CHAPTER 2-Going to Italy
"Reborn-sama, Luce-sama,we'll be landing in Japan a few minutes from now", the flight attendant said and Luce-nee gave her a small nod
"Thank you…can you please make sure that our baggage will be placed in the car?" Luce-nee said and the flight attendant gave a light bow before leaving.
Fifteen minutes went by in a flash and we are finally making our way down from the private plane and 5 bodyguards were assisting us.
"Sir…shall we go directly to the Vongola Estate or do you want to go somewhere else?", one of the bodyguards said and Reborn gave me a slight glance…one that tells me to make the choice.
"I…I actually want to go somewhere else by myself", I said and Luce-nee gave me a worried look.
"But Tsuna…"
"I'll be fine…don't worry too much Luce-nee, Reborn-nii"
"Fine…but you need to be back before lunch ok" Reborn-nii said and I gave them a small smile. "Then…I'll be off", I said and waved at them as they went inside the car and drove off.
"Let's see…I wonder where I should go", I said and slowly went to a nearby café to relax for a while and ask for directions.
"Good morning Miss…what do you want to order?" the waitress asked and gave me a small menu.
"Um…one chocolate milkshake and one chocolate cake",I replied and gave the menu back to the lady with a smile.
"Um…it will be served in 10 minutes Miss…" the waitress hurriedly said and returned to the counter.
I let out a deep sigh and looked at a nearby mirror…do I really look like a female? Sure…my brown hair reaches a little below my shoulders and I kept it in a neat ponytail. Luce-nee said that I also have big caramel eyes and a slender figure which is meant for a girl. But I was born a boy.
"I think this will make the 235th time I've been mistaken as a girl", I whispered and looked at the scenery outside. It's my second time coming in Italy…but I was still 7 years old when I first visited so I really don't know the surroundings.
"Here's your order Miss", the same waitress said as she placed the shake and cake on the table.
"Thank you", I said and took a sip from the shake.
"I'm guessing that you're not from here Miss?" the waitress said and I gave her a nod.
"I'm from Japan…this is my second visit here in Italy…but I'm not familiar with the place", I answered. "Do you know where I can buy a flower bouquet?"
"Oh…is it for someone special? There is a flower shop two blocks from here", the waitress answered.
"I see…thank you very much"
"You're welcome Miss"
"Hmm…actually you can call me Tsuna…thank you for helping me"
"No problem Miss…I can't help it..you look so adorable…come here anytime you want"
"Thank you…and you are?" I asked and tilted my head a little.
"I'm Yumi…my brothers own this café…I'm helping them", the waitress said.
"Nice to meet you Yumi…then…I'll be going now"
"Don't you want to stay for a while? Today is a Monday you know…and do you know what happens every Monday here? The Vongola visits the town", the waitress said happily."And they said that the Arcobalenos are also coming…isn't it amazing?"
"Oh…I guess so…but…I…", as I gave my reply the crowd started to gather and began to get noisy and screams can be heard…mostly from the girls though.
"I guess they are here then…let's go Tsuna", Yumi said and grabbed my hand as we went to join the crowd.
"Wait…Yumi…I'm really not…", and my vision began to get blurry…now that I remember it…I forgot to take my medicine because I was busy chatting with Yumi.
"Yumi…wait a minute…my head feels weird…my vision is getting blurry", I said and leaned to a nearby pole.
"Oh god..Tsuna are you alright…do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
"No…I'm fine…I just need to rest for a while"
"Ok…why don't we go back to the café then? We have a bed there so you can rest", Yumi worriedly said and slowly helped me walk to the direction of the café.
Giotto's POV:
"Visiting the town is really fun…but I can't get used to the screaming everytime we visit", I said and the others then began to laugh.
"We know how you feel Giotto… but it can't be helped…the people really seems to enjoy it", Asari replied with a smile. By the way Asari Ugetsu is my rain guardian…and he is a Japanese that's why he enjoys wearing traditional Japanese clothes every time.
"Tcch…those sounds are really a pain..but they are civilians so I can't shoot them", G said with a smug face. Gabrielle or G for short is my childhood friend slash right hand man slash storm guardian. He is easily irritated and has a short fuse like his younger brother.
"So where are we going TO THE MAX!?" Knuckles…my Sun guardian loudly asked and the others quickly covered his mouth. Knuckles is a priest slash a boxer…he and his younger brother really likes to shout a lot.
"Be quiet Herbivore", the short reply of my quite Cloud Guardian, Alaude said as he gave a cold glare. My Cloud Guardian is also the head of the Vongola's Intelligence Department…CEDEF.
"Nufufufufufu…we don't want to get caught by the crowd right? You should be thankful that I used illusion to lure the people out", my Mist Guardian, Daemon Spade proudly said. "So where are we going?"
"I want to go somewhere that I can sleep and relax",my Lightning Guardian Lampo said as he gave a long yawn. "What about that café? I guess we can go there"
"That's a good idea Lampo…I heard that café serves yummy treats…"my older cousin, Elena said as she grabbed her fiancé, Daemon.
"I guess there is no stopping her then", I said and all of us made our way to the said café.
Tsuna's POV
"Here you go Tsuna…here's a change of clothes…I'm really so so sorry…to think we would fell into a puddle", Yumi said and bowed down in apology.
"Don't mind it…it's my fault that you have to help me walk home" I said and glanced at the offered clothes…I explained to her earlier that I am actually a boy and she went into hysteria unbelieving someone with my looks is a boy.
"I doubt you'll fit into my brother's clothes knowing your figure…so you'll have to wear one of my pants…and don't worry the clothes are really fit for you", she said with a bright smile and I can't help but gulp. Girls are really scary if it comes to this things…I can still remember the clothes Luce-nee would make me wear."Ok…off you go to the bathroom…I'll be helping in the kitchen…so just go if you need anything"
"Alright…"
Giotto's POV:
"Should we go with vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream?" Takeshi, the cousin of Asari asked. Although they are cousin they grew up to be like brothers.
"Che..of course Chocolate,idiot, Giotto-sama likes Chocolate",Hayato the younger brother of G retorted.
"But Giotto also likes Vanilla", Takeshi retorted back with a smile.
"Giotto-sama clearly loves Chocolate more than Vanilla",Hayato replied.
"But he just ate Vanilla Ice cream earlier", Takeshi said and the two looked at me…one glaring and the other one smiling.
"Well…I actually like both…so calm down Hayato", I said and and the one-sided fight ended.
"Why don't we order now", Elena said and energetically called the waitress.
"What would you order then Miss Elena?" the waitress asked.
"The usual Yumi…16 of them", Elena said with a smile.
"Roger that, Miss Elena", the waitress named 'Yumi' replied.
"How many times did I tell you already to just call me Elena?" my cousin replied with a pout.
"Well, I can't get used to it" Yumi replied and went to the counter to place the order and went to the kitchen.
Ten minutes hurriedly passed and a familiar chime rang in the restaurant signalling that there is a new customer.
"I thought that you placed an illusion so that no one will know that we are here?" G said while looking at Daemon.
"But, I did…" Daemon said and 8 familiar people went inside.
"Yo, Decimo", the Cloud Arcobaleno, Skull said as he took off his purple helmet.
"Hello Giotto…long time no see", Fon, the Storm Arcobaleno greeted.
"It's been a while since you were graced with our presence", Verde, the Lightning Arcobaleno said as he tilted his glasses. In the other hand, the others sweatdropped.
"Sup, everyone…are you doing good?" Colonello said while wrapping his right arm to a nearby fellow Rain Arcobaleno.
"Touch me again…and I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU", Lal said and gave a glare at the smiling fellow Rain Arcobaleno.
"Mah, mah…what about you treat us to snacks Vongola?" Mammon, the hooded Mist Arcobaleno said as she went to the counter and added 8 more orders.
"Haha…sure Mammon", I replied and my right hand man started to add 8 more chairs to our long table. I turned my attention to the remaining two standing Arcobaleno, one clutching a cellphone and the other with a worried look on her face.
"Is something wrong Luce-nee, Reborn-nii?" I asked the two of them and they gave me a small smile.
"We are just waiting for someone", Luce-nee said.
"Luce I can't contact him…what if something bad happened?" Reborn said with a worried look and once again tried to call the said person.
"It is still one hour before lunch though…but it's rare for him not to pick up his phone", Luce replied with a worried look on her face.
"Are you looking for someone then? Maybe we can help", I said and the two of them looked at each other.
"Actually, Giotto…we are looking for….", Luce-nee said and the others in the room suddenly gasped.
Tsuna's POV:
I hurriedly dressed up in the clothes Yumi gave to me. Well…it looks like a boy's clothing so I guess it is not so bad. I hurriedly put on the green hoodie and blue pants and looked at the mirror for the last time.
"Guess I have to find Yumi now…I also left my bag inside the shop so I have to go there so that I can drink my medicine", I said and slowly made my way into the kitchen.
"Hello Yumi…", I greeted and saw Yumi preparing a lot of plates and drinks. "Do you need some help?"
"Ah hello Tsuna…I knew it suits you…a group of customers came so I have to prepare their orders", Yumi said. "You're a guest so just rest…do you need something?"
"Actually, I left my bag at the shop so I was hoping if it is okay to go there", I said and Yumi just gave me a big smile.
"Of course…today is a lucky day", Yumi said and started to hum.
"Did something happen?" I asked and Yumi's hum started to get louder.
"See for yourself…you'll be surprised", Yumi said and I then made my way to the shop...the guests seems to be inside the VIP room and I hurriedly got my bag placed on the top of a chair. I felt my phone vibrate and I hurriedly searched my phone. I hurriedly scanned my phone and saw 100+ missed calls all from Reborn-nii.
"Tsuna…I know I said that you can't help but can you please open the door?"Yumi said while holding two trays in each hand and one on her head.
I then opened the room door and didn't even look inside but I heard a lot of noise though.
"Luce I can't contact him…what if something bad happened?" a familiar voice said.
"It'still one hour before lunch though…but it's rare for him not to pick his phone", another familiar voice said.
"AHHHH", a scream came from Yumi and I saw the tray on her head fall down and luckily a pair of hands grabbed the plates and safely placed them on the ground.
"THANK YOU", Yumi said as she exhaustedly sat down on the ground.
"Tsuna…my soul almost flew earlier", Yumi said and I slowly went towards her to help her stand up. At that moment I started to feel light-headed and my vision became blurry again. I have to take the medicine now. Before I can turn back…I heard loud gasps on the room and saw 24 familiar figures in the room…two of them are Reborn-nii and Luce-nee.
"Tsuna?" Luce-nee said to break the silence and I hurriedly turned around but before I can even make a step, my body gave up and I trampled down to the ground.
"TSUNA!" I heard Reborn-nii shouted as I felt a lot of people rushing by my side and I felt the familiar hand of Luce-nee on my forehead.'They're here? He's here? '.These are the last thoughts I had before I blacked out.
