Chapter one
The Vongola moon guardian
Two days ago
One day Reborn decided that it was about time for Tsuna to know the vongola's history and what better way than visiting the vongola headquarters in Italy .
'' you can't be serious Reborn , summer had just started and you are making us visit a mafia headquarters'' said Tsuna groaning
''Not any mafia headquarter . it is the Vongola's headquarter dame Tsuna ''
'' so why do have Kyokyo-chan , Haru and the others to come ''
'' they are your family ''
Tsuna sighed and went to back his things and call the others .
Now
Tsuna was walking in the garden of the Vongola headquarters . he was jetlagged and couldn't sleep . he sit on a chair and let his muscles rest .
'' hai Tsuna-san ...'' a voice said behind him . he didn't have to turn to know the of the voice. a sigh escaped his lips . Haru wasn't the person he hoped to meet . he didn't hate her but he could pretty much say she wasn't his favorite person . Haru was totally the opposite of what he wanted and what he wanted was silence and rest . he pretty much doubted Haru know the true meaning of silence . she was just too loud , straight forward and weird . she is always saying and doing embarrassing things and more all over in front of Kyoko. it has been more than five years since he meet Haru . now he was a college student but he still was pretty much the same old dame-Tsuna . sure he is more confident now and has friends but he is still too much of coward to confess to Kyoko .
Tsuna looked at Haru and give her a small nervous and awkward smile that didn't really reached his heart. Haru smiled - like always -at him and something flickered in her eyes that made Tsuna wonder if Haru was a lot more than she showed. He remembered a clear fact about her, she always hided what she feel with a bright and cheerful smile .
during the last five years they never were close mainly because Tsuna tried to push her away fearing Kyoko will misunderstand their relationship but he had to admit that Kyoko wasn't a person to make such assumptions and he even doubt she cared if he is dating or not .
Tsuna wasn't the most handsome or athletic and he didn't have girls crushing on him and even if some high class girls looked at him at the vongola parties they only saw an image of their imagination on who was the vongola tenth .
He never was a social butterfly . In most parties he was surrounded by his guardians except for Hibari who preferred to be on the roof taking a nap although he did show up occasionally but mostly he was looking for someone to bite to death and in a mafia party he is bound to find one .
Mukuro would die before sitting foot in a place filled with mafia people. Chrome didn't talk much and she spent most of the time with Kyoko and Haru. The three spend most of their time together that the Tsuna founded hard to talk to Kyoko alone . He would like to spent more time with her .
Tsuna known Kyoko for long time but he never really truly known her . he doesn't know what she like or dislike nothing at all . he shake his head furiously he know she loved sweet things especially cake he had to thank Haru for this information .
she was so pure, naïve and pretty . he just came to an conclusion he didn't really know Kyoko as much he would like too he didn't . she was his first and only crush . he sounded pathetic .
he was nineteen years old and he never really dated anyone and still hanging on his first crush and he didn't ever really tried to know her better which he was least thing he could do . it was a very depressing thought he know more about Haru and they weren't even close enough he didn't even like her that much .
Haru was a very admirable girl . she was unique she was not his ideal idea of a girl she wasn't graceful or feminine but she definitely had something . he sighed at his way of comparing the two there was no way he can . Kyoko was like the sun bright , shining and she was the one he loved while Haru was.,…..well she is definitely cheerful …but she was just a girl he know may be a friend .
he wasn't sure he wanted to be friend with Haru . Tsuna shifted in his seat realizing how long he was thinking . it was odd he excepted Haru to start talking about something . he glance at her she was wearing a kimono which he founded odd, her hair was loss it reached her shoulders . she was leaning on the doorframe of the entrance . she wasn't looking at him . she was staring at the sky with unreadable expression on her face . she caught him staring at her and smiled .
'' it's beautiful isn't it ?'' she said calmly unlike Haru
'' what ?..'' said Tsuna at her remark .
A small giggle came from Haru before she pointed at the sky . it took him a second to register what she meant
''' yeah it is always beautiful when it is a full moon ''
'' Tsuna-san what do you think is more beautiful the sun or the moon ?''
'' this a weird question .. I mean you can't compare the two .. she sun is bright shining it is hard not to notice the sun but you can't look at the sun for too much or it will blind you , right ''
'' true the sun is dazzling it makes it hard for the moon to compute for its place in the sky, but the moon is different it shines when there is nothing but darkness . it is calming in a way. It could withstand the everlasting darkness of the night . it is also bright and although it may be computing against the mighty sun it wouldn't lose '' Haru said with a smile on her face
For moment there Tsuna thought there was a another meaning behind their conversation but he ignored with the weird glow in Haru's eyes
'' yeah may be who knows ''
'' Tsuna- san …'' said Haru in a low voice
'' mmh ye..s '' said Tsuna with a very bored voice . he didn't want to continue this weird the conversation with Haru
'' storm , rain ,mist , sun , thunder , cloud and of course the sky but where is the moon in the vongola's sky '' said Haru with a very calm tune that made Tsuna think he was talking with someone else
'' I do…n't know why are you asking '' he said but he thought it was weird too
'' well I was talking with ninth and he told me there was a moon guardian in the first generation of the vongola family but no one ever talked about it . He had work to do so he didn't continue with it so I thought you might know ''
'' mm this the first time I heard about . Reborn never told me ''
'' because it wasn't necessary '' said a voice behind Tsuna . Tsuna screamed and jumped out of his chair landing on the ground . Haru was laughing hard . Tsuna just give her a confused look. he followed the place the sound come from the bushes . reborn came out dressed as a bush .
'' REBORN what were you doing here ?''
'' Ciaossu Haru ''
'' hi reborn-san you have been standing here for long time ''
'' you know I was here didn't you '' said reborn with a smirk
'' you did ?'' said Tsuna in a loud voice
'' sorry tsuna-san but I thought you knew too . I mean anyone could tell the difference between fake leaves and real one and beside I could detect a great custom from a mile away which is amazing by the way Reborn-san I was almost fooled ''
'' you have a very good eye Haru '' said Reborn with a satisfied grin
''oh no reborn-san I am just familiar with customs and such but I am no match for you of course , I would love to make customs as great as yours '' said Haru
'' well I might teach how to use them well '' said reborn
'' really that will be amazing reborn-san . I would be honored '' said Haru with her trademarked smile
'' hai di..d you forget about me '' said Tsuna feeling left out . it was strange no one had ever spotted reborn in hiding it was a hard thing to do . although he almost did once but missed .
'' of course not Tsuna-san Haru could never forget you '' she said with a smile but her voice held something else he couldn't place and it was the first time in long time for her to use the third person when she talk about herself .
'' dame-Tsuna is forgettable and so unnoticeable don't you think Haru '' said reborn
'' –chackling – don't be mean reborn-san . Tsuna-san isn't a wallflower he doesn't fad in background . I think he just could be obvious and inconsiderate person but he is still a good person at heart '' said Haru with –clearly – forced smile .
''you seem to understand that good for nothing idiot '' said Reborn with a smirk
Tsuna know if he didn't interrupt them they will continue on talking without him .
He was surprised at Haru's words . her words had a deep meaning to them . she meant them he never really treated her as a friend and he was always obvious to her feelings and he never considered them . He remembered clearly the time he made her cry . he never made anyone cry before –especially a girl for this matter –
he remembers how awfully he felt and Haru- being Haru- forgive his just like that, sometimes he wonder if he deserves her forgiveness not only for making her cry but also for taking her and her feelings for granted .
''s…o w..hat is it about the moon guardian ?'' said Tsuna part because he didn't want to the be the subject of discussion between Haru and reborn he couldn't withstand Haru talking about him it always made his embarrassed , nervous and absolutely guilty for being insensitive to her the other part was just his pure curiosity about the primo family.
'' I could tell you about the moon guardian but my information aren't accurate and it wouldn't really be a good bedtime story but I am sure it would be better to hear about it from someone who was there ? Personally I admit I curious about that mysterious guardian of the moon as I never heard about flames of the moon. We will be certainly honored to hear the fantastic story of the moon '' said reborn with a calm voice
'' then I suppose I could tell you ''
Haru and Tsuna screamed at hearing the voice behind them .
Behind Tsuna stood a man not much older than himself surrounded with bright orange flame . he wore a simple white dressing shirt with a black vest . he had spike golden hair that stood defying gravity and his honey colored eyes that held so much . his eyes had a very calming effect the flickered at the moon light making them more hypnotizing .
'' pri…mo '' said Tsuna
'' hai Mr. ….who are you ?'' said Haru . the man looked at the girl who had a confused look she seemed scared but it was understandable a man just came out of nowhere in front of her a man who is supposed to be dead . he looked at the boy to see him confused and shocked then he glanced at the arcobaleno who was grinning in satisfaction . the man smiled at them . Haru didn't know why or how but the sight of the man's smile made very relaxed . he had similar effect that Tsuna had on people but his was definitely more intense and powerful . he had this aura that made the person he know everything . at the moment Haru know there is no way she could hid anything from this man . he wasn't a scary person but he was definitely a person you don't underestimate . he give her the feeling that he could beat the entire vongola family and get without a scratch but he also give her the feeling that he will never hurt anyone unless he had too .
'' that is the first time we met , excuse me rudeness I am Giotto . to make very simple I am great-great-great grandfather of decmio . it's a pleasure to meat you '' the man said pointing at Tsuna . if Haru didn't know Tsuna's weird advantages she would properly would have called the man crazy but she –herself- travelled to the future and come back so what was so weird about seen a person who is supposed to be dead . she does remember hearing how the memory of the vongola is in the rings . it kinda made sense in a weird way .
'' hai my name Haru . I am Tsuna-san 's friend it is nice to meet you '' she said giving him a bow . he chuckled
'' aren't you a member of his family , isn't she decimo '' he said looking at Tsuna who was sweating nervously .
'' y….eah of course Haru is a member of the family '' said Tsuna . he founded odd how much he was convinced the she was a member of the family but she wasn't just friend . Haru was annoying sometime but he could honestly say that she is family
'' really tsuna-san you think Haru is a member of the family '' she said with a cheerful voice and a bright smile to match .
''yes you always were part of the team . it has been five years Haru of course you are a one of us '' said Tsuna
'' I am glad . you didn't seem to think so '' said Haru , she whispered the last part but Tsuna heard it and it made feel incredibly guilty . he always tried to push her away always distanced himself from her without considering her feeling he made think she didn't belong which was a feeling he know very well as a kid .
'' –chuckling – so how about it decimo , Haru-san andarcobaleno would like me tell you –chuckling – a real bedtime story '' said primo with a smile
'' aren't we abet old for bedtime stories '' said Tsuna nervously
'' hai Tsuna –san you never too old for bedtime stories '' said Haru with a spark in her eyes as she took a chair and putted next to Tsuna's and sit . she looked at primo with anticipation . there was no doubt about the blonde-vongola boss had her full attention .
'' if you say so . I would like to hear the story as well'' said Tsuna . he finally stood up and sit back on his chair . Reborn sit on Tsuna's head . Primo glanced at his audience and inhaled the cold night breeze . memories that he never forget started racing in his head . memories from the first time he meet his guardians . he remembered each one of them as clear as day .
'' The moon was the last guardian in my family. to each guardian of the Vongola there is was a mission or simply a role .
for The storm is to be continuously at the heart of the attack,
The rain settles conflict and washes everything away
The sun is destroying the misfortune that attacks the Famiglia with their own body
The cloud protects the Family from an independent standpoint, nothing can ever bind the cloud
The thunder draws damage to himself and away from the rest of the Famiglia
The mist bewilders the enemy and render the Famiglia's true form intangible with visions of deceit
But the moon that lights up the sky at night isn't powerless
The moon guardian never really excited in my eyes for many reasons
One being I could never tolerate the moon so ever disturbing . I am known to except anyone from a priest to a mafia members to royalty but I never really wanted that guardian really . if I had to choose I a person who had the worst first impression with me I have to say the moon takes the prize hands down actually make that worst first , second and third impression . the moon never liked me at first maybe it was hate I felt from the moon . you see the moon can never let the sky drawn in darkness . that how it was like with moon never giving the sky time to drawn in darkness or peaceful sleep in this matter .''
Primo sigh . many expression passed on his face . the three listener could tell this was going to be an interesting story
'' Giotto-san if you don't mind me asking how bad was the first impression '' said Haru. Primo smiled then he frowned then he glared at the floor for seconds then he smiled again
''oh sure of course , pardon me I have been remembering very unpleasant thoughts.
The first time I meet the moon guardian was not very nice memory . to make it simple the moon was sent on assassination mission to kill me '' said Primo
