Hi people, this is my first attempt at a KHR fanfiction with this account, hope it goes well.
I live in Australia, so I may spell words differently than others, and there might be some wrongly spelled words in there since I don't use Microsoft Word/spell check, so please deal with it. Also my tenses are just fabulous, so please deal with that as well...
I do not own KHR or any characters in it (except for OCs in this fanfic)
Anything that I haven't said, please deal with it.
Thanks.
CHAPTER 1. Emergency Meeting
Tsuna sat in the room, silent.
Beside him, Reborn's eyes are covered by the edge of his hat, but everyone can tell that he's being unusually serious, since what just happened is forcing everyone in the tenth generation Vongola family to pay close attention.
The guardians each had complex and frustrated look on their faces. Well, maybe except for Hibari, Ryohei and Lambo. Ryohei was frowning furiously while Hibari stood in silence, his back against one of the walls. And Lambo is...sleeping.
'Oi, Tsuna.'
Reborn's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence and for a moment releasing everyone's tension. They've been in this grave silence thing for too long, someone needs to speak, but no one knows what to say, so fortunately Reborn took the role.
'Yes Reborn...?'
Tsuna answered in a tired voice, his hands clasped against each other and placed on his forehead. He had a look of fatigue in him, and the air around him also felt solemn. But then, everyone is worn out.
'What do you think happened back there.'
Says Reborn in a statement-y tone, thinks Tsuna.
'Reborn-san, I...I think that...we were attacked by...another mafia family.'
Gokudera answers in the place of Tsuna, noticing the obvious pause and slight tremble of their beloved Jyuudaime. But his answer itself isn't that great as well, since he as well have doubts and is afraid to say clearly what he think.
Reborn pulled on the edge of his hat, the serious look he had still isn't gone.
'Yes, and you think that the one that attacked us is the first Vongola boss, Giotto.'
Everyone in the room gave a slight tremble as Reborn said the first boss's name, all except Hibari. Hibari's face got darker and the aura around him became tense.
'Reborn-san! I didn't mean to...I'm sorry...'
Gokudera stuttered as his mind was read out by Reborn, blushing in an attempt to hide his true feelings.
'It's alright, everyone here probably thinks the same thing, it's just a matter of who says it. But I can definitely tell you that it's true, what you saw wasn't a hologram, illusion or dirty tricks. Even as much as I don't want to admit it, that is the one and only Primo, Giotto Vongola.'
Without allowing for interference, Reborn finished his sentence in one go, then he remained silent to allow time for the truth to sink in.
The room exploded.
'But how is it possible?!'
'Isn't the Primo supposed to be dead to the extreme?!'
'Even if he wasn't why would he attack us, his family!'
'Reborn!'
The last cry came from a helpless Tsuna, straining to shout over the voices of all his guardians.
'If you know what's happening, then please explain it to us!'
Hearing this, Reborn dropped his chin and didn't speak for a moment.
'If I know what's happening, I wouldn't be here with you lot of people trying to figure out what has happened. I would have already sent you off to try and solve the problem.'
Reborn looked around the room at everyone's worried faces, and lastly turned to Chrome.
Sensing this, Mukuro put his hand gently onto Chrome's shoulder to give her more assurance.
'Chrome, you are the only one that knows how this started, tell us in detail exactly what happened. Keep in mind this is important, so don't leave out any details.'
Chrome nodded, her eyes watery and her voice trembled.
'I was playing with Lambo in the training rooms...'
'Wahahahahaha, Lambo-sama is the king of the world!'
A childish voice rang out in the near empty training room of the Vongola base beneath the Namimori Shrine, echoing down the corridors of the vast and empty architecture.
Lambo ran around the room screaming happily at the top of his lungs. I-pin had went to visit Fon, the storm Arcobaleno and her master. Kyoko and Haru were cooking dinner in the kitchen for everyone, so only Lambo and Chrome were left, and being the gentle kind girl Chrome was, she just couldn't say no when Lambo looked up at her with teary eyes and a coarse voice telling her that he wants to play.
So they ended up in this room.
'Lambo, slow down...'
Chrome called out lightly in a soft voice, worried that the little hitman might trip and hurt himself.
To be expected, Lambo tripped as soon as she had spoken, forcing the girl to walk over and help the kid up. Chrome sighed, but she really wasn't at all annoyed or tired. She was just happy that the child didn't hurt himself.
Then, a loud bang came from the wall behind Chrome, and it exploded in a shower of dust and rocks.
Chrome shielded the little boy behind her from the explosion, so that the rocks and dust hit her instead of Lambo.
Is this an illusion?
Chrome liked to think that this is just all a prank played to her by Muk uro, but he's out on a mission right now, and the sound of the alarm wailing in her ears told her that this is all real. After all, the alarm wasn't going to go off just because of an illusion.
'Hyaahh, Chrome, are you okay?'
Lambo looked up from Chrome's arms and shouted in a worried tone. He received a silent nod.
Chrome coughed amidst the dust and looked towards the now wall-less part of the room. She couldn't see very much, since the dust got into her eyes and covered most parts of the room. But it was enough for Chrome to notice the bright sky flame burning in front of her, and the black silhouette of a man. No, teenager.
'Boss...?'
This is what Chrome first thought. She thought that it was Sawada Tsunayoshi, the person whom she and everyone around her holds dear, and so she wondered why this person had exploded the room. But then Chrome noticed a familiar feeling, the same feeling she got before she was possessed by Daemon when she thought he was Mukuro, this uncomfortable and cold feeling.
Then she saw a blur of gold, and Chrome sagged, the world spinning around her.
'Chrome!'
She heard Lambo's cries, and she felt herself collapse on the floor. Her internal organs disappeared, leaving her body in a state of chaos. The person that exploded the wall just attacked her, and she didn't even see it coming. How?
'Chrome, are you okay! You bad person, Lambo sama will punish you for hurting Chrome!'
The small hitman turned to the person standing beside Chrome, tears in his eyes. Chrome barely managed a whisper of 'no...' when Lambo was there, laying beside her, unconscious.
'No...'
She tried to shake her head, as if this is all unreal, just an illusion. But she knew full well, this is all happening. She's going to die here, with Lambo, this minute, if someone doesn't come and save them. The tenth mist and lightning guardian are going to die, today. The enemy is just too strong.
The golden figure advanced and looked down at Chrome, Chrome tilted her head in an effort to see who it is, and the moment she saw, she was too stunned to even breathe.
The first Vongola boss, Giotto Vongola, is looking down at her with those golden-orange eyes of his, and curiosity spread out on his face. So Chrome thought. But looking closer, this Primo is younger than the one in the ring, he looks about her age actually, which basically makes no sense and isn't going to at this moment. There was something else she has to worry about.
The first boss reached out for Chrome, Chrome glanced at Lambo, the alarm still ringing, Chrome shut her eyes, the cold steel of the First's gloves touched her skin, then with a loud bang a black figure collided with the golden one.
Hibari rolled off Primo, held up his tongas and locked them onto the First's throat, pinning him to the wall, and looked up.
A temporary look of surprise flied across his face, but was gone within seconds.
Footsteps followed, then Tsuna and the other guardians filled the room. Including Reborn of course.
Everyone stopped moving when they saw the black and gold figures against the wall, the helpless girl laying on the ground, and the cow that had fainted at some stage. Yes, cow.
It seemed that the world stood still, and then Yamamoto cried out.
'Chrome!'
He was going to rush to the girl's side, but the sun Arcobaleno stopped him, and Mukuro and Ryohei were the ones that rushed over. Mukuro brought back Chrome's organs with illusion while Ryohei healed Lambo's wounds, when they completed their task Mukuro had a look of serious annoyance on his face and Ryohei, being the type of person he is, still didn't understand what's happening.
'P...Primo?!'
Tsuna almost shrieked, his voice in a tight and shrill whisper.
'Did you do all of this?!'
The boy didn't answer, instead he focused on Hibari and reached out a hand.
Hibari raised his free tonga when he saw it coming, ready to defend the attack. Then the baby Arcobaleno shouted:
'Dodge it Hibari!'
Even as much as he didn't want to, Hibari figured that as knowing as the baby is, he wouldn't just tell him to dodge without reason, especially since he know his personality. So he dodged, and a wave of sky flames hit the wall behind him, turning it to dust.
'...'
Hibari frowned, gave a slight nod in Reborn's direction to show his thanks, and attacked. But the boy that was originally locked onto the walls by his tonga was already gone, using the chance when Hibari dodged to escape. He quickly scanned the room in annoyance, and when he couldn't find anyone Hibari gave a slight hiss. His prey had escaped, right from under his eyes.
Hibari stood up and walked out of the room. Well, he planned to, but the baby called him again.
'Go to the meeting room Hibari, we are going to discuss this matter.'
'And what does that have to do with me.'
'He will be a worthy opponent.'
The next line that the baby said interested Hibari. Reborn didn't say ''should'', but instead ''will'', which means that the person is strong even in the eyes of the world's greatest hitman. He decided he will go.
'Reborn, what's all this?!'
Tsuna wailed over the sound of the alarms, hands clasping his face.
'Jyuudaime, please calm down...'
Gokudera said in a shaky voice, he patted Tsuna's shoulder. Yamamoto frowned beside them. His assassin instinct made him aware that the person from before was dangerous. Dangerous and strong, and he resembled the first Vongola boss he always saw on paintings in the Vongola art gallery. Wait, or is he the first Vongola boss?
'Arcobaleno, Chrome got hurt.'
Mukuro glared around the room, as if he thought he can shoot lasers from his eyes. The tone in his voice shows exactly how angry he was at the moment, also the tight grip he had on his trident would certainly scare anyone within 10 metres range away. But right now, the people within 10 metres range of him are: world's GREATEST hitman, brainless muscle idiot who shouts 'to the extreme!' in about every second sentence, a creepy boss stalker with a boss complex, a sports genius with an assassin's instinct, a fainted cow, a sleeping girl, and his boss. The useless person who can always manage to give him a whole lot of work and drag him into danger. Yes, him. The only people who are going to be scared by Mukuro right now is probably only going to be that useless boss, and sure enough, Tsuna backed away from Mukuro as far as he can go without leaving the room.
Reborn remained silent for a moment, his face getting darker by the second, then he walked out of the room.
'All of you, come to the meeting room, NOW.'
So this is how they ended up here.
Chrome had already woken up when everyone assembled, but Lambo is still sleeping. She told everyone the details and they all went silent.
'There's no doubt now, we all saw the attacker's face. It was clearly Primo, only younger.'
Reborn said, looking around the room.
'Oi Tsuna, try to call out the soul of the First in your ring, see if it works.'
Tsuna nodded nervously and held out his ring. This is the first time he's doing it by himself, first time they called out Primo out, Yuni was there as the sky Arcobaleno to do this. But now she's dead, and there's no new sky Arcobaleno yet. So he's alone.
Primo...please, answer me...please, I'll do anything...I'll give you a whole year's of supply of tacos...
'Nuhuhu, that won't work, Sawada Tsunayoshi, 10th.'
A voice echoed in the room, and everyone immediately went alert.
'Hiii!D...Daemon Spade...'
Tsuna shrieked as if he saw a ghost, which...he did, right?
Daemon Spade leaned against the door frame, a smile on his face. He's wearing he same type of clothing as he did the last time they saw him, which was the battle with Enma. Now he's leaning against the door, and it made him look much more slender and...almost beautiful in a way. But...
'Weren't you supposed to be dead?!'
Gokudera shouted out, barely refraining himself from throwing a dynamite over.
Daemon shot him a fierce glance, and walked over to Tsuna.
'If you mean that my spirit have disappeared from the ring, then no. The Vongola rings have much more power than you imagine them to have.'
He smile at Tsuna. It was a smile that would certainly charm any woman, but everyone in the room have learnt that this guy...is a real DEMON, so forget about the charming stuff, they just want to smash a chair in his face and call it a high-five. Yep. Chairs solve everything.
Tsuna blushed anyways, because he really isn't sure if Daemon knows that he just prayed to the Vongola sky ring and promised it a whole year's supply of tacos.
The guardians are all on edge as this person is so close to their boss, but they are mature than before, they are not going to attack when he's just smiling, as much as they want to. At least, not right now.
A hand was suddenly placed upon Daemon's shoulder, and he was dragged back by the first rain guardian, Asari.
'Daemon san, please don't go around thinking that all the Vongola bosses are females and smiling at them, you do know that their guardians all want to smash a chair in your face and call it a high-five, right?'
Asari spoke in a cheerful voice, but his words made everyone in the room think that this person is not one to anger, or else you won't even know how you died.
'Nuhuhu, and..'
Daemon wanted to say something, but he was cut off by G, the first storm guardian. Yep, the guardians are appearing from their separate rings one by one.
'It's okay, 10th generation kids. With us here and Primo out there, he won't dare to do anything.'
G assured the 10th generation and made a hand gesture for them to put away their weapons.
'I will bite you to death.'
Hibari glared.
Everyone else froze, not knowing what to do. It was then that the first cloud guardian smashed a chair in Daemon's face and said in a rather cold voice:
'Anyone who doesn't lower their weapon this instant, this is what happens to you.'
Immediately, the sound of weapons being dropped on the floor could be heard throughout the room.
'Hey 10th gen, what happened to the cow baby?'
Lampo, the first lightning guardian was bending over the sofa and peering onto Lambo's sleeping face.
'Even though Primo is strong, he is the one that passed my exam after all, why is he beat up like this?'
Mr first lightning guardian, may we kindly point out your exam really did nothing that improved his strength?
'Amen, may God bless his soul...'
Hey hey hey Knuckle! He's not dead yet!
The 10th generation are still frozen, not noticing the important part of the Firsts' appearances. So it's a good thing they still have Reborn.
'Why did you all come?'
Reborn thought over the Firsts' sudden appearances, and he suddenly remembered something G said.
'With us here and Primo out there, he won't dare to do anything.'
With us here and Primo out there...
Primo...out there...
Oh...
Reborn realised just how bad this situation is.
Then Daemon said:
'Primo's soul isn't in the ring, he got dragged out.'
Then everyone else in the room realised as well.
And they all went...
'Oh...'
