Ryuuichi's eyes snapped open suddenly. He blinked, trying to focus his sight on the shelves by the wall. His eyes shifted to the window and then the digital clock. It was already eight in the morning. If he didn't knew that it was a weekend today, he would definitely had jumped out of his bed in split seconds.

He pushed himself up, his blanket slid down to his lap. His shirt had rode up from all the shifting he had done in his sleep and his hair was a mess. He looked around his room once and yawned. 

'Oh right...' He reached over to the night stand and grabbed around for his phone.  He looked through his message log and sighed. Locking it up, he toss his phone onto the bed, grabbed a change of clothing from the wardrobe and went to the toilet. He almost hit himself on the door during the process. (He did stubbed his toe, however. He so do not need that kind of wake up call)

He bit his lower lips and took a deep breath. He walked downstairs and into the kitchen, the smell of coffee waking him up more. He stood by the door, watching as Sakura bustled around, making breakfast for them while Yuuichi helped and Kei laughing at some kind of joke that had being told. The atmosphere looked so light, so warm. Ryuuichi didn't have the heart to break it but he had to. 

Kei blinked, noticing his eldest son's presence. "Good morning, Ryuu." He smiled, but it faltered when he saw the hesitation in the teen. Sakura and Yuuichi's voice soon followed after his as Ryuuichi greeted them back, smiling softly. He moved from his spot on the counter that he was leaning against and went to Ryuuichi's side. "Come on, let's have breakfast together"

He knew that his wife and youngest son noticed something was wrong with Ryuuichi as well, but they said and did nothing other than a small frown of concern. They need him to open up himself. 

Ryuuichi nodded and let himself being pulled to the dining table. He sat down just as his mother set a cup of tea in front of him. He thanked her, to which she smiled in respond. Ryuuichi stayed silent soon after. He was debating on how to begin, somehow managed to berate himself in the process. They could see his turmoil, but patiently waited.

'Oh screw this.' "Umm.." They perked up immediately. "Can.. Can we all talk?" Nodding, they took their seat on the chairs. "Of course." 

Ryuuichi clenched his hands and released it, only to clench it again. "Right... First of all, there will be guests later." He started slowly. "And, I'm sorry, Mother, Father. But I think it's time to tell the truth." Sakura and Kei turned solemn, nervous even. Yuuichi frowned at that, not understanding a single thing. "What truth?"

None of them answered him as he demanded again. "What have you guys being hiding from me? Ryuuichi?" 

"Yuuichi.." He turned to his father and mother, who both sat in front of them. "We.. Your mother and I have something to tell you." His father wasn't looking at him. Why wasn't he looking at him? Yuuichi wanted to scream at them to just tell and stop the suspence when Sakura continued.

"We are mafiosi, Yuuichi." His eyes widen so large, almost as though it was going to bulge out. "W-what? What are you talking about?" 

"We're freelance assassins." That had his mind swirling. He never thought that his parents are members of the mafia, let alone killers. He just couldn't. The thought of them ending one's life just doesn't sit well. 'No...' He clutched his temple, trying to deny everything. He was waiting for one of them to yell that it was all a joke. He wanted all this to be a joke, but deep down, he knew that it wasn't. 

"You.. You knew?" He asked Ryuuichi. He scowled harder when his brother nodded as well. "Then you're in it as well?!" 

Ryuuichi could literally feel the rage emitting from his brother. He knew that he would be angry. Like, who wouldn't? He didn't condemn him for that though. After all, Yuuichi had all the right to be angry at them, more so on him. He looked into Yuuichi's eyes. "Yes." Suddenly, Yuuichi grabbed his collar and pulled him up, his chair pushed back. Kei and Sakura was alarmed as they tried to stop their youngest son, but was stopped by one look from Ryuuichi. 

"And you never told me?! Why?!" Ryuuichi looked at him calmly. His hands gently touched Yuuichi's. "Because it wasn't the time to." Yuuichi gritted his teeth, calming down more. He slowly lowered his hands. He muttered an apology and Ryuuichi squeezed his hands in return.

"I'll explain." Ryuuichi waited for Yuuichi to settle back down on his chair before continuing. "Mother and Father have been in the mafia before we are born. I, on the other hand, joined after Tsuna's tutor, Reborn, came." He ruffled his hair slightly. "About mother and father, I just knew that recently-" 

"Wait. Does that mean Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto are in the mafia as well?" Ryuuichi nodded. "Yes. I'm sure you briefly knows how mafia works, no? Well, Tsuna is the last living heir of one of the biggest famiglia named Vongola. Gokudera, Yamamoto, Hibari, Ryohei, Chrome Dokuro, Rokudo Mukuro and Lambo are his Guardians. Kozato Enma and the other transfer students from Shimon Middle are in the mafia as well, the Shimon Familgia with Enma as the boss.

"Mother and father are in the Cavallone Famiglia, runs by the current boss, Dino. And.. Dino's our distant cousin" If it was any other situation, he would had laughed out loud at the facial expression Yuuichi had. He then proceeded to explain that his disappearance was all because of the mafia, with him spectating. He explained everything that popped out of his mind and the Tri-Ni-Sette. He had somehow managed to confused himself in the process and was about to repeat when Yuuichi stopped him.

"What about you?" He blinked in surprise. "You mentioned about everything and everyone, but what about you?" 

"I.. I'm the Historian. Simply to say, I record things I see. Umm.." He then tried to make it as simple as possible, finding it hard to do so. When he finished, he waited for Yuuichi's respond. His brother's eyes were shadowed by his bangs, making it impossible for Ryuuichi to know whether he was angry, or too surprised.

"Yuu-!" He groaned and curled into a ball when Yuuichi suddenly punched him in the guts. Kei and Sakura, who had being silently listened to Ryuuichi's explanation, was surprised and with wide eyes, they stood up. Kei was about to move to Ryuuichi's side when Yuuichi spoke. 

"Never.." Ryuuichi looked up, wincing at the pain. "Never hide things from me again." He blinked when he noticed tear drops flowing down his brother's cheeks. He bit his inner cheeks and released a shaky breath. "You're not.. Angry at us?" 

"Of course I am!" Yuuichi yelled. "But I'm angry because you guys hid such a big thing from me!" Ryuuichi huffed out a small laugh of relief. He reached up and tugged Yuuichi into a tight embrace. "Sorry.." He said softly it as he felt his shirt getting wet. "Sorry.." He felt two more pairs of arms wrapped around them tightly. He noticed that his mother was crying as well and placed a hand on her's. 

He was getting uncomfortable on the chair that felt like it was going to break under the weight any time soon, but he did not move. He stayed at that position along with his family, basking in the comfort and love as the wounds and cracks that were created slowly healed. 

------------------------------------------------------------

A particularly loud sigh erupted from Ryuuichi's lips as he rubbed his temple. It was so noisy. Oh so noisy that he almost wanted to burn all of them up. And then there was a crash. He exploded. "Stop" All of them froze stiff and sat down on their respective places at that tone. They're all in the living room, with the twins, along with the guests, on the ground and his parents on the sofa. 

He sighed again. "Before anything.. Can I ask why are you guys here? I didn't remember inviting you." He looked pointedly at a certain Marshmallow Freak and a Hibari lookalike. He didn't meant to sound harsh, but he was already annoyed enough that the first thing Mukuro and Hibari did after arriving at his house at the same time, was initiate a bloody fight. (They ended up with a bruised cheek)

"How mean! I'm simply curious after all" He rolled his eyes at the whine. "I apologize for intruding, but yes. I'm curious as well" He sighed at that and shrugged.

He turned to Yuuichi, who was frowning at all of them and introduced them to him. "Yuuichi. You may know most of them but..." He gestured to Tsuna first. "The Vongola Tenth, or now the Neo Vongola Primo" Tsuna gawked. "H-how did you know?!" He sighed. "I'll explain later." He gestured to briefly to Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Hibari, Chrome and Mukuro. He mentioned to their post as Tsuna's Guardian, introducing Mukuro whom Yuuichi had never met before to him. 

At each second, they looked at him with a bewildered look as he continued. "Dino, the Cavallone Tenth." The said man looked absolutely taken aback. "Enma, the Shimon Tenth." Ryuuichi was very relief that the red head's guardians didn't decide to tag along, or he might just ended up committing homicide. He gestured to Reborn and Fon. "Reborn, the World's Strongest Hitman and Fon, the strongest Martial Artist. Both are one of the Ex-Arcobaleno" 

He gestured to Shoichi and Spanner. "Irie Shoichi and Spanner," Both nodded at him, but was confused and scared somehow. "The mechanics during the whole mayhem." He turned to Byakuran and huffed. "Byakuran. The boss of Gesso Family. Yuni, the boss of Giglio Nero Family and also one of the Ex-Arcobaleno." Yuni smiled. She knew why Ryuuichi was doing this and had supported his decision, which Ryuuichi was forever grateful for.

"Kyoko and Haru. Both whom only knew of the mafia recently." The girls smiled at him.

Yuuichi nodded slowly. He squeezed Ryuuichi's hands as the Ryuuichi spoke once again. "Thank you for coming and, I apologize in advance for bothering all of you" Ryuuichi struggled a moment, when Dino suddenly erupted. "Whoah wait-! Why are you-" He gave the blonde an exasperated look. "I decided to say, obviously."

He smiled softly and shook his head at Dino's flailing, actually grateful for the interuption. "Ryuuichi" He looked towards Reborn. "You've something to say, don't you?" 

"Ah. Yeah. Right." He shifted his fingers. "I bet all of you wondered why I knew of things and what would happen, right?" A collective hum of confirmation was heard and Ryuuichi could practically feel his parent's stare boring holes behind his head. (They didn't know anything about the shenanigans he went through other than a brief explanation to them and Yuuichi) "The thing is... Well... I have my previous life's memories..?" 

Silence fell as he panicked. "I- Well, Umm-" He gulped. "It's true, I've my past life's memories. And you guys are actually not real in my past life...?" Cue chaos. All of them couldn't really accept the last sentence. Like, they're there, real, in flesh and blood. Why wouldn't they be real?!

A gun shot was heard and everyone immediately shut up. "Quiet." Reborn menacingly said. "Explain more clearer." He turned to Ryuuichi. Honestly, he didn't believe it at first, but he knew Ryuuichi wasn't one to lie. Especially about this kind of things. 

"Thanks" Ryuuichi breathed out. "Um. So. In my previous world, all of you are anime characters. So basically, you guys aren't real there. And another fact. Namimori doesn't exist on the map of Japan in my previous world. It was unbelievable, I know. But it's true. It's kind of similar to how parallel worlds work..? There are many dimensions. This has something to do with the Historian, actually.

"All the Historians since the First are of the same soul. They transfer into a new vessel in this dimension, after their previous one dies. I don't have the memories of the First and the previous Historian though! Um.. So when it was my turn, according to the First, something went wrong? He himself didn't knew why as well.

"And I lived in my previous world for sixteen years before my soul could be transferred here. Well, you get my drift. I watched you guys, on TV, you guys as anime characters where the whole thing started off right on the day Reborn arrived here to tutor Tsuna, until the end of the Curse of the Rainbow. And that's... How I knew of things?"

Yuuichi was frowning. Ryuuichi had explained to him of the battles and all, but there was still a few things he couldn't understand. "So you mean you knew of our family stuff? Then why you-" He stopped when Ryuuichi shook his head vigorously. "No no. I don't. My interference, you, our family, none of this are in it. I don't even know what was our situation." Ah. That explained everything. Not. 

Ryuuichi sighed. "Which is why I never dared to interfere on things. I was afraid that things would go the way I don't know. Until I finally know the truth from Caelum. I.. I'm sorry for hiding things from you guys" He had his head bowed down. He was scared of their reaction now that they knew he could actually prevent things from happening. That he could prevent the happening of a lot of things. If they wanted to be angry at him for it, he didn't mind. They had all the rights to be.

Even if they wanted him to leave, or them leaving him.

"God, you're an idiot." A fist bonk his head. He blinked in surprise and looked up to see a frowning Gokudera. "What? Don't think I don't know that you're thinking that we'll leave you just because we're angry." Yamamoto suddenly popped beside him and pulled him into a tight side-way hug. "We won't, you know. We won't leave you just because of that" 

Tsuna smiled at that. "I got to agree, Ryuuichi. You're an idiot. We aren't angry. We're just a bit sad that you hide something so big from us. But then again, it was quite logical why you hide it." He moved nearer and patted the teen on the head. "Thank you, Ryuuichi. For letting all this happen." He grinned sheepishly. "If you didn't, I wouldn't even have grow. All of us wouldn't have grow" 

Ryuuichi's eyes were wide in surprise. He saw the others nodded in agreement with the brunette's words, minus Hibari and Mukuro, but they held the same sentimental. He was suddenly pulled to face Yuuichi. "BakaRyuu. Don't carry such a heavy burden by yourself next time." 

"Share it with all of us. Isn't that why we're a family?" Gokudera added. 

It was then when he felt the bond between everyone of them in the room. The bond he had with all of them. He let out a small laugh, the heavy boulder on his shoulder wasn't lifted, but was carried alongside with all of them. He felt lighter, relief and happy. A smile stretched across his lips as the noisy atmosphere came back.

"I..." They looked at him. "Than-" He choked. "Thank you.." He buried his face in his hands. 'Thank you so much for everything' 

Everyone exchanged a fond look, before they all poked the teen, laughing and shouting, all reverting back to their usual selves. Sakura and Kei let the youngsters mess around, watching by the sideline. They were very glad that their son has so many good friends that would aid him along the way. 

"Ah!" A loud crash was heard and suddenly, they were all in a pile, with Ryuuichi at the bottom. Yuuichi was on top of him, followed by Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Dino and Ryohei suddenly jumped onto the pile. Lastly, Byakuran sat on top of everyone. The rest laughed by the side, while Mukuro merely chuckled and Hibari scoffed. 

"God- You guys are heavy!!"

Honestly, all of them are such good people.

------------------------------------------------------------

Ryuuichi was carrying a tray of cups to the kitchen to refill them for the others. The smile that had plastered on him never dropped. Happiness had overwhelmed him too much. A sudden weight on his head made him blink, but did nothing to shook the infant off. "BakaRyuu"

He laughed at that. "Yeah"

Reborn shook his head in fond exasperation. He tugged at the hair lightly as Ryuuichi walked. 'Remember that you have all of us, BakaRyuu. Don't hide from us.' Ryuuichi didn't need to hear those words to know what Reborn was implying. He smiled a bit wider at that. 'I know. Thank you'

"And when are you going to tell us that you were once a girl?" Ryuuichi slipped.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Hibari." The said prefect tilted his head to look at the one who called him and turned back up after a glance, looking at the clouds drifting. A sigh was heard, but he paid no heed. There was a few rustling and all, and Ryuuichi managed to climb up the roof, sitting beside him.

"When did you climbed up here?" He grunted and closed his eyes. The rest are too noisy for his liking and the scene had practically screamed 'crowding'. As much as he wanted to bite all of them to death, he knew that he couldn't. He does not want to risk himself into getting screamed by Ryuuichi after all. (That, and Ryuuichi's parents were there. He would be practically nothing if he wasn't respectful towards them. If they were anyone other than Ryuuichi's parents, on the other hand, he wouldn't give them a single damn and just go his merry way.)

(And no, he wasn't afraid of Ryuuichi's scolding. He found it very annoying. That's all)

Ryuuichi chuckled. He lied down on the roof, shifting until he found a comfortable position and stayed there. They both stayed like that for who knows how long, one watching the cloud drift while one simply bask in the comfortable silence. There was no other words exchanged, for they felt as though their feelings connected.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N= Okay. I got to be honest here. I'm not satisfied with this chapter. Yes, I am happy, but somehow, I'm not really satisfied. So, I decided to write random ones. It's connected, just that I couldn't find a good place to put it.In addition, since there's too much character and I'm not good at writing so many at once, I decided to break it up into another part. And here's the moment when they found out that Ryuuichi was once a girl.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What?!" Ryuuichi winced, rubbing his sore . He was glad that he had placed the tray on the kitchen counter before Reborn spoke. He tilted his head up and bent back to look at the crowd by the door. "Why are you guys eavesdropping?!" He groaned. Yuni giggled at the scene as Ryuuichi groaned again. "Did you told Reborn about this, Yuni? Why?" She laughed.

"Because it seems fun"

"Wait, are you serious?" He flushed and ruffled his hair. He looked away, nodding. "Yeah" Sakura immediately wriggled into the kitchen, squealing as she wrapped him in a tight hug. "I've always wanted a daughter! Now I can dress you up!" "Mother, no!!" Yuuichi was so flabbergasted that he was literally frozen. The memories of the time he and Ryuuichi bathed together played in his mind. And then at his mother's words, weird, unthinkable imaginations hit him like a truck. And, he suddenly fell onto the ground like an unstable log.

Kei chuckled at his wife's antics, but he himself was in shock. The last thing he had expected was that his older son was once a girl.The fact that Ryuuichi has past life memories was mind blowing enough, he honestly didn't need another. And it seemed like Yuuichi agreed with him as the younger twin fell, mumbling incoherent words under his breath as though he had just seen a ghost or something.

Kyoko and Haru turned red, especially Haru's since she remembered Ryuuichi talking about a certain things. And then there was a mischievous glint. If given the chance, they would certainly help Sakura dress him up. (The giggled to themselves evilly and Ryuuichi outright shivered right there, right then) Chrome on the other hand, merely flushed more than usual. She exchanged looks with Yuni, before smiling softly.

Mukuro chuckled menacingly as his mind filled up with the illusions he would make just to tease Ryuuichi. (Sometimes later, he would stop. With a fist in the face. Not) (And sometimes later, he would join force with Byakuran, whom both ended up in the hospital for a month)

Gokudera, well, had the same reaction as Yuuichi's. His soul practically flew out. Figuratively of course. Too much surprise for him as well. Yamamoto laughed nervously, but everyone noticed that he was blushing hard. For what reason, they somehow did not want to know. Tsuna gawked. He then shrieked in embarrassment when the memories of the time he found the older Ryuuichi hot, replayed in his mind like a broken record. Ryohei, Spanner and Shoichi wasn't doing any better, honestly.

Dino. That blonde Cavallone boss flipped. He so do not need to know that he (Not him, his future self. But the memories were there) had literally being half naksjdred before in front of Ryuuichi and was the one blushing like a teenager when Ryuuichi was the one who is a teenager. Can his life just get any better.

And Hibari. Well, his eyes just widen. Like, widen. No words could describe how Hibari felt inside though. Surprised, relief, confusion, dumbfound, all of it. It just all jumbled up into a ball of tangled crap. However, when he collected his thoughts, a smirk found it way onto his lips.

"Ah! That means you like guys? We'll support you! Just remember to adopt, alright?" "Mother!!" His smirk couldn't stretch any wider.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N= Sooooo, how was it? Btw, an Add in here because I couldn't find a good spot to place it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuuichi was angry. He was sad. He was wretched. His heart honestly couldn't take it. He doesn't know how cruel the world of the mafia, but he definitely know that it wasn't a nice place. He doesn't need to experience it first hand to know that it was unworldly there, and he never had the intention to experience it. He had no interest in this kind of bloody world and never had the thought of his family being in them. 

But his parents are the mafia. His brother is the mafia. 

They saw the cruelty he had never saw. They experienced the feeling of being at the edge of a cliff, and the feeling of pushing someone of the cliff. They're tainted.

Yet, he couldn't find the urge to hate them. He couldn't find the need to scream bloody murder at them, and probably cut ties with them. No. He couldn't. He love them too much. He just couldn't. 

Instead, he felt miserable and livid that they hide such things from him for so long. That they carried all that burden by themselves. He wanted to know. He wanted to share their burden. It's unfair how they didn't want him to carry it. It's definitely infuriating when they still didn't reveal all of it. 

But he would wait. He would wait until they tell him everything. And until then, he'll share their burden, aid them in carrying the heavy pile of crap. (Later on, he would understand more on their decision as he himself gained his own share of heavy burden. Later on, Ryuuichi would bonk him in his head when everything backfired and demand him to tell them, like how he demanded his brother to tell him now. Have he mentioned how much he love his family?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N= *laugh nervously* It's.. weird? Oh well.

Fun Fact= Yuuichi actually didn't mind that his parents and Ryuuichi, and the others, are killers. He knows that they wouldn't kill just for the sake of it, and that being in the mafia, it is impossible for one not to kill, accidentally or not.

Fun Fact= When night falls, Yuuichi and Ryuuichi slept together again, with Yuuichi demanding Ryuuichi to tell him all the miscellaneous stuff about his past life. Yuuichi learned to never question Ryuuichi's sense of humor, which is dark, and weird. Oh, and they didn't sleep at all, actually. 

Fun Fact= Ryuuichi and Reborn somehow, in the chaos, managed to become best friends. Tsuna and Dino had never feared for their own lives so much before. 

Fun Fact= All of them learned that Ryuuichi actually have a really short temper, but is really good at hiding it and tends to forget about it after a while, unless he burst first, that is.

I wanted to write more about Sakura, Kei, Dino and Hibari, but well, I couldn't think of anything else better to write other than Sakura and Kei being afraid of Yuuichi's reaction, Dino wasn't pleasantly surprised by all that and Hibari was pleasantly surprised by all that. I couldn't smile any more bigger on Hibari's part. (My cheeks hurt so much sheesh)

Fun Fact= Fon soon established an understanding with Ryuuichi on how Hibari tends to be bratty sometimes. And how Reborn can be a wacko (most of the time). (Ryuuichi earned a flying kick on his head while Fon got aimed by a shot, but was dodge)

Fun Fact= Dino and Yuuichi became the exasperated duo on Ryuuichi's antics, but Yuuichi was more of it rather than Dino because Dino himself is a dorky crap as well (lol)

Welps. Too many fun facts here lol. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
