio, who has an extremely sharp hearing due to the years of training.

As expected from Reborn, though he won't remember anything for now. He smiled sadly and the curly brunette who had been interacting with Tsuna and the others finally noticed the sad expression his friend had. The pilot called for the ravenette, announcing that they have reached their destination. Tsuna looked out the window and gasped lightly, "Are you kidding me?" Instantly, everyone looked out the window excluding Mukuro and Kyoya.

"We're in Paris?!" Indeed, the sight of the Eiffel Tower was amazing since they were right next to it. "Alright, everyone! Fasten your seatbelts we're about to land." Max shouted in order to catch their attention. Fiore and Ignazio had already taken their seats and Kyoya had fastened his seatbelt after the announcement was made. Takeshi was amazed at how tall the Eiffel Tower was and laughed when Chrome was speechless. Reborn had taken the seat from earlier and sat there silently, waiting for their landing. "Thirty minutes flight, results in Paris, France." Hayato said, still in shock.

After landing, which they had to jump, everyone was immediately ushered to a secret tunnel under the Eiffel Tower. Hayato stayed close to Tsuna as he and Chrome was a bit scared. Fiore stayed next to Ignazio while carrying Lambo who was very scared after seeing a skeleton. Ignazio chuckled, "Sorry, this tunnel connects to the catacombs, don't mind the skeletons scattering everywhere and if you hear voices, don't listen to them." Ignazio explained while the others got even more scared. Fiore held Ignazio's arm tightly as she walked with him, his other arm held a lantern. Leon had transformed into a rope so that the people at the back won't get seperated. They stopped at a two way tunnel.

"The right one is where we're going, the left is just a dead end--ahem, the catacombs. If you wanna go to the catacombs," he smiled creepily, "I can show you the way." Tsuna paled as Hayato declined nervously. Takeshi laughed nervously and Fiore pouted. She hit his arm lightly but it still hurt. He whined of the pain but stopped after seeing the look on her face.

"A-anyways, let's keep going."

-----

"Huah, that was scary." Tsuna said, still shooked from what had happened.

"It was the stupid cow who got lost in the first place!" Hayato glared at Lambo and Takeshi tried to calm him down as Lambo was crying. Fiore sighed and Ignazio shook his head. "That's enough. Let's get back to the hideout." Max groaned and dragged Hayato and Lambo with him as they walked.

What had happened earlier was that while taking the right tunnel, Lambo had accidentally dropped his candy so he went back to get it but forgot the way and went to the left tunnel. Fiore who had let him go was the first one to noticed his disappearance which results in them going back. Alfred heard a terrifying scream and fainted because of a skeleton right next to him. Marco ended up being scared by a hand that suddenly appeared on his shoulder. He stuck to the group and never said a word after. Hayato and Takeshi got jumpscared by Ignazio and Reborn and got yelled by Fiore. Kyoya was busy trying to bite Mukuro because of his illusions. Chrome just stayed at the sidelines, watching the whole chaos. Tsuna was trying his best to keep his cool until a certain afro-haired boy in a cow suit running to him and knocked him out cold. And that results to now. Alfred, he woke up after getting slapped countless times, and Marco not saying a word, Lambo and Hayato being dragged by Max, Tsuna being carried by Takeshi, Kyoya and Mukuro got their ears pulled by Fiore for misbehaving, Ignazio got a bump on his head and walking with the baby-wearing-a-ghost-costume is on his shoulder and Chrome is walking next to Fiore.

Before they could reach the hideout, Fiore was being bothered by her hair being pulled. When she finally had enough, she shouted. "Alright! Who did that?" Everyone looked at her, confused. "Clearly you guys are feigning ignorance, right?" When none of them had any reactions, she immediately paled. "Well then.." She sweated nervously. Everyone casted their attention away from her. Instantly, she looked back to see a skeleton standing on it's own while pointing a finger to her. She laughed nervously, "Mukuro, Chrome, please tell me that one of you is doing this." She said out loud which caused the two to look back and gasp lightly. Mukuro started to sweat, "Ku..fufu.. Unfortunately, I did not. Nagi?" Chrome shook her head and held onto Mukuro's arm. The trio stood there, frozen in place. Tsuna noticed their absence and told Takeshi to go back to them. Once they reached the trio, he paled. Takeshi being Takeshi, he thought it was a joke. "Woah! Did one of you do it? It's amazing." As expected of Takeshi!! They all thought until it moved again, this time in a stance to run. "T-Takeshi... None of us did this." She gulped, "It's a real spirit." With this, Takeshi also sweated, "Then why aren't we running?" He asked.

"That's because I have not gave chase yet." Takeshi 'oh'-ed but stopped midway. "It talked! Run!" Tsuna shouted. In an instance, everyone scrambled to run. As the most smallest one excluding Lambo, Fiore sprinted to the end of the tunnel with Tsuna being carried by Takeshi again. Mukuro and Chrome had disappeared into a mist, leaving them behind. "Darn the catacombs! I'm gonna die!" Fiore shouted as she made a last push and jumped out of the tunnel. Everyone that had been waiting went still when they saw a blur of teal blue shot past them. Hayato was about to ask where Tsuna and Takeshi is at but noticed that Fiore was in the air albeit longer than she was supposed to be.

She's supposed to be landing two seconds ago!

Takeshi suddenly threw Tsuna into the air who was later caught by Ignazio. Takeshi also jumped out of the tunnel. The hidden tunnel led out to a forest and was a few foot above ground so they have to jump either way. Fiore's eyes flashed a brighter blue before she landed on one foot gracefully. Both her arms were up to maintain balance. Takeshi landed right next to her and crouching. "Nice landing, Takeshi." She praised and smiled. Takeshi could've sworn he saw her eyes glow but quickly thought it was his imagination. "You too." They both look back to see the skeleton pointing at them and paled. "Sir Nicholas. Please stop scaring our guests." Ignazio said and chuckled as the skeleton complained and went back in.

"Nii-san, please don't do that again." Fiore dreaded as Chrome and Tsuna still felt weak from the scare. Mukuro held his trident above his head and aimed it at Ignazio as Takeshi laughed freely. Takeshi tried to stop Mukuro as Chrome and Tsuna was being comforted by Hayato.

"See what you did, baka?" Fiore crossed her arms on her chest and Ignazio stuck his tongue out. A little argument erupted between the siblings. Reborn, Lal and Colonello sighed. "Ah, I'm getting tired! Carry me back to HQ." Fiore suddenly exclaimed which made Takeshi and Mukuro stop. Mukuro was threatening Takeshi to let him stab Ignazio at least once. Ignazio gave her a weird face. "No way, you're heavy." She immediately gave him a punch in which he dodged easily. He took a few steps back but Reborn tripped him.

"Let's just go!"

"Well here we are. The family HQ." The whole group gaped at the structure of the building.

  "This is where we're going to talk."
