"Irie-sama.  The cameras show no disturbances."
A redhead pushed his glasses up as he glanced at the tanned rosette behind him, making a small frown appear on his face.
"I see..." 'Takehito-san, your plan better work!'
Shoichi grabbed his stomach in pain while keeping a cool face on the outside.
"Keep checking though.  I don't want any mistakes to be made."
"Yes, Irie-sama."

<<(With Tsuna and the Others)>>
"Hiiieee!"
"Calm down to the EXTREME, Tachibana!  I won't cut you!"
Takehito relaxed somewhat as Ryohei used his scalpel to heal a small cut on the blonde's arm from the fight with Dendro.
Tsuna was watching over Lal, putting a hand on her forehead as he frowned.
"You're burning up."
The bluenette gave an exasperated sigh as she swatted the hand away.
"It's none of your concern, Sawada."
Tsuna lifted an eyebrow before poking the other in the forehead; Lal stared at the brunet incredulously.
"That's not nice to care for me when I can't do the same for you, Lal."
The bluenette scoffed, blushing slightly.
"...You and my stupid student are just the same, Sawada..."
Tsuna's gaze softened when he saw Lal's eyes glaze over in pain; he sighed softly as he placed a hand on her head.
Lal blinked in surprise when she felt her energy returning to her; she narrowed her gaze sharply at the brunet.
"Sawada!  Don't--!"
"Lal.  You're important to me.  I won't leave a family member behind."
Tsuna's eyes were a sky, blue as he fed Rain flames to Lal's body; she was stunned into silence at the pained look in his eyes.
Please don't make me lose another one dear to me.
Lal didn't argue anymore as she felt her energy get replenished.
'Sawada...you always did hide something from us...'
~~
"I-I'll lead the Gola M-Mosca away."
"Tachibana!"
Lal glared sharply at Hito, but the blonde didn't falter; Hayato looked worriedly at him.
"Juudaime...it's too dangerous to go alone!"
An arm was slung around Hito as a certain brunet grinned brightly.
"...And that's why I'll go with him~!"
Hito blinked in surprise as he floundered his arms around frantically.
"B-But S-Sawada-Sensei--!"
"No~buts~!"
"I-I don't want you to get h-hurt..."
Tsuna chuckled and ruffled the teen's hair.
"Then I won't get hurt.  Trust me."
Hito widened his eyes before smiling softly.
"...Okay..."
Tsuna grinned as he waved to the rest of the group.
"You guys stay safe, yeah?"
Lal huffed and crossed her arms; there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Be careful, Sawada, Tachibana."
"Good luck to the EXTREME!"
"Haha, stay safe, Hito, Tsuna-Sensei."
"Juudaime!  We will pray for your safety!" He looked at Tsuna and blushed slightly. "Y-You stay safe too, Sawada-Sensei..."
Tsuna grinned and playfully ruffled silver locks, ignoring the glare that was sent at him.
"We'll be going then...buona fortuna." (Good luck.)
