Infinite Sky
Summary: Being sent to live with the Kinomotos was meant to keep her safe, this was what her mother said. But between magical cards, talking plushies, the mafia and an Spartan baby tutor, Tsuna didn't think she was all that safe. FemTsuna.
Beta: CeresNamikaze (No one is perfect, so maybe you will find a error here and there)
Just a warning: FemTsuna, AU
Just so you know (Cards): The order of capture will be a little different here because of Tsuna presence. The same way a few cards target Sakura - and Syoran -, some cards will target Tsuna and she will capture them. I too will base a few captures on the manga just because XD
Just so you know (Name): Tsuna name here is Tsunasora; 'Tsuna' means 'Bond' while 'Sora' is 'Sky', so I think you can consider the full meaning of the name as 'Bonds of the Sky' or even 'Sky that Bonds' or something... I just wanted to do something different from the always used Tsunami, Tsunayume, Tsunayuki, Tsunahime, Setsuna etc. Don't know if anyone else already used this name...
I don't own KHR or Cardcaptor Sakura, Amano Akira and CLAMP does.
Her First Friend

Reborn
The first thing that came to Reborn mind when he saw Sawada Tsunasora for the first time was: Primo.
His future student was a female Giotto.
Ignoring the obvious difference between the two - like gender and the hair color for example -, they could be considered twins. Tsunasora's eyes even had the same light shade of orange that Giotto did when he wasn't in Hyper Dying Will Mode. To tell the truth, Reborn couldn't see Iemitsu on his daughter (If he hadn't known she was the man precious and "useless" daughter, the hitman would have never believed she was related to the CEDEF boss), there was only Nana and Giotto on that girl.
He would have so much fun telling this to that idiot blonde who liked to brag about how his daughter looked like him. This would enter his list 'How to get my revenge on all that wrong information he gave me'.
It hadn't been difficult to enter the Kinomoto house with Leon's help (After all, his chameleon was full of talents and transforming into a key compatible with the key hole of main door of the house wasn't a challenge to the chameleon). All the family members - plus a gray haired boy - were standing in the kitchen, talking about the tutor "Nana" had called for Tsunasora. Of course, it hadn't been Nana who had talked to Fujitaka, but him. The woman voice and mannerisms had been really easy to copy (Well the mannerisms of when she isn't trying to shoot or kill you because she thinks you want to hurt her daughter).
Shaking his head, Reborn decided to make his presence known.
"Ciaossu." The group turned their attention to him. Each of them having a different reaction; Fujitaka and the gray haired boy tilted their heads confused; the little girl - Sakura - blinked her eyes while saying a faint 'Hoe?' and the oldest boy - Touya - narrowed his eyes at him with suspicion.
He raised an eyebrow when he noted the reaction of the future Vongola Tenth. It had truly interested him and it was good sign for the future. She showed having a great control of the Vongola Hyper Intuition when she gave a step back as if someone had just warned her that even if he looked like a baby, he was dangerous.
Reborn hummed.
"A baby?" The gray haired boy kneeled next to him. Smiling kindly, though, Reborn couldn't help but narrow his at him. There was something wrong with this boy. "Where did you come from? Are you lost?"
"Did we leave the door open?" Touya muttered with a scowl.
Tilting his head, Reborn smirked. "Hm? I'm Reborn, the home tutor."
"Hooee? The home tutor?" Sakura yelled, pointing in his direction.
Fujitaka placed a hand in his chin, humming. "Are you, perhaps, a baby genius?"
Reborn blinked his eyes. Now, this was a reaction he hadn't expected, no one ever came to this conclusion before.
"Genius?" Tsunasora asked, pointing to him as she stared at Fujitaka with disbelief.
With a smile, Fujitaka nodded. "I don't think your mother would lie about the tutor. So this is the only explanation I have for his presence."
Tsunasora stared at him before nodding in acceptance. With a sigh, she turned her attention to Reborn who raised an eyebrow. "I'm Sawada Tsunasora." Reborn smirked, interested. Well, she had manners, he thought as she bowed, narrowing her eyes at him. "Pleasure to meet you, Tutor."
Reborn lowered his fedora a little, hiding his smirk as he understood the hidden message she was giving him. He then smirked, sending a message of his own.
Truly, Reborn thought that he was going to enjoy teaching Sawada Tsunasora. She was different from his previous student.
"Indeed." Reborn said.
Sakura clapped her hands together. "Why don't we eat? Tsuna-neechan can get to know her tutor better after dinner." She smiled happily.
Fujitaka chuckled and nodded as he looked at Reborn with a kind smile. "Shall we?"
Reborn nodded while Touya and Tsunasora grumbled in displeasure.
00
After dinner, the gray haired boy (who Reborn later found out was named Tsukishiro Yukito) left the house and while Fujitaka and Sakura were washing the dishes, Reborn and the other two residents of the house left to Tsunasora's room, where they took a seat next to her bed and stared at each other (Actually, Touya and Tsunasora were glaring at him, but it didn't matter to Reborn).
"You're not here to tutor her." Touya folded his arms as he broke the silence between them.
Reborn raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe."
Tsunasora shook her head. "Really, what do you want? Differently from Touya, I believe that you are here to tutor me, but for what? I don't need help, my lowest grade is 97."
Reborn smirked.
"My true line of work is assassination -"
Before anything else could be said, there was a flash of light. Maybe, if he hadn't been blinded by the light or surprised by what happened, he would have protected himself. But he stayed where he was and the next thing he knew was that he was inside a bubble of water and holding his breath.
When he found what attacked him, Reborn almost didn't believe in what he was seeing.
Touya, he noted, was in front of Tsunasora in a defensive stance and narrowed eyes, but what really surprised the hitman was the two beings in front of the two teens. A cloaked figure made of pure shadows and a mermaid made of water who was the one holding him prisoner. He couldn't see the cloaked figure face, but if it was anything like the mermaid's, then it was ready to kill him.
Kill him because of Tsunasora; he realized.
Those strange beings were protecting his student.
Now this was interesting... He wasn't sure what those beings were, but Reborn knew that it was something that could be used in the future.
Tsunasora's lips moved. He couldn't hear anything, but he wasn't the best hitman of the world for nothing. Understanding what she just said hadn't been too difficult.
Let him go, Watery, Tsunasora said.
The mermaid looked at her, shocked. She shook her head and pointed to him as if asking if Tsunasora was serious. When the girl nodded, the mermaid let him go, although she didn't look happy in doing so.
Reborn coughed a little when he touched the ground and looked at the two beings that were still there. Turning his head, he saw Leon being hold by vine from the shadow of Tsunasora's bed.
So this is why he didn't help me...
"You're an assassin..." He looked at Tsunasora, trying not to stare at her strange protectors. "Say I believe you, which I do if your declaration made Watery and Shadow react so aggressively, why are you here? To kill me?" The mermaid snarled at this, showing Reborn her sharp teeths and glaring with glowing red eyes.
Reborn cleaned his throat and composed himself before answering. "As I was going to say; my real job is to make you a mafia boss."
Tsunasora blinked.
Shadow and Watery tilted their heads, confused.
Touya facepalmed.
"A... Mafia boss?" Touya shook his head. "Tsuna? A mafia boss? You have got to be kidding me!" He heard the boy mutter to himself over and over again.
Tsunasora groaned. "This is my father's fault isn't it? What did he do? Kill the heir of some famiglia and now I have to take his place?"
Reborn nodded, not even surprised that she blamed her father. Not after everything that the man did to her and her mother. "In a way. It is Iemitsu's fault."
The girl groaned and muttered something like 'Mom is going to kill him with a frying pan when she hear this'. With a sigh, she shook her head and looked at her protectors with a small smile. "Is alright guys, he wouldn't hurt me."
The I think was left unsaid.
The cloaked figure nodded a little hesitant and, to Reborn fascination, transformed into a card in a flash of light and floated to Tsunasora's bed. The mermaid, on other hand, snarled again and shook her head, growling at Reborn.
"Watery..." The mermaid lowered her head at the warning tone of Tsunasora's voice. With a sigh, the mermaid too transformed into a card and joined the other card.
Pitching her nose, Tsunasora looked at him with annoyance.
"Explain." She said.
"I came here because I was requested from the current Vongola boss, the Ninth, to train you - Sawada Tsunasora - to become an admirable Mafia boss."
Tsunasora shook her head with frustrated a expression. "I still don't understand why me and why it is my stupid father fault." Tsunasora blinked her eyes when he raised a paper with her family tree on it, in front of her face.
"When the Vongola family's first boss retired, he came to Japan with his family, changing his family name. He's your great-great-great-grandfather." He made a pause and added, in case Tsunasora didn't understand what this meant. "From your father's side of the family."
The young girl gave him a deadpanned expression. "Of course..."
Touya opened his mouth to speak, but he was interrupted by someone knocking on the door. The door opened and Fujitaka entered the room with a smile.
"Touya, Tsuna-chan, it is better if you two go to sleep. Don't you have to work tomorrow Touya?" The boy nodded as his father turned his attention to Tsunasora. "And didn't you say you were going with him?"
Tsunasora sighed. "I forgot about it…" She made a pause. "Wait, where is he going to sleep?" She asked, pointing in his direction.
Fujitaka smiled.
"Reborn-san? In your room of course."
There was a moment of silence.
"EH?! IN WHAT BED? I HAVE ONLY ONE!"
Fujitaka tilted his head and was ready to answer, but Reborn interrupted him before he could utter any word.
"I will have your bed; you can sleep on the floor."
"WHO SAID YOU CAN HAVE MY BED?!"
Tsuna
After a lengthy discussion, the final decision was that Reborn would stay in Tsuna's room until his own room was ready (The baby had even asked Fujitaka to put two bunks there, if possible. Why, nobody knew, but the patriarch of the family agreed).
That night and the next three nights, Tsuna slept on the floor with a grimace while Reborn slept in her bed with his eyes open - as creepy as it was -. The girl would have tried to get him out of her bed in the middle of the night if the baby hitman hadn't placed several bombs and grenades around the bed.
Honestly, she did not know if they were real, but Tsuna didn't want try her lucky and find out. Especially when Reborn started to "teach" her the day after he arived. The baby was a demon in human skin.
In a certain morning, she woke up before Reborn. Tsuna then put a simple dress and got all the things she wanted to take with her and placed them inside her backpack (which was shaped like a bunny (a gift from her mother before she moved with the Kinomotos). Today, like in others days, she would acompany Touya to his job. Although, this time, she was just going to watch him.
After finishing her preparations, she was soon cornered by Reborn who was pointing a green gun toward her (And to think that gun was actually his chameleon! If she had not seen that talking plushy before, Tsuna would have started to believe she was getting mad). The hitman then forced her to sit down and start reading a book about the Mafia' bosses.
"The mafia boss, a leader who rules a criminal organization. Able to move a number of trusted member with one hand, willing to risk even his life for the family, surrounded by the respect and admiration of all, seen as a hero by the children of the slums -" Tsuna blinked and lowered the book in her hand. She ignored the gun that was now pointed to her face (Reborn did like doing that) and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Why did you stop?" She heard Reborn ask.
Turning her attention to him, Tsuna frowned as she stood up, straightening her clothes and walking toward the door. Pausing with her hand on the doorknob, she looked at Reborn by corner of her eyes.
"It's my turn to prepare breakfast."
Reborn lowered his gun and nodded. "Very well, but you will have to read it every morning. After all, you're the one who will become the Tenth Vongola Boss." She waved a hand dismissively, not even losing her time saying that she didn't agreed with nothing of this knowing that Reborn would just ignore or threaten her.
Tsuna nodded and opened the door and closing it before Reborn could follow her, although this action was proven futile when she raised her eyes and saw the fedora wearing baby sitting above her head.
With a resigned sigh, she walked to the kitchen, opening a few cabinets with a look of concentration, thinking about what she would cook. In the end, she decided to make pancakes and asked Reborn to sit in a chair since she didn't want to cook with him in her head. The baby didn't answer, but did as asked.
After a few minutes, Fujitaka and Touya entered the kitchen and greeted Tsuna. They took their seat and waited for Tsuna to place the plates in the table. Tsuna smiled as she looked at the pancakes that she had prepared and with a satisfied nod, she approached the kitchen counter and pulled the cups of expresso that she had made for Fujitaka and Reborn (She wasn't sure if the baby could actually take caffeine, but after he threatened her with his gun, Tsuna decided that it was better if she didn't refuse him when he announced that he wanted expresso every morning).
"Morning!" Came the enthusiastic voice of Sakura, making Tsuna look at the younger girl as she entered the kitchen.
"Cioassu." Reborn said as Tsuna handed his cup of expresso to him and did the same to Fujitaka who closed his newspaper.
Fujitaka smiled at his daughter. "Good Morning."
Tsuna grinned at her cousin. "Morning, Sakura."
"The monster is on cloud nine..." Touya muttered as Sakura walked to her seat, humming to herself happily.
Sitting between Reborn and Touya, Tsuna snickered in amusement when Sakura clenched her fists and growled. To the orange eyed girl utter surprise, instead of yelling at her older brother, Sakura only turned towards Touya with a smile.
"Today I'll forgive you." Sakura said.
Still humming, she took the seat next to her father.
Fujitaka leaned closer to her with a smile. "You're really in a good mood today, Sakura-chan."
Sakura smiled. "I'm going out with Tomoyo-chan today..." She blinked when he gave her a sad smile.
"Sorry, Sakura, but you won't." Tsuna said a little uncomfortable. She wasn't happy with the fact that Sakura mood was going to be completely destroyed.
Sakura blinked her eyes confused while her brother placed the chore board on the table.
"You're doing all the chores today." Touya said.
Tsuna nodded. "Sakura-chan, you wrote it down last week."
Sakura leaned with a sad expression as she whispered a low 'Hoe!'. Tsuna shook her head when the young girl lowered her head, eating the pancakes with what could only be described as anime tears and a cloud of depression above her head.
When everyone finished eating, Sakura was staring at the board with a blank expression - as if she was having a flashback - and Touya passed by her.
"Well, I got work today." Sakura shook her head and nodded.
Tsuna, seeing that the boy was walking away, approached the young girl and patted her head, making her cousin look at her. "I will be going too."
Sakura smiled. "Ok, Tsuna-neechan, have a good day."
Tsuna gave her a wink and waved her hand as she walked out of the kitchen with Reborn – again - sitting above her head.
"How can you always sit in my head without my knowing it?"
"Is one of my hitman skills." There was a pause. "And you're too slow."
"Of course..." She shook her head, running after Touya who was already riding his bike. "Touya, you meanie! Don't leave me alone with him! Ouch! Reborn!"
"Don't talk as if I am not here."
00
Sitting in the restaurant that Touya was working as a waiter, Tsuna smiled as she stared at the card in her hands. Before arriving at the restaurant, Touya had stopped along the way and gave her the card with a smirk in his face. A smirk that got bigger when the young girl started throwing praises and more praises at him.
Placing the card on the table, she took a pen and her others cards from her backpack. Placing the cards next her new one and wrote her name below the name of each card. For some reason she thought it was necessary to write her name on them, as if they could be taken from her if she didn't.
Humming, she stared at the last card.
The Wood.
The card, which Tsuna decided to call 'Watery and Shadow's sibling', had been found by Touya beneath the carpet of the living room that morning before he had gone to the kitchen.
Wood was a beautiful nymph like woman with long green leaf-like hair with vines and wearing a tiara made of leaves. And although Tsuna was happy that she had a new card friend, Tsuna couldn't help but be sad to see that Wood's face was void of any emotion.
Was she sad?
Maybe, Tsuna thought, she could ask her later...
"Eh? Is that true?" The orange eyed girl blinked looking at a group of girls sitting not too far from her.
Reborn too seemed interested, or so she thought. After all, he had stopped drinking his expresso.
"Yes!" One of the girls, a red haired one, nodded. "I too saw it! But I think you're wrong Naomi! When I crossed the bridge near the park two nights ago, I saw a bloodied girl with gruesome red eyes who emerged from the water."
The girl, who Tsuna thought was Naomi, frowned. "Well, I saw a giant dragon."
"You guys are crazy." The third girl of the group huffed. "There is a Kappa living there!"
"Maybe it is a place where different ghost and monsters live?" A long black haired girl muttered, a little nervous.
Tsuna raised an eyebrow.
Ghost?
She blinked her eyes and looked at her cards. It wasn't much, but she could see a faint light coming from Watery and Shadow.
"Is… Is it one of you?" She muttered.
The cards pulsed, giving a warm feeling before they stopped glowing.
"Tsuna."
Turning around, Tsuna gave a sheepish smile as she saw Touya standing next to her table with narrowed eyes.
"No." She blinked her eyes and stared at him.
"But Touya, it could be a card like Shadow and -"
"No."
"But –"
"I said no, Tsunasora."
He sighed, rubbing his temple.
"First, if you think I will let you walk around - at night - alone, you are extremely wrong. Second, you don't even know which bridge it is. There is more than one in Tomoeda. And third, you don't know if it is really a card. This could be the work of a vengeful spirit or a youkai, Tsunasora. You could get hurt. It is dangerous. So no. You won't be going after it."
Tsuna looked at his eyes for what seemed to be a long time before sighing and nodding in agreement and defeat.
She was sad for not having the opportunity to see if what those girls were talking about was a card like Watery, Shadow and Wood. She really wanted to meet another card and make new friends. But Touya was right and she couldn't really go against him.
"Yes, Touya…"
He patted her head. "Good girl."
Tsuna gave a big smile closing her eyes happily as he patted her.
"You're really just like a kitten." She heard him chuckling when she pouted.
Not far away from the two a fedora wearing baby hummed.
Reborn, who listened to the rest of the conversation of the group of girls and knew where the bridge was, was making plans of how he would convince those two to cross the bridge near the'Great King Penguin'park.
After all, those cards seemed to be powerful enough and he wanted his student to have that power, not her cousin. Tsunasora would need as much power as possible to survive the Mafia World (especially because she was a girl), her cousin didn't and the small girl was safe from the underworld.
00
Tsuna wasn't ashamed to admit that she was afraid of the glint on Reborn's eyes as they walked back home.
That evil Spartan baby tutor from hell was planning something.
Something related to her.
"I don't like his smirk." Touya muttered, pushing his bike as they followed Reborn.
Tsuna could only nod; wishing her cards weren't inside her backpack. She would feel safer with them in her hands.
"Tsuna…"
"Yeah…?"
"Is that the bridge near the 'Great King Penguin' park?"
Tsuna blinked, looked around and turned her attention to Touya who was glaring at Reborn. Warning bells started to ring in her head, making her wince.
"I don't think we should be here, Touya…"
Before he could answer, Reborn interrupted him; "We won't be going back."
Touya looked at him in anger while Tsuna looked around with a whole new level of paranoia, as if something was going to jump out from nowhere and was going to attack them at any moment. Touya brought Tsuna closer to him as they approached the bridge.
"After all," Reborn said. "this park isn't too far from your house. We will get there in no time."
Tsuna bit her lip because liking it or not, he was right.
Tsuna grabbed Touya's arm when she heard screams and a few girls came running in their direction, screaming about what each of them had seen on the pond. Like with girls from the restaurant, each one of those girls too had seen different things.
The girls ran pass them, but Reborn didn't stop walking nor does the two cousins, who even if they wanted, couldn't leave the baby alone. If Fujitaka found out that they left the hitman behind, he would be very disappointed with them and this was the last thing they wanted.
The warning bells in her head got louder and all Tsuna could hear was 'Danger danger danger'. She looked around and stopped walking. The other two copied her and followed her gaze when she focused her attention to the water.
Something started emerging from deep under water and Touya tensed.
"There is something there, isn't it?" Reborn asked, although Tsuna wasn't paying too much attention to him or Touya.
"Yes." Touya replied. "Can't you see or sense it?"
"I can sense it..." Reborn said, a little annoyed. "But all I'm seeing is the 'Great King Penguin' floating slide over the water."
"What about you, Tsuna?"
She didn't answer, too focused on the figure on the water.
"Tsuna?"
"Mamoru-kun..."
Tsuna knew that she would be scolded - or maybe Reborn would shoot her - later for what she was going to do. But at the moment, she just didn't care nor did she thought she was in control of her actions. She pushed Touya away, dropping her backpack, and ran.
And ignoring everything her instincts were trying to tell her, she jumped on the water.
Touya
Tsuna...
Tsuna, Tsuna, Tsuna, Tsuna, Tsuna!
Touya was frozen, his heart was beating hard against his chest and he couldn't breath as he looked at the pond.
He had tried to grab her. He had tried to stop her and maybe walk far away from the pound as he could after that. But Touya was ashamed to admit that he had been too stunned to move when she pushed him away with tears in her eyes and muttering a name over and over as she jumped on the water.
Mamoru? Mamoru?
Who was Mamoru?
Was he important enough to make Tsuna jump in the water just because she thought she saw him?
When he finally woke up from his stunned state, he saw Reborn trying to jump after her only to be abruptly thrown back by some kind of invisible force. The fedora wearing baby landed a few feet away from him and Touya could hear the baby cursing under his breath.
Cursing, Touya looked around. He was sure that if he jumped after Tsuna from the same place Reborn had tried; what happened to the baby tutor would happen to him. Making his decision, he jumped from the bridge and climbed halfway over the railing. Taking a deep breath, he jumped on the water.
Though, he hadn't been the only one.
Watery, who he thought must have sensed that Tsuna was in danger (and from what he had seen, Tsuna's cards had this strange urge to protect their owner at any cost), passed by him with a furious expression and glowing eyes.
In the water, it seemed like Tsuna was hugging someone and if he wasn't wrong, that someone was hugging her back the grip on her was too painful causing his cousin to run out of air and start losing conscious. Before the person could vanish, by transforming into a ball of energy and going away, Watery trapped it on a cage of water with a snarl.
Touya cursed when he finally reached Tsuna, who had already been drifting to the bottom of the pond. He didn't know if he could get out of the pond in time of saving Tsuna.
Before he knew it, he was holding Tsuna close to his chest and was being pushed out of the pond by Watery. As he got out of the pond and was placed on the ground, Touya had only two things in his mind. The first was that he was beginning to like those magical cards, especially if they all were as protective of Tsuna as Watery.
And the second…
If that baby tries to place Tsuna in danger again, I will kill him. Hitman or not. Baby or not.
Tsuna
Tsuna was five when she made her first friend. Her mother always thought that Mamoru was her imaginary friend; after all, he only visited her on her dreams. But her older brother figure was real and Tsuna knew it. He had told her so when she asked if he was fruit of her imagination and he endded explaing his powers to her.
It didn't matter what others said or that having a supposed imaginary friend was one of the reasons her classmates started calling her Dame-Tsuna. To her Mamoru was special.
Mamoru always made she feel better and safe. He had a sadist side but he kept her company, and in exchange, Tsuna kept him sane. Sane from what and about what she never found out, he never told and she never asked. Especially not when she knew it was a painful topic to him.
Tsuna never found out what happened to her precious protector, her Mamoru. He had just disappeared one day, and as time passed, his image was placed in the back of her mind. It hurt too much to think that he had left without saying good bye or that something had happened to him and she had done nothing to help.
So when she saw him in the water, all she could think was;
Mamoru-kun, why did you leave me?
Mamoru-kun, did you come back for me?
But when she jumped on the water and Mamoru started to push her to the bottom of the pond, not caring if she drowned, Tsuna started to cry. She had been distraught. More question started to form in her mind as she started to blackout. Was he angry with her? Was Mamoru lonely and wanted her company? Why was he doing that to her?
Mamoru-kun…
Big brother, don't you love me anymore?
"…ra…"
"…sora…"
"…TSUNASORA!"
Her eyes snapped open and coughed water.
"Tsuna…" She heard a relieved sigh. A little dizzy, Tsuna turned her head to see Touya staring at her with pure relief in his eyes. "I thought I had lost you."
"S-Sorry, but –"
He shook his head, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her closer.
"Don't do something like this again, brat." Tsuna blinked her eyes and nodded, hugging the older boy back.
"…Sorry…."
"Who is Mamoru?" Turning around, the two turned their attention to Reborn. The hitman was standing beside a furious Watery who was glaring at a big bubble of water. Inside the bubble, Tsuna saw her beloved brother again. But knowing that Touya would be furious with her if she tried to approach Mamoru and being afraid of what would happen, Tsuna stayed where she was.
"M-My childhood friend in a way… My big brother."
Touya eyes widened in realization. "The imaginary friend your mother liked to talk about?" She looked at him. "Nana-san came to visit a few times as you know. When she talked about you, she liked to say how cute you were because of your imaginary friend."
"He wasn't an imaginary friend!" She snapped. "He was real!"
He looked at her with disbelief. "Tsuna, you could only see him in your dreams."
"That's because his powers allowed him to visit my dreams! He could use…"
Tsuna mouth dropped; her eyes widened as she turned her attention to the Mamoru look-alike trapped on Watery's bubble.
"…illusions…" Watery smirked and folded her arms, nodding her head proudly. Tsuna wanted to smack herself. She should have thought about it since the beginning! Especially when she knew that everyone saw something different. "That is not Mamoru. It is an illusion!"
Smugly, Watery turned her attention to the bubble and pointed to Tsuna. At first nothing happened, not till Watery growled. There was a flash of light and the next thing Tsuna knew, she was holding a card. Differently from her other cards, there was no fixed form to this one. It resembled a shifting kaleidoscope and the only colored part on the card was the image near the center which had the form of some kind of gem.
At the bottom, just like the others, was the name of the card.
"The Illusion…"
"I don't think you should stay with this. It tried to kill you." Touya said, glaring at the card. "You should destroy it."
"No, it could be useful in future. She stays with the card." Reborn said.
Touya growled. "Listen hear you –"
"I will stay with it." Reborn smirked and Touya looked at her in shock. "Not because it will be useful or anything, but because if it stayed free, it could really hurt someone in the future and…" She looked at Watery. "It is Watery sibling. I won't threw her siblings away or destroy them."
Watery smiled to her and transformed into her card form, flying to Tsuna hand.
Touya gave a tired sigh before patting her head. "You're too kind for my liking Tsuna."
"Nah, you love me."
"Maybe… Oh, before I forget…" He smacked her head. Hard.
"Ouch! Touya!"
BANG!
"HIIE! REBORN!"
"If you try to kill yourself again…" Touya started.
Reborn narrowed his eyes, pointing his gun at her. "We will kill you."
Tsuna could only groan in pain.
Why her?
Kero
Kerberos, the Sun Guardian of Clow, was confused.
Absolutely and utterly confused.
At first, his confusion was mostly focused on Sakura's cousin. Sawada Tsunasora. The girl had enough power to create her own cards, and she was so young. Younger than Clow when he finally had the capacity to start creating his cards! But her power… Her power was strange. While Sakura had an affinity to the Sun, her magical power was mostly under the Stars, what had been seen only one time in history from what Clow had told him. Tsunasora's magical power, on other hand, wasn't under the Sun, or the Moon or the Stars.
It was… It was incredible and beautiful.
Her power was like the Cosmos itself. Powerful, infinite, full of possibilities and the one that accepted all. Be it planets, stars, the moon, the sun, light or dark. It doesn't matter, it will be always welcomed.
He never saw something like that.
Aside from her magical power, Tsunasora - and that fedora wearing baby that Kero saw with her – had another power with her. It was really warm and even as powerful as her magic, but he didn't think much about that since he didn't know what power was that and because it seemed to be sealed. Although he could tell the seal was disappearing little by little every day.
He could have never felt it, if it wasn't because Sakura had captured more cards. He still wasn't strong enough, but he had noticed a few more things.
Tsunasora magical reserves, for example, were big because she was unconscious using her magic to have a better balance, have a better memory, to be faster and stronger, things like that.
Now... The reason to why he was absolutely and utterly confused...
When Sakura told him about an incident at school, he thought it could have been the Shadow card. But the card hadn't been there when him, Sakura and Tomoyo decided to go after it. Kero had felt Shadow's presence, but the card hadn't been there.
When she told him about the aquarium incident, he was sure it had been Watery. But again, when their group decided to go after it, Kero could feel the card presence, the little magic it had left behind. But the card itself wasn't there.
The third time he felt the imprint of a Clow Card, but didn't found the card itself was today. He was helping Sakura with her chores and by the end of the day, Kero had been really happy that Sakura was lucky enough to find The Rain between her father's things, but he was really frustrated that he felt a Clow Card presence on the living room, but saw no signs of the card. This time, it had been Wood.
Truly, if the cards continued to disappear like that, Kero would start to go insane. He just couldn't understand it. There was no explanation for this...
Unless…
"UNLESS THERE IS ANOTHER CARD CAPTOR!" Kero yelled, letting his spoon fall on the ground as he paled.
This was not good.
Not good at all…
Her First Friend
I hope you guys liked. I did XD Especially because I got to write Kero point of view.
The Cosmos based magic exist because I wanted to give Tsuna her own type of magic, something that could be similar to her Flames. I chose Cosmos because all the others types of magic are... How to call it?... Planetary based magic? So I just couldn't call it Sky Based Magic while the others were Moon based, Star based or Sun based... But well... I liked it, don't know about you guys though...
There is nothing I can do about it *shrug* Oh! And before someone says: "The hell? Tsuna is already powerful enough to make her own cards?! WTF?" Having the power doesn't mean she knows how to do it. She will need to understand her magic better and have more control of it before she can even think of creating her cards. So no, she won't create her cards. Maybe in a distant future. But not now.
Er... What I wanted to say?
Ah yes! There will be no SakuraxSyoran here. Sorry?! But I really don't like them. Don't know why. So if you want to give your thoughts with who Sakura should be paired in the future, be my guest. And when I say future, I mean 10YL. Any boy from KHR will be a little too older for her and she is too innocent, so she will have a crush for now. Although, if it is Fuuta, then there will be no problem, or even Lambo. I will make him (and I-Pin) a little older on this... And if you don't want her with anyone, tell me too.
Hum... Anyway! About the cards:
Tsuna's Cards (4): The Shadow, The Watery, The Wood, The Illusion
Sakura's Cards (3): The Wind, The Fly, The Rain
Review, follow, favorite or PM me! I love hearing from you guys. Really! I do :3
