Magical Mafia

It had been a couple of days since Hibari and Sentoki talked and the raven-haired teen was a bundle of nerves. Every time he tried to get Tsuna alone to confess, they were interrupted, this time it was by Reborn.

Sentoki huffed and grumbled under his breath, making Reborn arch a brow at him. "Ganini wants us all in the conference room. We've got a call from Italy. He put it on hold until we all get there." Tsuna nodded to him and the two boys followed the mini-hitman to where Ganini was.

When they got there, Ganini hit a button and the giant screen came to life. "VOOOOOOIIIII! How much fucking longer am I going to be put on fucking hold you shitty brats?!" Squalo shouted angrily.

Sentoki sent the man on the screen a glare. "Tone it down will ya… bloody Sharky!" he growled lowly, annoyed at being interrupted… again.

"Fucking Brit! Shut the fuck up! Oi! Blond Brit! Your friend is being fucking annoying!" Squalo shouted out to someone off screen, visibly annoyed. Sentoki glared at the screen as Squalo gave them the message he had called for and the blond who called himself a Prince got into a fight with Squalo as Draco's face appeared on the screen.

"Hey there Scarhead. Long time no see~ you're as volatile as ever I see." Draco grinned. "Seeing as it has only been a few years for you, congrats on the biggest prank in Hogwarts' history. I heard the news~ congrats and stop being a bloody Puff!" Draco scolded and cut the connection.

Sentoki shot Hibari a glare and gave the older prefect a low growl. The others gave the two a confused look and Reborn arched a brow when he noticed that Tsuna was blushing. The cursed hitman grinned deviously and lept up to Hibari's shoulder. "I do believe you and I need to talk~"

Sentoki paled and gave them a horrified look. "Tsuna, let's go spar!" he exclaimed, dragging the obviously flustered and slightly confused teen away. Once in the training room, Sentoki cast every locking and privacy spell he knew at the door. He sighed softly in relief and shuddered a bit. "I'm so glad my dad is not here… He'd just make things worse!" he huffed and looked over at his friend, knowing the others were at the door, trying and failing to listen in.

Tsuna looked at him shyly, knowing what was coming. Ever since he had overheard that conversation, he'd been on edge, thinking about his own feelings and Sentoki's. He'd come to terms with being gay and was thrilled his best friend felt the same way.

Sentoki cleared his throat nervously and conjured chairs before he sat down. "Um... um... Tsuna... I've... I've actually been wanting to talk to you and tell you something for now. I've been scared to though... but um..." he stopped and took calming breaths before he continued, "I'm gay and in love with you..." There, he had finally said it. He didn't make eye contact as he spoke, too nervous and shy to.

Tsuna stared at him in surprise, shocked that he had actually confessed. He shifted nervously and bit his lip. "I... I know, well... I know because I'm gay too..." he admitted as Sentoki looked up at him. Tsuna shyly bent forward and nervously kissed his now boyfriend. "I... I like you too. A lot."

Sentoki beamed brightly and he blushed hotly at the kiss. He sighed in relief and pulled Tsuna close. "We don't have to do anything you don't want to. We can take it slow. We do have the rest of our lives." He unlocked the door and grinned as the other guardians tumbled in, landing in a pile. Tsuna stared at them all in shock and turned bright pink. Sentoki simply grinned at them and rolled his eyes. "Nosy people. Learn anything interesting?" he asked with a smirk, knowing they hadn't thanks to the spells.

Everyone sulked and went back to their training, and only Gokudera, Takeshi, Hibari and Sentoki stayed behind. Hibari smirked at them knowingly. "
About damned time you two. Tsuna, get ready, our next sparing session starts soon." Sentoki stood to the side as he watched the spar and froze as Tsuna became locked in a sphere and he moved forward to help his boyfriend out. "Wait Sentoki, Tsuna will be fine."

Sentoki glared at the man and crossed his arms in an attempt to resist pranking him. "You really think I care about that at the moment Birdie? Tsu is stuck there with very little air!" he went to continue but was interrupted by the sound of something shattering and he turned to see Tsuna standing there with a new emblem on his gloves and a purer flame on his brow.

Sentoki sighed in relief and huffed as he went to continue his own training, leaving Tsuna in Hibari's hands... for now... Reborn and Takeshi also left for their own training and Gokudera went back to the library to work on his own as well. As the rest of the group split up, Tsuna and Hibari continued to spar.

It was a few days later when an adult Ryohei joined them in the underground base with a slightly wounded Chrome in his arms. Sentoki tended to her and sighed softly in relief. He glanced at the snow-white owl laying next to Chrome on her pillow and he rolled his eyes. "As vain as ever I see Mukuro..." he muttered before leaving the room.

The group now at the moment was taking a break from sparing and eating a wonderful dinner prepared by the girls. "This is fantastic ladies! I really need to give you girls a break every now and then!" Sentoki praised, gaining nods of agreement from the others. He spotted some Ongiri that were slightly messed up and he smiled slightly. He took a couple and ate them, hiding a cringe at the slight over saltiness of them. He knew that despite the slight over salty taste, they were quite good. "These Ongiri are quite good Chrome, well done." he complemented, earning a blush from the girl. "Thank you Kuro-sama." Chrome mumbled shyly.

A couple days went past and the girls went on strike, demanding to be told what was going on. Sentoki rolled his eyes at Ryohei's over-protectiveness and sighed, making meals for everyone, including the girls. By the end of the week, Sentoki was tired and low on energy, barely getting any sleep due to doing the chores and his training. He glared at Ryohei and growled lowly, having had been surviving on mostly Pepper Up potions. He tiredly poked at his food, as the group of males sat in the kitchen, eating dinner. "Ryohei, if you don't tell the girls, then I will myself! I'm running myself ragged here! I'm doing the cooking, the cleaning, laundry all of it on top of training! I can't keep up like this and I can't keep taking pepper ups! They will find out the truth eventually anyways! You can't always be there to protect them! They may be women, but they are very strong. And when you piss one of them off, you piss them all off and they become bloody scary!" he ranted, looking as worn out and tired as he felt. "I can't keep taking Pepper Ups. You know this Ryohei! I KNOW my future self taught you about potions and how to use them."

Ryohei looked down and sighed softly. "I do know... I'm sorry guys... especially you Sentoki..." the boxer sighed again and looked at them all. "Okay, we can tell them the truth.

The next day, Tsuna pulled the girls to the side and told them everything, not sugar coating anything. The day was getting closer when the boys had to go to the Milfiore base. "Haru, I appreciate your feelings but I can't return them. I'm in love with someone else and no it is not Kyoko, I'm gay." he told her as he looked down, feeling bad for not telling them sooner. He had also told Kyoko he was gay.

Haru giggled at the last part and smiled at him. "I knew you were Tsuna, I could tell... from the time of that sumo contest or whatever it was..." she told him with a bright smile. "Sentoki had better treat you right or I am going to kick his butt!" she declared with a slight sniffle.

Tsuna blushed hotly and beamed brightly. "Um... Thank you Haru. Kyoko said the same thing and understood as well. Once all this is over, I'll take you all to the amusement park. I promise it." Haru grinned at him and hugged him before the girls went back to work, doing the chores and the other things.

By the end of the boycott, Sentoki was very tired but he kept up with his training, working with his flames. Tsuna was checking on everyone's training and had saved Sentoki for last. When the brunette peeked in, Sentoki had finally mastered his flame and had a new attack. Sentoki grinned brightly as he as his flame exploded from his hands quite like his magic did when he was extremely upset.

Tsuna squeaked and had to duck quickly, finding himself sprawled on the floor with a panicked Sentoki rushing forward to check him over. "Tsu! I'm sorry! Are you okay?" he asked in worry as he checked Tsuna over for any burns, bruises or cuts. "Tomorrow... that's the day of the joint attack on the Milfiore."

Tsuna nodded and sat up as he grinned at Sentoki. "I'm fine Sen. And yeah it is... I'm worried about everyone though... So worried I couldn't really concentrate on the spar with Hibari." he said quietly. He was hushed by a kiss, causing him to blush.

"Tsuna, everyone has been training real hard. We are going to be okay." Sentoki said softly, pulling the teen into a hug as he sighed and looked around. "I know we won't escape without some wounds, but we will be alright. Now, let's go get some lunch." he grinned and led the way to the kitchen.

The rest of the group was already there, tired and hungry. Haru and Kyoko cooked up a quick meal for everyone and Reborn gave everyone the rest of the day off. Most of the group retired to their rooms to sleep. Sentoki went to the library, hoping to find information on the Arcobaleno curse and the tri-ni-set. He looked at his ring and started when he saw the crest for Peverell. He made a mental note to talk with the goblins when they got back to the past.

As Sentoki hunted the library, a cat with storm flames came running in and pounced on him, startling him a bit. He blinked in surprise as he spotted the flames. "A Storm Cheetah? Hey there little guy. What are you doing here?" he murmured to the cub and looked up as Gokudera came running in, panting.

"Sorry Sentoki! He ran off… I tried putting him back into his box…" Gokudera grinned sheepishly as he spoke, face covered in scratch marks, lifting up the belt of boxes.

Sentoki rolled his eyes and chuckled softly. "It is alright Gokudera. Did you know this Cheetah cub is classed as a magical animal?" He grinned as Gokudera's eyes widened. "These beautiful animals are very volatile and have a lot of personality. They choose their masters. And this little cutie looks like to have chosen you… he seems to like you." Sentoki continued with a laugh as the cub attacked Gokudera's face again.

Sentoki shook his head in amusement and sighed softly as he watched the silverette leave with the cub and he looked down at the book he had been reading. He closed the book and rubbed his temples with a groan. "There's nothing here either!" he sulked and put his head in his arms. As he closed his eyes, he heard an adult voice in his mind.

The teen twitched in annoyance and went to his mindscape. He was expecting a younger Mukuro, not the adult version that greeted him. He blinked in surprise and eyed him. "Hello Mukuro, what a surprise. I am kind of busy at the moment though." He rubbed is eyes with another sigh.

Mukuro grinned deviously. "Well hello to you too Harry Potter. I'm well and you?" he teased with a bigger grin. "I can't reach my dear Nagi. Consider me surprised when I got in touch with a younger you instead." He smirked and arched a brow. "I must thank you though. All those Nutrition Potions you slipped me has worked wonders. I was and am still being fed through a tube…"

Sentoki blinked and stared at him in surprise. He shrugged it off with a sigh. He looked down and rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. "You're welcome. What did you want? Besides to thank me. And I also have a question for you. Do you know anything about the Arcobaleno and curse and the Tri-ni-set?" he asked hopefully.

Mukuro chuckled and sighed. "I wanted to show you something. There is a machine in the Milfiore base that Shoichi Irie has been guarding rather zealously. Only his two body guards know about it." Mukuro showed him the machine of circles and he sighed. "It is a time machine. I've possessed one of secretaries in the main base and have been gathering intel and sending it to Ganini. So far I haven't been discovered… thankfully." He paused here and looked at the teen.

"That machine is why you guys can't return to the past. And as for the Arcobaleno curse, I know a little. The Tri-ni-set is a set of objects. One is the Vongola rings, another is the Mare rings, and finally you have the Arcobaleno. The strongest Seven in the world, cursed in baby form to wield pacifiers." The man finished.

Sentoki soaked in the information and he sighed softly. He looked at the man and sighed softly. He looked at him and shifted. "Thank you Mukuro. I'd best return to the waking world before Tsu finds me asleep in the library." With that Sentoki left his mind and instantly wrote everything down.
