Hayato and Mukuro looked adamant about following them into dangerous territory. Honestly, the Sky should have seen it coming. Hayato had shown time and time again that he would be right behind him at every hurdle, and Mukuro, while more cagey, was loyal to a fault once you earned his trust, and cared in a roundabout way – god forbid anything be straight forward with him. The illusionist had also witnessed first hand how much Namimori had hurt the brunet, and would want to be there to prevent further harm. No way would they have left Tsuna and Kyoya alone to face yakuzas in a place probably monitored by the Vongola.
"Lambo-san wants to come too!" Yelled the younger boy. This, though, was something the brunet could and would stop. Lambo was simply too young to willingly take him into danger.
He squatted in front of the Lightning. "I'm sorry, Lambo, but not this time." The boy looked about to throw one of his legendary tantrums when Tsuna added, while patting his afro. "When you're older and stronger, then you can come with your big brothers on missions, but for now, you should stay at home. Today, you have a mission of your own : make sure this place is protected, so we have a home to come back to once this is over."
The child was mollified and enthused at being entrusted with such an important task. He loudly proclaimed that Caeruleus would be fine, since it was under 'the great Lambo-san's protection'. Tsuna smiled fondly at his younger brother before addressing the others. "That's it, then. Kyoya, Hayato, Mukuro and me go back to Japan, while you guys hold the shop. We'll keep you updated so that you know when we're coming back."
There were still a few disgruntled faces (Kyoya's for instance), but nobody argued and the matter was closed. The four who would depart for Namimori left to pack their things. They didn't know how long they would stay in Japan, so they had to take a sizable bag each, even if they would stay at Kyoya's house. The place was isolated enough and defended by the servants, making it an ideal base of operations, out of yakuza or Vongola's reach.
Absently, Tsuna mused that taking Hayato and Mukuro with him would make Shoichi's job much easier. Those two and Kyoya were always the first to start a fight; with them gone, things should stay relatively peaceful in Caeruleus.
Of course, it would make his own job much harder.

After so long in Italy, the return to Japanese culture was jarring.
Tsuna sighed in relief at finally exiting the plane in one piece. The trip had been the most strenuous the brunet had ever experienced; cramming Kyoya, Hayato and Mukuro, his three most volatile friends, inside a closed metal structure and then letting said structure fly hundreds of meters in the sky had been a terrible idea. The Sky had had to mediate between the three during the whole flight to prevent them from crashing the plane.
He refused to think about the trip back to Italy at the moment.
The strain and the jet-lag had him exhausted when he arrived in the airport in Tokyo, and there was still roughly an hour of train before they reached Namimori. Since a train was barely better than a plane with his violent friends, he would have to stay awake again. Luckily, the first departure for his hometown left in four hours, leaving him some time for a much needed nap.
When they reached the crowded station, he located a bench, lied down on it and proceeded to rest his eyes. His friends could keep people at bay easily and would make sure nothing happened. They could sleep in the train if they really to, it would give Tsuna a rest as well.
