Hi readers! I'm back with a new chapter! Chapter 2! There'll be a major time skip at a part that you guys might not like but I hope everyone will still enjoy this chapter! Without further ado, let's start!
Kai's POV
I woke up the next morning to see him sleeping as I looked down to see both of our clothes on the floor. I smirked when I remembered what I did last night as he started to wake up. His eyes was filled with fear when he saw me.
" Don't worry. I won't hurt you. Let's get you dressed now." I said
I put on the clothes for him as he looked like he wanted something but the cloth that I tied onto his mouth was still there, so I didn't know what he wanted.
" What is it?" I ask
His head was pointing at a direction as I looked at the table, where he was pointing me to. I saw the pendant as I turned back to him.
" You want me to get that for you?" I ask
He nodded a little as I patted his head and stood up. I walked towards the table and picked up the pendant before putting it beside him.
" Now, be good. I'll be making some breakfast for you, so stay put." I said
I walked towards the kitchen and started to make his breakfast. Although, it is weird that he wasn't scared of me even after what I did... But his eyes did show fear just now... Must be a bad dream I guess... I finished making his breakfast as I made my way back to the bed. He was lying on the bed while facing me. He must've been watching me cook.
" Here. I have your breakfast, eat some." I said
I sat him up and took off the cloth. He started to eat and luckily, finished it all up. That means whatever herbs I used last night worked. I touched his forehead and felt that his fever had gone away. Suddenly, I heard him thinking about something as I sighed.
" Aichi, have you forgotten that ever since you chose me as your Cloud Guardian, I gained a special ability that you gave me? Remember? I can hear what you're thinking." I said
He just looked away from me as I tied the cloth back onto his mouth.
" If you wanted a massage for that sore back of yours, then tell me." I said
He just looked away and nodded as I laid him down with his back facing me as I started to massage his sore back, him occasionally wincing from the pain that I caused him yesterday.
" There, does that feel better?" I ask
He nodded as I helped him turn back to his original lying position. He's been unusually obedient and calm today...
" Aichi, this isn't like you. You're being unusually obedient and calm around me even though I'm an enemy. Usually, you would refuse to listen." I said
He stayed silent for awhile as I waited, not anticipating anything.
Normal POV
Meanwhile, the others were waiting at Card Capital as Miwa entered.
" Everyone! I saw the announcement yesterday! Where's Aichi?!" Miwa ask
" Kai took him back to his apartment, he said that it was a few meters away from our school." Naoki said
" Are you crazy?! Kai's the enemy!" Miwa said
" What do you mean by that?!" Misaki ask
" He's one of us!" Naoki said
" I know but listen! Think about it! All these weird things started happening during Kai's absence! I know him and I know that he wanted to surpass Aichi and Ren! What if he'd used Link Joker's power to get stronger?!" Miwa ask
" No way... It's impossible!" Naoki said
" If that's true then... Aichi's in trouble!" Misaki exclaimed
" Yeah! I tried contacting him but Kai's not answering! Plus, I've never been to his apartment before!" Miwa said
" Then what should we..." Shingo said
The door opened as they turned to see Tsuna and the others.
" Leave that to us!" Yamamoto said
" It's Tsuna and the others!" Misaki exclaimed
" We might be able to help." Tsuna said
" No. We shouldn't drag you guys into this. Besides, you guys couldn't even see the announcement... You're not cardfighters." Naoki said
" We know but we saw reactions from different people. Some were anxious while some were happy about the announcements of the tickets for Ultra Rare sold out because they've already bought tickets but it seemed that those who were anxious were seeing something different." Gokudera said
" So... Please fill us in on the situation!" Tsuna said
" Well... Okay."
They sat down as they started to talk about what the announcement was and what happened to Aichi.
" No way... The Embodiment was Aichi-san?!" Tsuna exclaimed
" So he was right under our noses..." Gokudera muttered
" I extremely don't understand!" Ryohei yelled
" So this is what Irie-san meant..." Chrome muttered
" Is something wrong?" Miwa ask
" N-No! Nothing! Anyway, we have to find Aichi-san and save him fast... It'll not be so simple but we'll try our best!" Tsuna said
" Yeah."
Suddenly, the door opened as they turned to it. They were surprised to see Aichi there, catching his breath and panting.
" Aichi!"
" I guess we didn't have to worry after all." Misaki said
" Huh?"
" How are you? Did Kai do anything?" Miwa ask
Aichi thought back about last night as he shook off the thought.
" N-No... I'm fine." Aichi said
" But how did you get away from Kai?" Naoki ask
Aichi began to explain what happened.
~ Flashback start~
When Aichi had asked Kai to take the pendant over to him, Kai didn't know... Even in his sick state last night, he saw what Kai did with the pendant. He found out that the pendant would provide whatever he needed, so as expected, a small knife appeared while Kai was still cooking as he hid it away. He regained some energy after eating as Kai massaged his sore back. After he turned him back, Aichi began to cut the ropes away. When Kai questioned him, he kept silent. Until he broke the ropes, he pushed him away and cut his ankles free. Once he was done, he grabbed his deck case and uniform that was on the small table beside him and ran off while taking off the cloth on his mouth. Luckily, the impact of his push was so hard that Kai had taken sometime to recover... And he ran towards Card Capital...
~ Flashback end~
" Kai must be mad right now... I mean, you managed to escape even though he's not supposed to allow it... It won't be long before he finds you here." Miwa said
" I know. I was only lucky at that point of time. He said that the awakening will only be complete when the full moon rises..." Aichi said
" That leaves us with only a day left if we count today as well. I'm sure Link Joker would be desperate to take you back." Misaki said
" Indeed." A voice said
They turned their heads to see Kai, his aura spilling out dangerously.
" You've been bad, Aichi. Now it's time to take you back to the building." Kai said
" No way that's gonna happen!" Misaki said
" So? You guys know better that you're no match for me." Kai said
" Why you..." Naoki growled
" Let us handle this!" Yamamoto said
" I can sense Cloud Flames spewing out from that guy." Gokudera said
" He's my guardian." Aichi said
" Huh? HUH?!"
" Your guardian?!" Tsuna exclaimed
" Then... You're..." Ryohei exclaimed
" Yes. I'm involved with the mafia. As a small branch family from the Vongola. That's why I knew about the Vongola rings." Aichi said
" I kinda had suspicions about how you knew but now it makes sense." Gokudera said
" I have Sky Flames. Some of my friends here are my guardians. Like Kamui-kun, he's my Rain Guardian and my Mist Guardian, who you've never met before. Ren-san." Aichi said
" I'm Aichi's Storm Guardian!" Naoki said
" I'm his Lightning Guardian." Misaki said
" And lastly, I'm his Sun Guardian!" Miwa said
" HUH?!"
" Let's put that aside for now and get back to the battle." Naoki said
" Why didn't you tell me?!" Shingo ask
" Sorry, Komoi... That was a secret between all of us. We didn't want to involve you into this." Misaki said
" I'm sorry, Kai-kun. Maybe we'll fight next time." Aichi said
" No! We're doing it now!" Kai said
He charged at Aichi as Aichi tapped Kai's forehead and he disappeared.
" He disappeared!" Tsuna exclaimed
" Don't worry. I just teleported him to the building. He'll be back sooner or later. But we have some time now. Let's sit down and talk." Aichi said
" Y-Yeah..."
They sat down as Aichi started to talk.
" My father was a boss from a small branch family in the Vongola Family. Its name is Arcane Family. I don't know what it does but when my father died, I was to become the next Boss in line because I'm his son. Coincidentally, I had Sky Flames and all I needed now was guardians." Aichi said
" Which he approached us just a few months ago and told us about it." Misaki said
" You guys could've just rejected." Aichi said
" No. We've much to owe ya. We can't just leave you alone in something so dangerous like this." Naoki said
" Exactly why I didn't want you guys to get involved. Your lives would've been in danger." Aichi said
" Like Ishida said, we owe you a favour and we'll see through it together with you no matter what." Miwa said
" I got it... I can never beat you guys when it comes to this..." Aichi sighed
" Then... Aichi-san, since you're the embodiment... We've a request. You see..." Tsuna said
He started explaining about their battles in the future. About Millefiore and Byakuran.
" So you need me to give you the succession flames to defeat Byakuran, huh... Tell you what. There's a succession test as you've explained. I would like all of us to fight for it. Once this is over, I want to fight all of you, of course, including my guardians will fight alongside with me. Defeat us and you'll get the succession flames." Aichi said
Tsuna gulped after remembering what Aichi had done to Kai.
" O-Okay..."
" He teleported that guy in an instant just now... We have to be careful..." Tsuna thought
" Now then, let's put that aside for now." Aichi said
" You want to settle this quickly, right?" Naoki ask
" Yeah! Before they can use me, I'm going to defeat them and free the world!" Aichi said
" Alright! Then, let's go!" Naoki said
" Yeah!"
~ Major time skip~
Aichi finally defeated Reversed Takuto and Kai but Reversed Takuto's words troubled him...
" In the future awaits a dark presence that will finish the job of taking over this world..." Aichi thought
He quickly shook off the thought as he turned back to the others.
" Now then, let's all go back to our homes and rest." Aichi said
" Yeah!"
" Aichi. Could you follow me back to my apartment for awhile?" Kai ask
" Sure."
They each headed to their respective locations as Aichi and Kai arrived at the apartment.
" Sorry about before... I must've scared you when I did that." Kai said
" No. I wasn't scared. At least I know that you were still your normal self when you did that. At least I knew that I could trust you." Aichi said
" Aichi..."
" You don't have to regret anything. I'm fine and you have nothing to worry about." Aichi said
" Yeah..."
Kai looked up at Aichi as he held his hand and leaned in. He kissed Aichi as his eyes widened for a few moments before returning the kiss. They released the kiss after a minute.
" Would you like to stay over tonight? I promise I won't do anything." Kai said
" I'm not afraid. Besides, tomorrow we have to fight Tsuna-san and the others. It'll be more convenient this way." Aichi said
" Yeah."
Aichi called his mother to tell her about him staying over at Kai's place while Kai made dinner. Aichi was loaned Kai's clothes again as they ate their dinner. After washing their plates up, both headed off to bed in each other's embrace.
At the same time, Tsuna and the others decided to stay over at Tsuna's house, except for Hibari, since the battle was going to be at Namimmori Mountain. Reborn heard their story as he sighed.
" I see. You guys are going to face the next generation of the Arcane Family, huh... Here. I got an updated book about Vongola and an older version of it. Read it well." Reborn said
" Yeah..."
They took the books as they started reading together.
" Amazing... Primo and Aichi-san's ancestors go way back, don't they?" Tsuna ask
" Yeah." Reborn replied
" Here's their information!" Gokudera said
" Wow... That's fast. Let's see... Aichi Sendou. Son of the ninth generation boss of the Arcane Family, Yosuke Sendou. Inheriting the title of the Tenth Generation soon. Powers: unknown. Flame: Sky. Abilities: unknown. Works hard in everything he does, resulting in him always getting first for exams. Protective of his friends and comrades." Tsuna read
" Naoki Ishida. Storm Guardian for the Tenth Generation Arcane Family. Powers: unknown. Flame: Storm. Abilities: unknown. Hot blooded and hot headed. His passion drives him to protect whoever is precious to him." Gokudera read
" Kamui Katsuragi. Rain Guardian for the Tenth Generation Arcane Family. Powers: unknown. Flame: Rain. Abilities: unknown. Even though his studies are a bit poor, he holds high respect for Aichi Sendou like a big brother. Sometimes, he easily gets angry." Yamamoto read
" Misaki Tokura. Lightning Guardian for the Tenth Generation Arcane Family. Powers: unknown. Flame: Lightning. Abilities: unknown. She lost her both parents when she was young. Her photogenic memory allows her to remember anything with just a single glance, whether traumatizing or sad, she remembers details fully without leaving anything out. Ren Suzugamori. Mist Guardian for the Tenth Generation Arcane Family. Powers: unknown. Flame: Mist. Abilities: unknown. Best friend of Toshiki Kai. He can be dense at times however when it comes to serious business, he doesn't waste anytime to get the job done." Chrome read
" Miwa Taishi! Sun Guardian for the Tenth Generation Arcane Family! Powers: extremely unknown! Flame: extremely Sun! Abilities: extremely unknown! Best friend of Toshiki Kai since childhood and understands his mindset! That's extremely all it says!" Ryohei yelled
" Big Brother! Don't yell! It's already night!" Tsuna said
" R-Right..."
" Well, lastly... Toshiki Kai. Cloud Guardian for the Tenth Generation Arcane Family. Powers: unknown. Flame: Cloud. Abilities: unknown. He lost his parents when he was young as well. He's known to be fierce and overly protective of Aichi Sendou. That's all." Tsuna read
Silence...
" There's not much information at all..." Gokudera said
" Yeah. Plus, this is top secret information that I got from the Ninth. The fact that almost everything is unknown is that maybe these guys aren't normal." Reborn said
" Yeah, we know..." Tsuna said, recollecting how Aichi teleported Kai
" Well, the other Arcobaleno will probably go to watch if I tell them now. They'll be quite interested in this match." Reborn said
" Well... Okay."
" For now, you guys should all go for your rest. We need to get up early tomorrow." Reborn said
" Yeah!"
They got ready for bed as Chrome headed to the spare room while the other boys fell fast asleep.
~ The next day~
Aichi and the others were waiting for Tsuna and the others as Aichi grabbed a leaf from a nearby tree.
" Leaf whistle again?" Miwa ask
Aichi nodded.
" Sure. It's been a long time since you did that too." Misaki said
" Yeah."
Aichi sat down on a rock as he started to blow a melody from the leaf. The wind gently blew as the others closed their eyes while enjoying the music and the breeze.
" This is the first time I heard this..." Naoki said
" During the time that we haven't met you yet, Aichi would blow a melody to keep us calm. It hasn't change much since then." Misaki said
" Yeah. Brother's leaf whistling is the best!" Kamui stretched
That was when they heard panting as Aichi stopped. They turned to see Tsuna and the others climbing up.
" Oh, you're here!" Naoki said
" Yeah... Tsuna panted
" Sorry, sorry. Rest for awhile. We still have one more person not here yet." Miwa said
" I-I see..."
" Why's a guardian late for something important like this?!" Gokudera ask
" Well, you'll see." Misaki said
At those words, a helicopter came flying down as a red haired guy and a yellowed haired guy jumped down from it after it landed. Followed by two light blue haired girls.
" Sorry I'm late!" The red haired guy said
" Ren-san!"
" Took you long enough." Kai said
" I was a bit delayed since I needed to fetch Leon-kun!" Ren said
" It's alright. Then, everyone's here I presume?" Aichi ask
" I don't think Hibari-san's coming..." Tsuna replied
" He's over here!" Reborn said with Hibari and the other Arcobaleno behind him, except for Mammon and Verde
" Hibari-san!"
" I can guess how he persuaded him, I think..." Gokudera said
" Yeah, me too..." Tsuna muttered
" Now we can finally start!" Naoki said
" I've been waiting for this!" Kamui said
" I'll be the judge. The battle between the Tenth Generation Vongola Family and the Arcane Family now begins!" Reborn announced
" Do you want a warm up battle or a serious one?" Aichi ask
" Of course, a serious one!" Gokudera replied
" We can't have it another way." Yamamoto said
" Okay."
They took out their deck cases and handed them to Leon, Jillian and Sharlene.
" Sorry, maybe next time." Aichi said
" Take care of them while we're at it." Misaki said
" Yeah, no problem." Leon said
They went back to Tsuna and the others as they all got ready to fight.
" What's wrong? Not making the first move?!" Gokudera ask
" No."
" Then... We'll go first!" Yamamoto said
Gokudera got his skull weapon out as he pointed it at them.
" Flame Arrow!"
The attack fired but it was immediately absorbed into Naoki's ring.
" Wha?! He absorbed my flames?!" Gokudera exclaimed
" Then... Shigure Soen Ryu. Offensive Form 12! Scontro Di Rondine!" Yamamoto declared
Kamui put out his ring as Yamamoto's Rain flames were also absorbed.
" No way!"
" It's my turn! Maximum Cannon!" Ryohei declared
His flames were also absorbed into Miwa's ring.
" What a waste of time. We should just stop messing around with them already and use our own flames." Ren said
" I agree." Kai said
" Yeah. Let's not wait for too long. It's time for the real battle to begin." Aichi said
Tsuna got into HDWM as the others got their box animals out.
" Then it's our turn, right?" Aichi ask
" Do it, Brother!" Kamui said
" Yeah!"
Aichi lit up his ring as Tsuna and the others were surprised.
" You wanted a serious fight. Don't regret it." Miwa said
" Courage! Descend down from the skies!" Aichi declared
A light for each of their flame colors descended down onto their as they started their clothes started to change.
" Sky Form: Alabaster!"
" Cloud Form: Ninja!"
" Mist Form: Demon!"
" Lightning Form: Fairy!"
" Rain Form: Elf!"
" Storm Form: Dragon!"
" Sun Form: Warrior!"
" They transformed?!" Tsuna exclaimed
" You wanted a serious battle. We're giving it to you now. Don't regret it." Aichi said
Hibari immediately charged at Aichi as his metal wings flapped and he flew up.
" Ho... Not bad." Hibari said
" He can fly?!" Yamamoto exclaimed
" Well, us too!" Gokudera said
He activated his Systema CAI as a Storm flamed disc appeared below his feet and he flew up. Tsuna followed along.
" Once more! Flame Arrow!" Gokudera fired his attack again
But it was immediately deflected by another Storm attack as they saw Naoki flying up with dragon-like wings.
" In this form, I gain powers of a fire dragon." Naoki said
" Interesting." Gokudera said
On the ground, Hibari was now targeting Kai as his next opponent. Kai silently chanted something as he slowly dissipated into clouds. Hibari stopped in his tracks as he was surrounded by clouds.
" You won't be able to sense me when I'm in this form. Now, what will you do?" Kai ask
" Come out and seriously fight me, Carnivore." Hibari said
Outside of the clouds, the other Guardians were fighting with the opposing elements.
" I can't hit a kid. Kamui, this kid's yours to handle." Miwa said
" But he's Lightning!" Kamui exclaimed
" Deal with it." Misaki said
" Y-Yes..."
An ice spear appeared in his hand as he prepared himself to attack Lambo.
" Lambo!" Ryohei shouted
He quickly ran back to Lambo as he picked Lambo up.
" I'm not letting you hurt Lambo!" Ryohei said
" Heh. Kamui, looks like we're partners." Miwa said
" Yes, Miwa-senpai!"
They bumped fists before starting their attacks on Ryohei and Lambo. Meanwhile, Yamamoto was going against Misaki as she used her staff to block his attack.
" You aren't half bad." Misaki said
" Same to you." Yamamoto said
The two Mist illusionists were preparing to face off as well.
" Demon form..." Chrome muttered
" That's right. Don't worry, I won't eat you up. But in demon form, I'm immune to darkness and my senses and powers are amplified. Get ready." Ren said, lifting up his claw
Chrome gulped as she started to charge at Ren. In the air, Tsuna and Aichi watched as all the attacks from Naoki and Gokudera clashed.
" What's wrong? This is no time to worry about him." Aichi said
" He's my friend!" Tsuna said
" I know. But standing there and doing nothing won't help you win." Aichi said
Tsuna had to admit, Aichi's right. However, Aichi's powers were still currently unknown, so he had to be careful.
" I got it." Tsuna said
He charged at Aichi as he dodged the punch. Tsuna tried to deliver a few more punches but they were either blocked or dodged.
" He's nimble!" Tsuna thought
This time, Aichi delivered a knee kick to Tsuna as he was thrown down to the ground.
" Jyuudaime!"
" Tsuna!"
" What's wrong? This isn't Alabaster's true power. You haven't tasted even the start of it." Aichi said
" Not even the start...?!" Tsuna exclaimed, getting up
He flew up in the air as he prepared his X Burner.
" Operation X." Tsuna said
His headphones started to tell the output to his while his lenses showed it.
" That must be your strongest attack." Aichi said
" If he can finish him off with that..." Fon said
" But that Aichi guy is being calm, kora." Colonello said
" Alabaster... Where have I heard that from before?" Reborn muttered
That was when realization hit him.
" Tsuna! Don't fire it!" Reborn shouted
But it was too late...
" X Burner Air!"
Tsuna fired his X Burner as Aichi smirked. He put his hand out as it took a little of the attack before explosions started to occur with the X Burner.
" What?!"
The explosions went to Tsuna as he was thrown back once more but kept himself in the air.
" Not bad." Aichi said
" In the first place, Tsuna never stood a chance." Reborn said
" What?!"
" Alabaster is a legendary armour that was made by the first Arcane Boss. Its ability is particle explosion. The user sends out explosions from air particles or if there's any other particles, like flames." Reborn explained
" No way..."
" And, there's another one." Reborn said
Aichi concentrated as swords came out from nowhere and formed into a circle around his back.
" Heaven's Wheel." Aichi declared
" Those are the Heaven's Wheel swords. Infused with Sky flames, and with the Sky's Harmony factor, those swords can deal huge damage if any of its attack hits properly." Reborn said
The swords started to attack as Tsuna began to dodge them.
" There's only one thing I can do..." Tsuna muttered
The swords came at him again as he closed his eyes and concentrated.
" Zero Point Breakthrough."
The swords froze into ice as Tsuna flew up after that. However, Aichi appeared behind him.
" Not bad. But... You're too slow." Aichi said
He kicked Tsuna once more as another explosion occurred and Tsuna landed on the ground, unconscious.
" Jyuudaime!"
" Tsuna!"
" Don't look away. Thunder Cracker!" Misaki declared as ball of lightning hit Yamamoto and he also fainted.
" Same goes for you. Storm Dragon Claw Impact!" Naoki declared, his fist filled with Storm flames as he punched Gokudera to the ground and he also went unconscious
" Octopus Head!"
" Rain guy!"
" You left an opening. Sun Slash!" Miwa declared as he slashed Ryohei with his blade
" Ice Barrage!" Kamui declared as he sent out barrage of ice on Ryohei
Ryohei fainted as Lambo was crying.
" In the end, we couldn't bring ourselves to fight the kid." Miwa said
" Yeah..."
Chrome was trapped in Ren's mist after she got distracted with Gokudera and Yamamoto's defeat.
" Demon Waltz!" Ren declared
Shadows attacked Chrome from all sides as the mist dissipated and she had fainted. Now all that's left was Hibari who was still trying to find Kai in his clouds.
" Carnivore, stop hiding." Hibari said
A bullet shot out of nowhere as Hibari deflected it with his tonfas.
" Hn. Is that all?" Hibari ask
This time, the bullet was shot again but it suddenly split into many of it as Hibari tried to deflect all of them. A beam of Cloud flames hit him from behind without him knowing and he fainted as the clouds dissipated with Kai standing at the very place where the beam fired.
" Not much of a match." Kai scoffed
Aichi and Naoki landed as the seven gathered.
" Courage. Return to the skies." Aichi declared
Their forms disappeared and they returned back to normal.
" Brother Aichi! Your hand!" Kamui exclaimed
" You're an idiot! You took the X Burner straight on!" Naoki said
" I'm fine..." Aichi winced as he gripped his slightly charred hand
" We'll heal you when we get to the base. First, let's get these guys back there too." Miwa said
" Yeah!"
" You guys want to come along?" Misaki ask
Leon and the others walked over to them as Reborn and the others also decided to follow them.
" Hold onto us. Aichi will teleport us there." Kai said
Kai had held Aichi's shoulder as Miwa held his other shoulder. They slowly made a link with each other, including the knocked out Tsuna and the others as Aichi concentrated and they were teleported. They quickly arrived at a building as Kai and the others carried Tsuna and the others and headed in. They went into an infirmary as they placed them down.
" Now, let's treat that hand of yours first." Miwa said
" Yeah..."
Suddenly, there was a glow around Aichi's neck as he took out the pendant. Kai took it and opened it to see another type of herbs with the grinder and bandages. He tapped the bottomr mirror as they appeared on a nearby table.
" I'll prepare that. Miwa, do your best to treat that hand." Kai said, walking over to the table
" Roger."
Miwa sat Aichi down as he started to use his flames to heal Aichi. After awhile, Kai came back with the herbs that he had grind into paste again as he applied it onto Aichi's hand. Aichi winced a little while Kai wrapped the bandage after the application of the paste.
" Well, that goes to show that his attack was big and that you shouldn't be reckless. You could've just exploded that thing before it could hit you." Misaki said
" I just wanted to test it out..." Aichi said
" I think you should rest for the day. I'll bring you back to your room." Kai said
" Yeah..."
Both stood up as they headed out of the infirmary.
" Don't worry. We didn't deal any huge damage. Besides, they should be waking up soon if I'm not wrong." Naoki said
" Yeah."
A few minutes later, Tsuna and the others woke up as Naoki and the others immediately treated their wounds. Hibari then stood up to leave after his wound was treated.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you. This is our base. You'll get lost and plus, we're on top of a mountain in Italy." Miwa said
" Huh?!"
" Aichi teleported us here. Right now, he's resting in his room." Misaki said
" I-I see..."
Suddenly, they heard rushed footsteps as Kamui opened the door to see their men running towards somewhere as Naoki came out and stopped one of them.
" What's going on?" Naoki ask
" There's something wrong with the Boss." The man replied
" What?!"
Misaki looked out of the window to see the full moon.
" Oh no... It's the full moon!" Misaki exclaimed
" What?!"
They ran out of the infirmary as Tsuna and the others followed behind. Naoki and the others ran into a room where they could hear screaming from but the men outside quickly stopped Tsuna and the others.
" Who are you?!"
" Aichi-san's friends!" Tsuna said
" Never heard of you, so get out!" The man said
" You don't recognize this?! You're talking to the Vongola Jyuudaime here!" Gokudera said
The man gasped as he recognized the ring on Tsuna's hand.
" I'm sorry for my rudeness, Jyuudaime! Please enter!"
He opened the door as they ran in. They stopped when they were inside... Kai and the others were trying to calm Aichi down as he clenched his head and chest.
" Aichi, hang in there!" Kai said
" What's wrong?!" Naoki ask
" Brother!"
That was when Kai spotted a faint glow under Aichi's shirt as he unbuttoned a few of his buttons to see the mark heating up and glowing.
" What's this?!" Kamui exclaimed
" The pain must be coming from this! We need something to stop it!" Kai said
" It's impossible! The awakening happens when the full moon rises! We can't stop it!" Miwa said
" Then what can we do?!" Naoki ask
Kai took out the pendant after seeing the diamond shape in the center as he placed it onto the mark. The pendant glowed as they shielded their eyes. Once the glow dissipated, they opened their eyes to see that Aichi had stopped screaming and was sleeping soundly. A ring with a rainbow crystal was on his finger as they looked at it. Kai took out the pendant and buttoned Aichi's shirt back as Tsuna and the others approached.
" How is he?" Tsuna ask
" Sleeping soundly now. I think he's exhausted after all that." Misaki replied
" I see..."
" Don't worry. He's strong enough. Although, this ring does strike me as odd..." Miwa said, observing the ring
" Yeah... I've never seen anything like it before." Kamui said
" Leon-kun, you've been silent since just now. Do you have any idea?" Ren ask
" You got me. I found this on my island before you came to get us." Leon said, passing a book
They took it as they saw that the cover has the same marks on Aichi.
" I figured that maybe all this is connected." Leon said
" Nice job, Leon! Now let's see..." Naoki said
However, before they could open the book... A pink smoke engulfed all of them and when it dissipated, they disappeared from the room...
And that's the end of this chapter! I hope everyone won't mind that major time skip! And I'm sure rveyone knows what the ending means, right? So, I'll see everyone in the next chapter!
