[ Alright so someone finally woke up for longer than five minutes, and there's a lot of shifting and muffled cursing as he, of course, grabs immediately for the nearest painkiller aka bottle of Jack Daniels out of the fortress of empty ones. Glass clinks. Swearing in Italian. ]

Colonello. You stupid sonofabitch. How could you--

[ a sharp, pained intake of breath. and then so quiet it's hardly audible: ]

...how could you.

...

Spike, I have to go. Sorry for the mess on your doorstep.

Dr. Crescent-- if I could ask for another favor.

So why'd you do it?

If you're that guy's friend, then--

[And you gave him back the ring, so. Really, what was the point?]

[Private to Yamamoto-- Text.]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

I thought I told you very clearly why I did it.

And I'm not his friend. Not anymore.

[Private to Gamma-- Text.]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

Haa.

You're lying.


...Why'd you do it.

[Private to Yamamoto-- Text.]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

If you think that, I'll just have to go out of my way to prove it sometime.

...

What does the name Giglio Nero mean to you, schoolboy?

[Private to Gamma from hereon in unless otherwise stated -- Also, Text.]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

The family that joined with the Gesso, right?

[He'd done his homework, been filled in.]

Your family.

[Private//Text]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

[ gritting his teeth ]

My family.

And do you know why that merger happened?

[Private//Text]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

No.

[Admitted.]

[Private//Text]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

Ask him.

[Private//Text]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

Ask who-?

[He pauses.

Oh. Him.

Haha, between Gamma and Mukuro, he'll pass on giving Tsuna a heart attack.]

Or you could tell me. Why you're fighting with someone you don't like, against the people who are you friends.

Why you did all that. It wasn't like the first time, y'know?

[Because really, even in battle, it had been bugging him.]

[Private//Text]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

I was given to him. Three Guardians from the Gesso, three from the Giglio Nero.

That was the agreement he made with the Giglio Nero boss.

[Private//Text]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

Huh...? Ah.

But why would your Boss sign you up for someone you don't wanna work for? Maa, why would anyone trust someone like that, anyway...

Doesn't make sense.

[Even he can see that.]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

Do you think refusing was an option?

[Private//Text]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Private//Text]

[blackfoxed.livejournal.com]

Then you don't understand what it means to be a Guardian.

We were betrayed. The Princess had been a civilian child only three months before she had to take over leadership, the Gesso were already too powerful to be ignored and ready to crush us, and no one came to our rescue. The great and powerful Vongola famiglia did nothing. The Arcobaleno did nothing for the daughter of one of their own.

She went to Byakuran alone in order to save us.

Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand.

[And it's good, now, that this is all text, because he's annoyed, and it's impossible to hear it. Or maybe not;]

If Tsuna went in alone, for all our sakes... we wouldn't throw that back in his face, and join someone who asked of us the exact opposite of what he'd wanted. To hurt innocent people, and to rough up other families. To mess up guys for information. Just because alliances change... doesn't mean the team you're loyal to does.

For some of us, anyway.

Maa. But I guess you're too old to remember that.

Or maybe your Princess was okay with that sort of thing.

Either way, you're wrong.

You're the one who didn't do anything.

[ oh yamamoto he'll kill you for that ]

Kid.

I really don't give a flying fuck about your opinion. You don't have any idea and if I were a kinder person, I would say that I hope you never will, but I'm not. I don't think I'd mind if Byakuran took your Sawada Tsunayoshi into his office and returned him a dead-eyed, mind controlled puppet, so you could decide whether it was better to kill him, put him out of his misery, or run away and abandon him.

By the way, if you ever say anything like that about Uni Giglio Nero ever again, I will find you and I will gut you. Okay?

[Private//Text]

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

If you don't care what I say, then don't get bent out of shape, right?

Haa. And that's exactly why you're a member of the Millefiore, I guess. And not of whoever the Giglio Nero were. Hoping for the worst and letting other people do the job for you...

Saa, okay. Then don't worry, we will.

I'll try not to forget again that you've got that uniform on for good, haha.

[And he hopes that gets under your skin, at least a little, Gamma. Because this is what you did to his elder self, right? Found something happier, a safer time, and picked at the seams, to agitate him.

Except, stupid as Yamamoto is, he knows he's right on this one, and that you were wrong.]
