12.45 PM
"Uwah! I'm so full! The curry is so yummy!" Tsuki exclaimed while rubbing her stomach. She ran outside the Japanese restaurant.
"Sweetie! Don't run after you eat! You'll get a stomachache." Her mother walked to Tsuki, Ryouma close behind her smiling at his daughter's cute behaviour.
The Itou's have finished eating their lunch and now heading towards their ride. After getting past the imigration section. They boarded the private jet, the jet is about a half of a normal plane and is very expensive and luxurious looking. But somehow Tsuki got a bad feeling about riding the jet.
"What's wrong sweetie?" asked Aiko upon seeing her daughter nervous face.
"Nothing.. I'm just sleepy." Tsuki lied to her mother. 'What is this weird feeling? It's like telling me not to ride the jet.. No! I won't ruin our vacation just over a feeling!'
"Aww don't worry Tsuki, your ears won't hurt that bad! It's just temporary and I bought earmuffs for you too." Ryouma said to assure Tsuki. Ryouma is still confused where did his daughter get that information, maybe he'll ask her after landing on Italy.
13.15 PM
Tsuki and her family is now sitting in the private jet. Ryouma bought the jet just to be safe so his family won't be targeted on a public plane. Tsuki is sitting beside her mom, while Ryouma is sitting across them while reading a book.
"Passengers please put on your seat belt, the plane is taking off soon. Our staff will show you the safety manual." The stewardess said the three passengers. After a steward showed the safety manual, the family put their seatbelt on.
"Passengers, This is the pilot, we are now taking off ,we are taking off." A voice said.
The jet then moves and soon takes off, leaving Japan and to Italy and will take about 12 hours.
Somewhere at the rooftop of Namimori Airport
"The target has taken off. Let's wait for a couple hours before detonating the bomb." Agent C said to his phone. The said bomb is planted on the back of the jet, it's very small so it's hard to see it.
Back on the plane
'The bad feeling got worse. Should I tell my parents about this? No.. it's probably just me' thought the 5 year old girl while clutching her hands tightly. Tsuki had a really bad feeling about riding the jet. After thinking to hard she eventually fell asleep on her mother's shoulder.
15.35 PM
Tsuki just woke up after her nap. 'That feeling is still here.. Maybe I should tell my parents.' Tsuki finally agreed to trust her intitution and tried to talk to her family.
"Ummm Mom, Dad?" Tsuki called for her parents attention. Her parents turned to their calling daughter.
"Yes, sweetie? Oh! Did your ears started to hurt?" Ryouma guessed.
"No dad, that isn't it." Tsuki shook her head.
"What is it Tsuki-chan?" her mother asked softly. She woke up from her sleep upon hearing her husband and daughter's voice.
"There's this feeling. A bad feeling.. I got it when we board the plane. It's like telling me not to board the plane and when I ignored it, it got worse." Tsuki explained to the other two. "I'm sorry for not telling you.."
'What? Did my daughter activated the Vongola Intitution? No.. she's too young. But it might be possible. I'll be sure to discuss this with Nono when we land on Italy.' Ryouma thought while staring at Tsuki.
Aiko hugged her daughter and patted her on the head "Do not worry my little one.. I'm sure its just a feeling." Tsuki's bad feeling suddenly got worse but before she can reply to her mother-
BOOM
A loud booming sound is suddenly heard. The jet shook at the impact. "Sire! The tail of the plane was damaged badly! The fuel tank was damaged too, the fuel is leaking and there's a fire at the back of the plane." a panicking steward said to Ryouma. Tsuki paled, her intitution was right!
The jet is now falling. Ryouma immediately wrapped his arms around Aiko and Tsuki. Tsuki eyes is now glassy, tears threathening to fall despite her mother soothing words.
"We're going to crash..and this jet is on the verge of exploding." Ryouma said while holding his family tightly. "Ryouma! Isn't there anything, ANYTHING! We can do?!" Aiko shouted at the man. Tsuki is squinting her eyes. She's crying, shedding the tears she's been holding .
"This is the pilot. Altitude is dropping drastically! Prepare for impact!"
Then Ryouma lifted her daughter while holding his wife's hand, guiding them to the engine room. The room contains engines of the plane and a small escape pod. Aiko and Ryouma looked at eachother then at their beloved daughter.
"Tsukina.. remember.. remember to brush your teeth before going to bed." Tsuki stared confusedly with her puffy red eyes at Aiko. "Remember to do your homework ,to study hard for your future and eat healthy and a lot so you can grow up fast." Ryouma carries her daughter and puts her to the pod.
"Listen to your mother, Tsukina." Ryouma puts the seatbelt on her confused daughter.
"A-and don't stay up too late. Remember to take a bath and be a good girl. Be nice to everyone no matter how mean they are.." Aiko is now crying because she knew she had to say goodbye to her precious little girl. "Mom! P-please don't cry! I-I'll do everything you say to me.. I'll make you proud! So please stop crying.." Tsuki sobbed, trying to comfort her mother.
"Tsuki.. always remember that your mother and i will always love you. We will never stop loving you even we're apart and be strong for us." Ryouma kissed Tsuki's forehead. "Mommy and daddy will always watch over you.." Aiko smiled warmly and kissed Tsuki's right cheek.
"Goodbye Tsukina.. Don't ever forget that we love you very much." Both of her parents said.
Before Tsuki can react a layer of thick glass separated her from Ryouma and Aiko. Tsuki's eyes widened and starts banging the glass.
"MOM! DAD! DON'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU TOO! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" Tsuki bursted into tears, now understanding what her parents meant. They're going to sacrifice themselves to save her life. "MOMMY! DADDY! OPEN THE DOOR! I WANNA BE TOGETHER WITH YOU!"
Aiko and Ryouma only smiled sadly and puts their hand on the glass. Tsuki slowly reached out for the hands that have taken care of her for 5 years of her life. Tears are pouring out of her eyes, she'll gladly give up her life just to be together with the 2 person she loved the most.
Ryouma then pushed the button to eject the escape pod. The pod deattach itself from the plane and plummets down from the sky. A parachute opened and the pod started to slow down. Her eyes widened when she saw the jet explodes.
15.47 pm
Inside the pod, Tsukina is still crying from the shock and sadness. She already missed her parents.
"This is all my fault.. why didn't I tell my parents about that bad feeling from the first place we'll still be happy, still laughing, still together.." Tsuki blamed herself and her eyes were once again glassy.
"NO! Don't cry! Father says I have to be strong for him and mother. I will not cry again not infront of people so they will never see my weakness." Her resolve was firm and her amber eyes glowed. A small orange fire flared at her head, where her father kissed her forehead.
"I'll make my parents proud with my dying will." Her voice was firm but deeper, still childish but deeper.
15.50 pm
Soon, the pod landed in the middle of the street filled with curious bypassers. The pod actually landed on China where the street is very bust at that time. A nearby police is shocked that an escape pod suddenly landed.
The police ran to the pod and opened the glass window by pushing button. 5 year old Itou Tsukina is sitting in the pod, her eyes were dull and red from crying.
Among the crowds a dark haired woman with blue eyes and a small orange flower patern under her left eye stepped up and approached Tsuki and the police. "Mr Police. This girl came from a plane that just crashed not far from here." the woman said in mandarin to the police while looking at Tsuki then helping her out of the pod. The private jet exploded and crashed about five miles from here.
"ARIA-SAN!" a tall blond man appeared from the crowd "Where were you? I was worried an-" the blond man was cut when the woman, Aria looked at him with sad eyes and turned to Tsuki. The man looked at her and then at the young girl.
"Gamma.. her eyes are dull. I think she's traumatized, maybe she lost her parents." Aria hugged Tsuki to comfort her. Tsuki didn't resist she didn't even move, Gamma stared at Tsuki and feels sad for the girl.
"Mr Police please guide us to the police station. I want to take care of this girl." Aria firmly said to the police. The police just nodded and starts walking to the nearest police station. Aria followed with Tsuki in her arms, Gamma didn't complain because he knows this girl needed love.
18.32 PM
At the end of the day, Gamma and Aria with Tsuki holding her hand walked out of the police station. The police approved that Gamma and Aria could take Tsuki in temporarily until they found Tsuki's family that's willing to take care of her. Tsuki has calmed down to.
"Little girl, what's your name? my name is Aria and that is Gamma." Aria smiles warmly while introducing herself and Gamma to Tsuki.
"Tsukina, Itou Tsukina.." mutters quitely, shyly looking at Aria blue eyes.
"Tsuki-chan then! We'll be your friends from now on and we'll be taking care of you!" Aria was happy when she saw amber eyes looking at her with hope. She was really sad when saw Tsuki's dull and empty eyes.
"Well then Aria-san, Tsuki.. it's already late let's get something to eat." Gamma said to the girls.
"Aww Gamma! You're being nice! Usually you're so tsundere." Aria teased. Gamma blushed at this "Aria-san! Stop calling me a tsundere!"
Aria just giggled and ran. Tsuki for the first time in hours smiled. 'Maybe mom and dad guided me to meet these nice people.' Tsuki thought while looking up the sky and closing her eyes.
"Tsuki-chan! Come on we're gonna eat sushi for dinner!" Aria called, Gamma is next to her. His cheeks still pink from his boss's previous comment. "Coming!" Tsuki ran to catch up with them.
"But first let's do something about that dirty clothes." Aria's eyes sparkled while pointing at Tsuki's dusty clothes. Aria dragged Tsuki to a nearby departement store. Gamma just groaned wondering why his boss is such a shopaholic, Tsuki's clothes isn't even that dirty.
Aria's POV
15.47 pm
"Ahh I finally lost him. Hmph! Gamma is so strict! He doesn't even let me to go shopping alone." I said after running away from my blond subordinate.
"Now then.. I can go shopping freely!" I jumped happily. But then I saw a burning plane above me and something came off the plane. The plane exploded! Oh no.. the thing that came off the jet now got a parachute on! It must be an escape pod.
I ran to the direction where the pod landed. Pushing through the crowd, I saw a police bending down and inside the pod a little girl about 5 year old I think. Her dull amber eyes looked down and streaks were still on her cheeks, she's been crying. That time I felt a pang on my chest, I want to help the girl so bad.
"Mr Police. This girl is came from a plane that just crashed not far from here." I said in mandarin to the police while looking at the girl. I saw the burning plane crashing when I was running towards here. Then I helped the girl out of the pod.
"ARIA-SAN!" that voice.. Gamma "Where were you? I was worried an-" I looked at him and that seemed to silence him. I looked at the girl, her eyes she must've lost someone special without thingking I hugged the girl and said to Gamma "Gamma.. her eyes are dull. I think she's traumatized, maybe she lost her parents." I'm going to do my best to help this girl!
"Mr Police please guide us to the police station. I want to take care of this girl." I said seriously to the police and he nodded then he started walking. I followed him with the girl in my arms and Gamma closely following behind me.
18.32 PM
Finally! I convinced them to let me take care of the girl! Gamma opened the door and it was already night. I smiled looking at the girl who was holding my hand and I said "Little girl, what's your name? my name is Aria and that is Gamma." I hope she'll answer my question.
"Tsukina, Itou Tsukina.." the girl shyly looked at me. SO CUTE! Her name is so beautiful to! Her parents have done a good job naming her.
"Tsuki-chan then! We'll be your friends from now on and we'll be taking care of you!" I said to her. I don't want to say family to her.. It'll be awkward. Then I saw her beautiful amber eyes looking at me with hope. At that time a warm feeling spreaded across my heart, that's the time I swore to protect Itou Tsukina from any harm and will make her happy again.
"Well then Aria-san, Tsuki.. it's already late let's get something to eat." I was surprised Gamma didn't say brat or anything he's never good with kids except with Yuni.
"Aww Gamma! You're being nice! Usually you're so tsundere." I teased. Nope! Can't resist teasing him. Then Gamma shouted at me while blushing "Aria-san! Stop calling me a tsundere!" I ran away from Gamma then he followed me.
I looked at Tsuki who was looking at the starry sky and closing her eyes. I'm happy that she's starting open up. "Tsuki-chan! Come on we're gonna eat sushi for dinner!" I called her. Tsuki's eyes snapped open and started running towards me and Gamma "coming!".
I just noticed that her clothes are dusty.. Time for shopping! "But first let's do something about that dirty clothes." I pointed at her clothes. I grabbed her hand and walked towards a nearby departement store. I heard Gamma groaning probably because I'm shopping again.
So yeah! WOW I never thought I can write this long!
