Luca's breathing had become short and ragged. Taking the fox woman's attack like that left him in a bad way. Coupled with the overall stress of the last few minutes the young heir seemed to be in worse shape than he was. Luca tensed reflexively feeling Yuki wrap her arms around him. His breathing did calm slightly but he was still unstable. Fon watched Luca closely. He sighed with the fact the worst case scenario had occurred. [color=red]"Please calm down Vongola..."[/color] Luca raised his head to look at the infant. [color=orange]"I-I'm not...I can't be...y-you've got the wrong person-ngh!"[/color] Talking came with some pain due to his distressed state not making his injury any better.

Meanwhile, Shi continued to kick back and bust out a bottle of booze. [color=fff79a]"I think it is time for a proper conversation."[/color] Fon escaped from Asuka's arms and made his way toward Luca.[color=red]"If you'll wait a moment I do believe the young Von-Luca is having trouble focusing. Maybe a tad more restraint was in order, Miss Volkov."[/color] The infant smirked with slight amusement though he was more serious than sarcastic. [color=red]"If you'll allow me~"[/color] Fon politely asked Yuki to move away from Luca so he could offer his assistance. The Arcobaleno moved closer to Luca as the blonde his head to look at him. [color=red]"Luca, I'm going alleviate some of your pain but I'll first need to to sit up."[/color] Luca stared at Fon for a moment. Finally, he nodded and started to move, wincing from the pain. Somehow, he believed that out of everyone here this [b]baby[/b] knew what he was doing. Coming to a sitting position Luca sighed in relief. For smiled. [color=red]"Now hold still~"[/color] The in took his index and middle fingers and began striking at Luca's pressure points. In only a couple of seconds Fon was finished. Luca's eyes popped open in surprise. The pain almost completely disappeared and his breathing had just about returned to normal. Not only that but he felt considerably more relaxed. [color=orange]"Ah...wow. [i]G-Grazie[/i]."[/color]

For smiled and nodded before returning to Asuka and hopping back into her arms. Once he was settled he looked to Shi. [color=red]"You may continue~"[/color] Luca's eyes drifted from Fon to Shi. He wasn't sure he wanted to hear what else she had to say but he didn't feel it right to just leave. He gulped as the fox started to explain in detail why they were all here.

[h3]The Morning After The Festival[/h3]
The morning sun shone through the window and onto a wide awake Luca, his hair down to just above his shoulders. He sat up in his bed having barely slept after the events of last night.

[color=fff79a][I]It's as simple as this...the Vongola is most respected and strongest mafia organization in the world. Luca Yuuki, you have chosen by the tenth boss to become Vongola Undicesimo, the eleventh. The rest if you are candidates to be Luca's Guardians..."[/I][/color] 

Luca gripped his sheets. He was supposed to be the boss of a mafia family, the leader? What kind of twisted joke was this!? The mafia part was bad enough but they also wanted him to be the boss. That was insane...it was impossible...

[color=fff79a][I]"You all have 24 hours to think about what I've told you tonight. If you want move forward and learn what it means to be a Vongola Guardian then meet on the roof of Namimori middle. If not then...you'll have to be eliminated along with the knowledge you've obtained tonight...kidding~ Your affiliation with the Vongola will be as non-existent as it was a few hours ago."[/I][/color]

After that everyone went their separate ways. Yuki helped Luca home due to his cracked ribs...wait. The teen lifted his shirt,and looked himself over. Fon had helped with the pain but that should of only been a temporary fix. Luca should still need treatment but now there was no pain at all. Pushing on his ribs didn't even elicit a flinch. What...? Speaking of Fon, the infant had left with Asuka, asking if he could stay with at her place. She made cute little squeal before agreeing. Luca just hoped he wasn't trying persuade her into all this. Probably not, he didn't seem like the type of person to do that. As usual he couldn't tell what Hideaki was thinking as he left and the green haired kid looked more lost than any of them. The other two, Ren and that Sam guy, even though were revealed to have mafia relations by Shi's little test seemed surprised to hear about their roles in this as well though not as much. Mafia relations...Yuki left his house with a really solemn look.

[color=6ecff6]"Sorry..."[/color]

Luca gazed lacrosse th room at a picture frame. It had a roughed up scarf wrapped around its base as the light shone onto the picture. [color=orange]"What should I do...?"[/color] He said dropping his head as his hair shadowed his face.
