Chapter 20: Inheritance Arc 4

Lavande was surprised – which didn't happen all that often when it came to the Sawada family, since she had been their guardian angel for so long – but understood nonetheless.
Relationship outside of the mafia world weren't easy, and most of the time doomed - her own parents relation had been a testament to that, her witch of a mother unable to accept the mafioso in her father, wanting to see only the wizard.
That Iemitsu, as absentee as he had been, had still managed to have a small place in his civilian family was nothing short of a miracle.

"You should tell them." she finally said, nodding toward the twin "One day or the other, they'll wonder why you keep Nana in the dark."
Iemitsu nodded in turned, deep in thought, while Lavande, to her surprise, found herself face to face with Andrea, a hand extended toward her – and it was all she could to refrain from blushing, because it had been a long time since anyone had invited her to dance in a brightly decorated ballroom...

"I'm surprised you haven't tried to steal Kaze-chan away." she noted as they twirled on the dance-floor
"Oh, I will." he assured with a smirk, both amused and predatory "Riling up Renato is too fun to pass up..."
"Only an assassin finds attempted murder fun..." she sighed, rolling her eyes but smiling nevertheless "Does it means you do it only to annoy your mentor?" she went on asking, curious – after all he hadn't known about Reborn the first time he'd flirted with the reincarnated Girl-Who-Lived

"I would steal her if I could." he admitted easily "But she won't be swayed that easily, those two have a way of completing each other I can't compete with." a shrug "So I may as well get my fun out of it."
"Here I thought you came to Japan just to chase after her!" commented Lavande, surprised by the change of heart of the assassin
"I did. Even if I can't have her, her brother and her will change the mafia underworld, it would be too bad to miss it, wouldn't it?"

She smiled back her agreement at the roguish grin – and inwardly snorted as at least three daughter of mafia Don seemed to be ready to swoon as they saw him smile; even if he didn't succeed at wooing Kazami, the man still was one the the most sought-after single men of the mafia world, and teenage girl didn't care about his playboy, and far from usurped, reputation.

But womanizing reputation or not, he was right – the twins would change their world, had already started, and it was something she wouldn't want to miss either, something she was proud to be a part of...

A few hours into the party, Tsuna and Enma managed to slip out of the ballroom to hide in on of the numerous balcony, to confirm the finer details of their plan.
One week later, the Day Squad and Night Pack were on a ship going toward the small island lost in the middle of the pacific where Cozarto had been stranded and made his home centuries before – and on the island, the Simon were waiting for them, the Sin already used to wake up their rings powers.

The Alien Force and unArmy were back in Japan, with the Alien Force making a stop in Hong Kong to to take care of some Vindice business, as their deal stipulated.

As for Mizuki she went back to Britain – but not before she had shared one surprising discovery with the rest of the Famiglia during the week spent together at the Iron Fort...

"I've found Myrdin's personal diary."
The bombshell, dropped casually as the Vongola X were ending the day together, stunned everyone for a few long seconds before Padfoot's excited yips rebooted their brain...
"Congratulation!" gushed Hana, the perspective of new knowledge making her react as other girl would to make up or shopping

"It is in an ancient language," warned Mizuki "One I've never seen before, so translating is far from easy. Thankfully, this language seems to be, at least partly, an ancestor to proto-celtic languages so I have some lead that help translating..."
"So did you find anything or is it too early to tell?" asked a curious Lavande – even if they didn't find anything useful for their current goals, any knowledge gained would be a new insight into History of an era that was more myths and legend than accurate account
