I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Nor do I own Abel, Belial, their parents, their aunts and uncles, or the Avila Family, which the bad guy comes from; those belong to Yami Dragoness of the Dark who has given me permission to use them. I DO own the time machine, the bad Guy himself, and Abel and Belial's friends who travel with them into the past.
It was a cold night in Italy near the Vongola mansion. But the weather didn't bother the lone figure hiding in the trees, wait...plotting...cold, hard eyes looked through the windows of the manor, at the one in particular that gave him a view of the reason for his misfortunes. The one that had taken everything from him, his home, his family, his life. She sat there in a comfy looking armchair, long black hair tied back into a loose braid suitable to sleep in. Sitting next to her and holding her pale hand in his own tanned one was a dirty blonde haired man. His eyes were close, head tilted slightly to the side so as if he was trying to hear more. At the adults' feet were sprawled two children. The boy, no more than seventeen, lay at his mother's feet, his own black hair tied back in a horsetail, easygoing face turned towards a TV the watcher could not see. He blinked brilliant blue eyes lazily, almost sleepily. Next to him, lying at her father's feet was a young girl not yet in her teens. Without taking her eyes (silver like her monster of a mother's eyes) off the TV, she reached out and poked her brother, who retaliated by tugging her dirty blonde hair. He grinned while she let out a whine that was impossible to hear from the distance the watcher watched from.
He growled his teeth clenched. It wasn't fair. That bitch! That monster that killed his Family that took everything from him didn't deserve all this. Not the warm house, the loving husband, or the kids. But he would change that. He would take the happiness she didn't deserve from her with the help of that damned woman's younger sister. The invention the youngest Xi sibling had made with her master's help would prove to be their undoing once he got hold of it. Smirking, the watcher drew back, disappearing into the night with none the wiser to his presence, and the child he was supposed to watch over was watching a movie in her room no idea what her trusted butler was really up to on his "vacation"...
A WEEK LATER…
It was a pretty much normal day for Xiana Arianna Superbia Vongola Vizzini, her son; Abel was playing video games with his best friend Percy and her daughter Belial was picking up her best friend Amber from her house. She smiled, they were lucky that they did not yet know what was in store for them but they were the only ones who could fix this, she glanced at her glove covered hands, and sighed. Just then Belial walked in with Amber who was carrying a Yaoi paddle like a solder would carry a riffle.
"Hi Mama!" said Belial.
"Hi Mrs. X," added Amber using her usual nickname for her friends' mother.
"Amber, what's the Yaoi paddle for?" asked Xiana, blinking at her daughter's half Japanese-American (Her mother is a Japanese-American while her father is Italian) friend.
"Tormenting Abel," answered Amber as Belial giggled and the two ran off.
"Kids! After lunch Xixi, Irie, and Spanner need to see you!" yelled Xiana.
"Ok!" cried the kids.
Deciding that a quick break was in order (as her father used to say, "Working straight through paperwork is for fucking nerds.") the Varia leader turned and headed for the kitchen. She had just reached it when she heard screams coming from where the children were.
"Ow! Mama! Amber spanked me with her stupid Yaoi paddle again!" shouted Abel loudly.
"Yaoi good and girls rule!" the two girls yelled cheerfully before running off to their safe haven, better known as Belial's bed room.
"Papa! Belial's hiding in her room with Amber!" Abel hollered angrily.
"Again!" added his Mohawk wearing best friend, who apparently was trying to hold back his amusement.
Xiana shook her head as her husband Dante laughed.
Percy looked at his best friend and said, "Your little sister has weird taste in friends."
"I blame our twin Uncles, they are a bad influence," replied Abel rolling his eyes.
"Is that why they've been in and out of the loony bin?" the half Greek-boy asked as they went back to their video game.
"That among other things."
Meanwhile in Belial's room the two girls were giggling over their prank and talking about horseback riding.
"You are so lucky you and your brother have your own horses. My Mom and Dad won't let me have any pets," said Amber fiddling with her ever present amber necklace.
"Yeah but you get to do pretty much whatever you want at home," replied Belial, enviously.
"Only because my parents are rarely home," the amber eyed girl grumbled sadly.
"So? You can come over and play and sleep over when ever we want as long as it's ok with my Mama and Papa," said the pure Italian girl, trying to cheer up her friend.
Amber smiled weakly, her long, black braid falling over her shoulder.
By this time Xiana had finished making lunch for herself and Dante, eaten, and made lunch for the kids.
"Vai! Kids! Lunch!" she called.
There was a small crash and indigent feminine cry of "Voi!" as well as laughter and cheering reached her ears. Before long the dining room was filled with laughter and happy chatter as the kids ate their lunch. Xiana wouldn't admit it to many but Percus, or Percy and Amber meant as much to her as her own children. She bit the inside her lip as her hands started to hurt, the situation was getting worse.
"Mama? Are you ok?" asked Abel bringing the other kids attention to the situation.
"Are you all finished with lunch?" she responded trying to hide her pain.
"Yeah...but what's that got to do with anything?" asked the younger of her children.
"It's time to go see Xixi," answered Xiana.
The four kids nodded and stood up, following the Varia leader to her only sister's lab. Xixi was sitting down with her husband the 11th boss of the Vongola family; Tsumitsu Giotto standing behind her. Giotto's guardians including his younger sister; Kotetsu, the Yamamoto triplets; Hiko, Mizuki and Aka, as well as the boss's cousin and the daughter of Chrome and Hibari. Irie and Spanner were both at their work benches typing away. In the middle of the room was what looked kinda like a Stargate from the TV show. Most of the adults were wearing long gloves.
"Dude…what is that?" asked Percy fiddling with his dyed green hair.
*A time machine,* signed Xixi.
"Cool!" said the amazed kids.
"Someone broke into the lab a week ago and used the time machine to travel back in time. They left a note which reads, You took away my Familia now I will do the same. Signed, the lone survivor of the Avila Family," said Irie anger and fear clear in his voice even though he tried to hide it.
"What do you want us to do?" asked Abel, fixing his tie a little, a nervous habit.
"You four must go into the past and fix what he has done," answered Spanner flatly.
"Uh… what did he do?" asked the younger of the two siblings, confused.
"Killed our parents in the past, preventing us from being born, and ending the Vongola family," replied Xiana, clenching her fists in anger.
"Does this mean we get to see Grandma and Grandpa?" asked Belial excitedly before her mother nodded, "Voi! This is gonna be so cool!"
"You can meet them but you must not tell them who you really are," Aka pointed out seriously.
"I get why your sending Belial-chan and her baka brother but why me and Percy-baka?" asked Amber, scratching her nose.
"You two are the are Abel and Belial's precious friends," said Dante as he walked into the room, "Our children have said that when they fight for leadership of Varia the loser will be the second in command/one of the guardians and both of you would each be a guardian. This is a Familia and family matter and you two are Familia as well as part of our family. We have something for each of you."
Aka handed each of the kids a jewelry box, inside of them were rings. The two siblings each had one Sky ring. Abel also had a Rain while Belial had a Storm ring, Percy had Sun and Thunder rings and Amber had a Cloud and Mist rings. Then Mizuki handed out their non-box weapons. Abel, a bo staff, Belial, her knife which she gave a little spin before sheathing it. Amber was given a bunch of kunai and shuriken as well as storage pouches, and Percy a whip. Finally Hiko handed each of them a Box.
"Only use the Boxes if you have to," said Giotto before handing each of the kids a wallet of money for them to use into the past.
Irie tossed each of them a backpack full of clothes and other things including spare weapons, "There's a white box in one of those backpacks which is to be infused with flame to bring you back to this time when your task it complete."
"Look out for each other ok?" said Xiana, hugging each of the kids and kissing their foreheads which surprised Percy and Amber.
"Don't fight with each other, ok?" said Dante ruffling the kids' hair, accidentally knocking the goggles that Amber always wore on top of her head over her eyes.
"Ayie!" she cried, surprised by the sudden darkness before realizing what happened and pushing the goggles back up with a slight blush.
The four kids all nodded. The three inventors activated the time machine and with one last glance back at their Family/family, they entered the gate and vanished.
