Hey there~ :D so this is the first chapter of my fanfic. Hope you guys enjoy :)
Chapter 1
Why intelligence…WHYYY?!
I woke up with sunlight ray's on my face. I opened my eyes squinting trying to face away from the suns blinding rays. "hn…stupid sun…okay okay.. I'll get up already.." I got up to my feet and stretched my arms for the ceiling. "mfffff! Ah! That stretch felt good!" I went to freshen myself up. I took a morning bath and changed into a white Sunday dress that goes just above my knee and stylish white boots. I let my raven black hair down reaching just to my shoulders.
I went out to the Backyard Garden and saw that my butler keiji. I waved as I ran to him "Keiji! Goodmorning!" Giving him a morning smile.
He gave me a smile back "Good morning principessa Lumina. Would you like some tea?" he pointed his arms to the table and chair with the fancy new tea set.
I nodded happily "Well of course!" I sat down and started to pour me a cup. "Where is Xanxus and ninth?"
He held the tea pot in his hands looking so graceful. "He is on his way down milady And master Xanxus is at a ball party." I looked around and saw the white haired old man coming towards us. "Morning Ninth!"
He chuckled with a deep voice. "Goodmorning as well Lumina. You seem very cheerful today don't you?"
I got a slice of bread and nibbled my way through it while talking "Well.. Just feels like an ordinary day but, those people from CEDEF are coming right? And there's a boy my age right? Basil was it?"
He chuckled some more "Yes. His name is Basil Cum, and his age is 8 years old just like you." He pat my head and ruffled my hair. "I'm sure you can get to be good friends with him."
"I hope so." I nibbled another piece of bread while talking . "What time will they arrive? I'm getting really bored."
"Patience Lumina." He smiled at me "An hour or so till they arrive. So why don't you play with Lala first?" Lala was our pet dog in the mansion. He had White shaggy fur with brown eyes. I nodded and spotted Lala prancing around the meadow.
I chased after him and played with Lala, After an hour I heard the mansion bell. "Oh. I suppose that they're here already." I hugged Lala and ran back in the mansion.
I saw a tall man with cream yellow spiky hair that was in some orange jumpsuit and orange helmet. "Oya~ Who is this adorable little girl?" He kneeled to get the same height as me. "I have a son that's just about your age! His name is Tsuna And he is soooo CUTE! You should meet him!"
I smiled at the man "Sure. Why not."
He chuckled softly "You sound too mature for your age but such a cute face! It's just how Ninth described you in the letters!." Umm.. I'll take that as a compliment? The ninth smiled and chuckled. "just call me your uncle Sawada kay?" I nodded while smiling. "Oh yes! There's someone I would like you to meet!" He made way for a little boy that looked the same as my age. He had light brown shiny hair with bangs and he had blue eyes just the same as mine but lighter. "Basil, meet Lumina. Lumina, Basil."
I smiled warmly at Basil "Lo there. Nice ta meet'cha!" His cheeks turned slightly pink.
"I am also grateful to meet thee, I have heard so much about thee from the ninth." I smiled and met the other members from the CEDEF. Including the arcobaleno Lal Mirch and Oregano and Turmeric. They were all kind and Lal Mirch was very….. Energetic and spartanic?.. But she was still very kind, although I sensed some ominous aura from her as if she had a complicated past. I sensed sadness and a longing from her eyes that was equal to a mask that hides a persons face…
I played with Basil While the grown ups were talking. He was a very unique person. He speaks as if he was in the 12th century or something. "Lumina-dono?" His bangs flipped as he turned to me. "When did thou move in the Vongola's main masion?"
I looked up to the sky and thought about it for a minute "Well…Last year I suppose. I lost my memories at the same time too. I can only remember the ninth's face that night when I closed my eyes, I don't remember anything else though." I actually remembered a few things…. Well.. I remembered a song and how to play canon through the piano.
Basil looked really guilty about asking me the question. Honestly, I couldn't even remember my own birthday. Even my Last name, I was just plain 'Lumina.' Whenever I try to remember my memories, my mind would haze.
"Did thou ask the ninth for answers?" what kind of pre historic language is this? It was confusing to talk with Basil but he was fun to be around with. My mind was flying around till Basil caught my attention yet again "Lumina-dono?"
"AH! What?! Who?! NOODLES?!" Did I just say noodles? Did I just literally blurt that out?
"PFFFFT!" Basil held his stomach with his left hand while his right hand was covering his mouth. He suddenly burst out in laughter. "L-Lumina-dono! AHAHAHAHAHA! Tis too funny! I did not know that thee had much sense of humor!" He was laughing so much to the point where he was teary eyed. I didn't really find it that funny though. He wiped the liquid in his eyes and faced me. "M-My apologies Lumina-dono. Thou would make a very good comedian…" he coughed and went back to normal. " I was asking thee if thou already have asked the Ninth for some answers."
"Oh… Well….. I did ask him before." I really did have the intention of asking the ninth if he had anything to do with my past and forgotten memories. "He just told me that my past family was assassinated…In the sea of blood; he found me, a survivor of a bloodbath massacre. I didn't believe it at first, well… who would believe that kind of story after forgetting all your memories." I didn't really mind though. I was satisfied with my present self and life, except there were just missing pieces of it.
Basil looked like he was curious of my past. "I do not get this at all. If the ninth found a survivor like thee, then he would have just sent thee to other families instead of Ninth's family himself."
I never gave much thought on these things cause it would just result to a massive headache. "Let's just leave things at that."
He simply nodded. "O-Okay.."
-Iemitsu's POV-
The ninth called me all the way to Italy just for a chat? My instincts say no but I'm feeling anxious about this talk we were about to discuss. We were brought to the ninths studies, and he was just looking outside the pouring rain. "Ninth, What's this emergency you spoke of? I got really startled when I heard you called for me."
His eyes were still focused on the view outside his window; it was silent for a while until he finally spoke. "I called you here in Italy because…. Because of Lumina." The tone of his voice sounded as if he was really worried about something.
"Lumina? The Little girl?" The ninth simply nodded still looking out the window. "Why would you call me out here for just a little girl?"
He then faced me with a serious straight face. "I told you that I took her in last year, correct?... But do you know why?" I shook my head and looked at the ninth saying to tell me straight. He bowed his head letting his eyes be covered by his hairs shadows, and walked towards the picture frames o his side table. I saw a picture of him with his 3 sons, smiling so blissfully. I wish I could have also took a picture with Tsuna and Nana like that. He now picked up a picture frame with a thin brown wooded frame, I could see from afar that it was Him and Lumina. Lumina was on the ninths Lap smiling and holding a basket full of flowers, while the ninth was smiling at her with a handmade flower necklace around him. He set it down back again.
"When I first saw her…"
FLASHBACK MODE (Narrator's POV)
The bloodbath massacre was to its end and the Vongola Family was exasperated from all the gruesome blood and sweat. The troops sent a message to the ninth that it was clear to go around. The ninth didn't waste any time and took a look around.
The ninths hyper intuition sprang up, He knew something was wrong. He ran down were his subordinates led him. "A hidden passageway?" The walls were old like it was some kind of temple ruins.
His subordinate bowed and looked at the ninth after. "Yes Ninth. It seems that they were about to escape through here."
"I see.. Did anyone escape?"
"We are still patrolling the forest area Ninth." His subordinate led him out the passageway and went to a forest filled with big pine trees. He strolled and stumbled through a trees root. But he thought it was to firm texture for it to be a trees root. He looked down and saw a foot "What in the world?" He went around the other side to find a little girl lying down on the muddy grass unconscious.
He knelt down without hesitation and turned her over to see her face… ((Where did this girl come from?)) He asked himself as he spotted a rainbow locket shaped like a heart. He opened it and found a picture of a beautiful woman with golden blonde hair and blue eyes, beside her was a tall man with red eyes with black bob cut hair. Sitting down was the little girl with a young man that looked like the age of 17 and had red eyes with shaggy black hair. The other side of the locket had a folded piece of paper, he unfolded it and read its contents. He read it in a whisper "Our dear Lumina, The light of the Metallo Family." His mind was in confusion from discovering that this family had a daughter. "I never heard that they had a daughter." he thought that The father, mother and son looked alike, but she doesn't resemble them at all.
He looked back to the little girl lying down unconscious and knelt down beside her. "I can't kill such a helpless person… even just leave them" he whispered to himself. He felt a sudden movement, the little girls eyes opened halfway squinting. As soon as he saw her crimson blue eyes, His hyper-intuition raised. He saw a bright orange light surrounding the girls body. And he saw her crimson blue eyes glow with fire, she has hidden power…. Its sealed… And powerful.
She spoke "Where is my Madre?" The little girls lifeless eyes crushed him to the point where his guilt was thumping hard on his head.
He faked a smile at her "Shh. It's okay, your safe now. Close your eyes and sleep for now." She gently closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
*FLASHBACK END* (Iemitsu's POV)
"N-Ninth.. Are you saying that you saw a dying will flame on her? Is she in line to be the next generation Boss?"
He shook his head slowly with his eyes closed. "It was much different from when I saw your son. Your son had a dying will FLAME, whereas I only saw an orange light enveloped around her body. I do not know if that was a dying will flame but…. It's like I saw her future.. I thought it was just my imagination until three weeks ago, she woke up from a nightmare. The Estraneo family covered in blood and she saw a boy with red and blue eyes. She told me that she sensed a dangerous power from the boy and escaped from the vindicare guards with two other subjects…..After 3 weeks she told me….It happened, exactly as she told me. This situation of hers has been happening recently, she can even tell the weather sometimes!"
My body was frozen and my mind was overblown "Are you saying that she can predict the future?! Ninth! This is outrageous!" His eyes looked away from me to the picture frames beside him and sighed heavily. "Ninth.. What does it mean? From what I know is that orange represents the sky element, correct?" My head was spinning like a top. This didn't make sense to me at all. "And did you get to search for some answer in the mansion? Who she was? Where the connections are?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out Iemitsu.. As for the research.." his eyes closed gently as he said his words shaking his head. "We didnt find a single clue.."
"How can that be? A Mafia Family should have their own record of their members!"
"We searched the families mansion Iemitsu.. And not a single clue was found but this.." He walked towards his safe and encoded the password. The safe pulled open and took a blue case... A music box? He walked towards me in a wary fashion. He held it out too me "There are two clues.. A music box and a heart shaped locket."
"And what does that have to do with her?"
"Open the music box and you'll see."
I opened it and it played canon by Pachelbel. I looked under the hood of the top and saw carved writings on it.
The core
What the hell did that mean? Looking to the ninth he could tell by my expression that I saw no connection to it.
"The Core: Middle, Center.. Heart." He walked towards me stretching his hand out for the Locket "Heart Locket in the color of a rainbow: The Core of the Arcobaleno or yet, the Heart of the Arcobaleno."
"So this means that-" I was going to ask but Ninth knew what I was going to say and cut me off.
"I highly doubt it… There are only 7 Arcobaleno Babies in the world. There are only 7 to be chosen. And if she was, Why is she growing every single day?" He made a point. If she was a cursed infant then her time was to stopped since Arcobaleno means rainbow… Rainbows stays in the same place making it still, That's why they don't age.
There was heavy silence in the room till someone burst through the doors of the Ninth's office. It was Ninths right hand man Coyote Nougat. "Ninth! Come now! Lumina is-! She-!
Ninth untangled his arms and put it down "Slow down Coyote! What happened? Is she Okay?"
Coyote's eyes were widening and I could tell that this was not good. "She's fine but…. Anyway! Come quick!"
We hurriedly ran out to the garden and I saw Lumina.. she was surrounded by mist and was just standing still looking blankly at the grass. I caught Basil lying down on the grass unconscious, I knelt to his side "Basil! Are you okay? Can you hear me?"
His eyes opened half squinting as he was speaking. "M-Master?.. Lumina-dono is… She… There was suddenly.. A b-bright light…" I couldn't understand what he was trying to say. The tone of his voice was shaky as he was speaking.
"Shh. It's okay. Close your eyes and get some rest." He fell unconscious again. I told Oregano and Turmeric to get him inside and to lay him down on the couch inside the mansion. I looked to the Ninth as he was staring at the little girl who was just standing. "Ninth. What in the world is she doing?"
His intense gaze was locked on Lumina. "What I just told you…. Predicting the future…"
-Lumina's POV-
I was trapped in a dark space, I couldn't see anything until I saw an orange light…. An orange Dying will flame. It appeared on the head of a boy with spiky brown hair. His orange eyes were full of resolve and Courage.
The darkness in the room turned into a run down building with broken windows and panes. It looks like I was in an abandoned theatre. A voice came into my mind "Kufufufu." I turned my head to see who the one who giggled so creepily was. It was a man in a dirt green uniform, his scent smelled of blood, his smile was sinister, and his eyes had murder intent. At his cheeks were like his veins glowing blue-ish, and his right eye had a Chinese character of "two"…. And his hair… His hair looked like a pineapple…The two charged towards each other and clashed. But before anyone made impact, my vision faded and the only sight I see was pure darkness….
Have you ever had a headache while sleeping? I did, just now. I woke myself up again lifting my upper body up to go in a sitting position. I yawned in exhaustion and stretched my arms up. "Great.." number 1, try to sleep with this headache and number 2, stay awake and endure the pain consciously…. I'd choose none of the above though.
I had another freaky dream I guess. Whenever I had a big headache like this, it would mean that I had nightmares slash freaky dream. The dream I just had was ESPECIALLY freaky. What's with the pineapple guy and brown haired guy? I've never seen them in my li-…. No wait… I've seen that pineapple guy before… In my previous dream from a family where they experimented on human beings..He had the same aura as that little boy I saw… Those eyes..If I remember correctly.. "Rokudo…Mukuro?"
Pain shot up at the back of my head "Keh.." I let my head down and sighed "Stop thinking about it… It's just another freak dream… It's not real…. It's just my imagination…" I am on the verge on getting a knife in my head so I can end this stupid headache.
I got up but my feet failed to respond to me so that caused my butt to kiss the cold floor. "Ouch.."
I heard a click and my bedroom door swung open. "Lumina-dono?" Basil was halfway behind the door trying to see if he could come in. "Art thou alright?"
"umm…" I pushed my aching feet up but it didn't even flinch "does headache and muscle spasm count as alright?" I don't know why my feet were like this but there's a lot of things that I don't know so why bother about it?
He looked at me with a straight face for a brief moment and shook his head while sweat dropping. "T-Tis not alright Lumina-dono. May I suggest an aspirin and efficacent gel?"
I felt like a humanoid whose legs are broken beyond repair. Okay I've had it, just thinking of that made feel like an inanimate object.
*PUNCH*
"Move you useless legs move!"
*PUNCH*
This plan ain't certainly working. Refusing to lose to my unmoving legs I tried to depend on intelligence! LET'S GO SUPER BRAIN!

So plan b didn't work… "I'll take those aspirin and gel please…" Basil's was clearly uneasy with the stupidity I just did. "Where has my intelligence gone? Oh! Oh! No! My mind has failed me! BUT! My heart tells me to move forward and not give up! Oh Intelligence, why have you failed me? Has our relationship part? Why intelligence? WHY?!" This are one of the times where my Shakespeare act get's into place…. I'm not partly sure if that was from Shakespeare. Even so, it brought my melodramatic feelings out of my body. I felt like something was missing….Oh my god… I forgot about Basil…
I turned my head to his direction he was just standing there looking at me with widened eyes and a pale face, and his face said everything that I didn't even have to ask. Oh dear god…. "OH! Hey basil! Didn't see you there! What's up?"
*STARING*
"Ah yes! The sky! I just noticed the weather too!"
*STARING*
"You know what? I just learned a new joke!"
*STARING*
"Why did the student take the apple?"
*STARING*
"Because an apple a day takes the teacher's away! Hahahaha… Wait. That wasn't right.."
Oh dear God. I thank you for the time you gave me. I accept my death from dying of embarrassment. And thus… I start the story of my life.
BTW! Lumina is the Romanian from Light in english :3
Elizabethan Language is so hard to do... *facedesk* Sorry if Basil's way of speaking is wrong. I'm still trying to learn the process of the informal way of the language :)
Review's will be much appreciated! :]
