Hibari snarled angrily, his metal tonfa press lightly against her throat. There was nothing the girl can do. Yet she smirks.
The girl suddenly pushed Hibari away. With a slight smile decorating her once sullen face, the brunette lightly skipped over the roof top ledge and even before Dino could even moved, the girl jumped.
Dino quickly woke up from his sleep to find himself in a garden. He frowns. For some odd reason, the garden seemed familiar…
"Hello. It seems we meet again." The young mafia don turned in surprise to see the mysterious entity in his dream sitting beside him, playing with something in her hands.
"You!" Dino yelped in surprise when he was pushed away by some invisible force when he attempts to grab the woman.
"I'm sorry,but you shouldn't have done that." The woman smiled lightly. "Now, aren't you going to ask me something?"
Dino frown, yet something prompt him to ask. "The girl in my dream… who is she?"
"Young Cavallone, she is someone you have to find."
"What do you mean 'before all is lost'? And that game of fate you mention before, what is it?"
The woman merely smiled as her left hand lightly traced the ring on his right ring finger. For some reason, it felt right to him.
"Young apostle of justice, you must seek your kins; the six guardians before the winter solstice or all is lost."
Dino suddenly found himself falling down, away from the mysterious garden and the woman that holds all the answers he was looking for. "Wait!"
"Let the sun guide you,young sky lordling and may you able to find the musical mist."
First Library, Cavallone Mansion
Romario was staring worriedly at his young boss. Ever since that fateful visit, Dino had being spending his waking hours inside the library, tearing the entire collection apart to find some sort of clue about the ring he was given to and about the 'game of fate' the woman in his dream had mentioned.
Silently, he entered the vast room with Dino's lunch to find him staring blankly out of the window, holding a journal.
"-sun. Let the sun guide me-" Dino frown. For some reason he was supposed know something about it. Holding the delicate journal, his frown deepens. If what was inside the journal was true… man he really need Reborn right now.
Reborn!
The girl was playing with a yellow pacifier. Sun. Reborn. Arcobaleno.
Dino quickly smack his head in frustration. Man, how can he be so stupid?
"Romario, prepare the jet. We're going to Namimori."
"Yes, Boss!"
Sawada Residence
Tsuna frowned as he saw a fleet of expensive cars parked outside his house and a battalion of men lounging near them. Dino-san must be paying another visit again.
Tsuna entered into his room to find a flustered looking Dino and a troubled Reborn. "Dino-san? What's wrong?"
"Dame-Tsuna. Just in time." Reborn smirked, yet something tells Tsuna that grin seemed a bit… forced. "Dino here just told me something good. Sit down and pay attention." He cocked his Leon gun at Tsuna. "Tell me once again, Dino. This time cut the crap."
Dino took a deep breath before pointing at the ring with the orange gem at his right ring finger. "A couple days ago, a woman came to the Cavallone estate and gave me this ring. She said something about destined for great things, you know." Now the young Mafia Don pulls out a thin journal out of his inner jacket pocket.
"Then I had this weird vision. A beautiful flower garden. There was a woman there. She called me the Sky Lord. She told us to protect the jewels and something about the game of fate."
"Us?" Tsuna asked frowning, still staring at the ring. For some reason, his Vongola ring felt warm.
Dino nodded. "There were six other people at the garden with us. But I couldn't see much though." He tapped impatiently at the journal in front of him. "Anyway, I made some research about this game of fate. Did you know Reborn, that Cavallone Primo's only sister was known as the apostle of justice? Apparently she was a holder for a certain Jewel of Fate."
Reborn frowned. "I believe you're talking about the Jewels of Fate, are you, Dino?" the infant arcobaleno squeaked. "A set of Jewels that said change someone's fate. I always thought that was a myth though. I supposed the woman in your dream told you to seek out the other six guardians?" Dino nodded.
Reborn petted Leon as he think back what he knew about the jewels, "They said the jewels are powerful enough but you have to use one of the Trinesette set in order to channel its power."
Dino stared at his ex-tutor, confused. "What do you mean Reborn?"
"Dino, held out your hand; the one with the ring." Confused, the mafia don held out his right hand. Quickly beckoning Tsuna forward, Reborn grab Tsuna's neck (where he hanged his Vongola Ring and the Nuts Ring on a simple chain necklace) and put the rings and chain onto Dino's open palm.
"Close your eyes." Reborn ordered.
The blond mafia don quickly complied and immediately saw a vision.
He was on a rooftop. For some reason the view from the rooftop seemed quite familiar albeit in a different angle. There, he can see a beautiful girl was playing a violin, her grey eyes half closed as she played the final few bars. Her violet earrings flashed in the soft sunset light.
"Well?" Reborn asked, while Tsuna was rubbing his neck uncomfortably, "What did you see?"
"A girl on a rooftop. She was playing a violin." Dino frowned. "For some reason, the view and the girl's uniform looked familiar."
All three suddenly looked up, when they heard a loud ruckus outside Tsuna's room.
"-Hahi! You are you calling a stupid woman?-"
"-Obviously that's you, baka Onna!-"
"-How dare you, desu?-"
Tsuna quickly open the door and step aside just in time as his storm guardian, Gokudera Hayato and Muira Haru tumbled into the room. The two adversary yelped as they collapsed onto the floor, the silveret unconsciously grab Haru and cushioned her fall.
"Ahh, Gokudera-kun? Haru-san?"
"-ah! Juudaime! Its not-not what it looks like!-"
"-Tsu-Tsuna-san! Ah!- "
"Ahh! That uniform!" Dino frantically grab Haru, ignoring Gokudera shocked yelp as the Italian accidentally stepped on him, "Muira-san! This uniform! Where…Muira-san, what school do you go to?"
"Hahi?" Haru blink. "Oh, Haru studied in Midori Middle, desu."
"At your school, this Midori Middle," Dino frowned, "is there a girl that played a musical instrument there? A violin? She has black hair and uh… steel-grey eyes, just like Kyouya's!"
"Ha-hi! You must be talking about Shiraishi senpai, desu!"
An apartment near Midori Middle
Looking up from the music sheets in front of her, the girl frowned. For some odd reasons, she felt like someone was talking about her.
The frown deepens as she absently played with the earrings she was wearing. The velvet box had appeared out of nowhere after that weird dream she had. Until now she can still remember the mysterious woman last words.
"Rejoice young mist! For thou hath being chosen to partake in the game of fate. Rise from the darkness and accept thy fate, time destroyer, holder of the Mist Earring of courage!"
