A/N- hey guys just to cover some stuff yeah in chapter one my grammar was off I was tired and off the late night and forgot to preread and was a little to eager to post so sorry and also the Naruto along with other characters will come in later dont worry and I hope you like the story. Btw I own nothing but the plot
The moon shone bright on Tanya Fierro as she strolled down the street. A lot has changed since yesterday, Her father's news about the mafia, and her being the Tenth's successor still wouldn't settle in properly. Me? A mafia boss? This felt like something she would read out of a manga or see in an anime. It didn't help for her to find out that her dad was going to leave to Italy again soon leaving her in the care of a capable and so handsome Reborn. Her phone rang breaking her strong moment of concentration, It was her cousin Jimmy.
"Hey cuzzo, my mom said were out of pancake mix, and asked if you can run to the store and get some."
"YEAH!" she said as her eyes lit up "IM RIGHT ON IT!" she hung up and ran. No pancakes makes a unhappy Tanya... and we can't have that can we.
Upon arriving at the Grocery Store, Tanya sniffed out the pancake mix and headed straight for it and then noticed... That it was to high to reach. After several attemps at jumping, or trying to knock it down she sighed frustatingly.
"Whyyyyyyyy... why is it all the way up there." she whimpered as she looked down.
"Here." someone said as she looked up to see someone holding a box of pancake mix in her face. "Thank you so much! I dont know what I... or how you got that?" she asked the small girl who was shorter than she was.
"Um..." the girl blushed as she looked away.
"I feel like I know you..." Tanya Impied. The girl had a blue hoodie on that had a headphones wearing skull on the chest and some simple black pants and white and blue shoes. Her hair however was long and reached the small of her back all jet black, the same color as her eyes.
"I... I'm" the girl mumbled, until a more familiar voice said
"She is my little sister Amanda..." Tanya turned to face the one speaking. It was a boy standing tall wearing a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans. His hair and eyes are the same color as his sister's jet black.
"Armand-Sempai! This is your little sister... well I was just thanking her for helping me with the pancake mix... hahahahaha." Tanya laughed off nervously remembering the day he walked her home.
"I see..." Armand said as he patted his little sister's head. "She can be very shy at times but she is very reliable."
"Well thank you Amanda!' Tanya said smiling.
"Y-your Wel-welcome... Tanya." Amanda got out shyly.
The three proceeded to checkout, and began to wait inline. A conversation began between Armand and Tanya as they discussed trivial things school work and everything inbetween.
"Bye Armand-sempai, Bye Amanda-chan." Tanya waved. As she was met with the same gesture. She continued her journey home when something stopped her.
"Hey girl, why dont you come over here." some random pervert asked suggesively.
"Bet you would like that huh? How bout no." she said coldly.
"Ohhh boys we got a fiesty o-" he was suddenly cut off by what seemed to be a boot... no someones foot... someone kicked the hell out of this guy... but who?
"The girl said no are you hard headed." said another girl the same age as Tanya but could be describeld as her polar opposite. She wore a black leather jacket, and a pink tank top under it. She also wore military style cargo pants along with a pair of combat boots, and her hair was braided and pinned back with her eyes filled with anger.
"Um thank you and all... but who are you?"
"Zoe."
"No last name."
"NO, just Zoe anyway kid dont walk around these places after dark why are you out so late anyway."
"i was getting pancake mix!" Tanya told her with the biggest smile on her face.
"You almost got raped for pancakes... yeah ok whatever just get home kid..."
"Fine no pancakes for you!"
"Tch... whatever" and with that her saviour had left.
Dinner at the Fierro house was over quickly as almost every pancake had been devoured by Tanya who doesn't like pancakes at dinner? While her father and Reborn took their exact same places as yesterday to discuss more with Tanya before her father leaves to Italy.
"Tanya..." Mauricio says while putting out a little and handing it to her. "this is an invitation to the funeral of Vongola Decimo."
"They do invitaions for funeral's" Tanya asked.
"just listen" Reborn answered. "The letter in short says that the candidate Vongola Unidesimo, and her guardians have been summoned to lay Vongola Decimo to rest." Reborn explained further.
"My... Guardians?" She asked.
"Yes" Her father began " Each generation of Vongola Bosses have their own set of guardians. Each to represent the flames of the sky. The Storm the fiercely blows away everything. The Rain that washes everything away. Sun that illuminates the sky. The Lightning that harshly strikes everything away. The Cloud, one that cannot be caught and goes it s own way. Mist The illusive one that cannot be captured. And finally you, the sky that colors and engulfs them all."
"Well" she said. "I cant go, cause I dont have guardians." Tanya got out as Reborn smiled.
"They been around you for a long time, and dont worry each person here has agreed to do this of their own free will" Reborn said.
"What." Tanya asked as Mauricio told her.
:Your guardians are already assembled, here." The first one to step from the door was Tanya's longtime friend Carolina Cambria wearing her school uniform, with her blonde hair pulled back and her blue eyes ready.
"Lina!" Tanya yelled surprised.
"Tany, I dont really get it but these people told me that you needed help and I always said I would be there for you no matter what so im not leaving."
"This is you Guardian of the Rain Ring." Reborn said.
"Wait slow down this is..." Tanya said as Reborn shot her down with.
"Too late. Here he comes." and sure enough another came forward this time it was her cousin Jimmy Fierro. His Brown hair fell barely long enough to grab and matched his brown eyes he was still dressed in his school uniform he has a bad habit of leaving that on
"Jimmy?" Tanya asked.
"you really think I can let you do this alone you'd probably screw up and make more trouble."
"This is your Guardian of the Sun Ring." Reborn said as a smile creeped upon Tanya's face and quickly disappeared, as the next person came out.
"The transfer student!" Tanya exclaimed. As Reborn soon corrected her.
"DeMarco Sharpe, he trained under the tenth generation storm guardian before coming here, and he was sent he to be your Guardian of the Storm Ring." his green hair was a mess and covered most his face only showing one of his blue eyes, then flipped his hair while saying,
"You could at least try to be greatful I came boss." Tanya shrugged it off , who is the mist cloud and lightning guardians. The next guy coming out turned out to be Armand Nero having his little sister under his arm.
"Armand-Sempai, Amanda-chan!" Tanya exclaimed.
"We... sh-should have told you earlier I-Im sorry..." Amanda said as she began to tear up.
"No.. no its okay I was just surprised, thats all." she said waving her hands at the girl as her older brother patted her head.
"she is just really happy to see us Amanda." he told her causing her to smile.
"these our your Guardians of the Lightning, Armand and Mist, Amanda." Reborn said. Who is the cloud the though kept bouncing in Tanya's mind until finally she came out.
"You're the girl from earlier!" Tanya yelled while pointing a finger at her. " IF you came for the pancakes they're all done so what do you what?"
"Isn't obvious you idiot, I am only here on request from old man Mauricio. I owe him and that is why I am here as your Guardian of the Cloud Ring though I never thought you were Vongola Unidesimo."
"Well that wraps that up." Mauricio finished. "Now then arrangements for tomorrow."
"Sir... you said that we are Guardians of Rings correct?" Armand asked.
"Yes Armand that is right."
"Well where are these Rings?" he asked.
"Good question, Armand-sempai." Jimmy said patting him on the back.
"They are with the Tenth generation and will be passed down to you all at the funeral, and where was I …. oh yes arrangements everyone meet back here so we could head to the airport. No need to bring anything the Vongola Family will provide everything any additional questions?"
"How long will we be there" Carolina asked the old man.
"Two days, the actual funeral and the reception where you will be handed the rings."
"Oh I see. Thank you" she said. And with that they all went to their respective home to prepare for their voyage.
The trip was unbelievably fast, they arrived in Italy after a few short hours on a Vongola private jet. After landing the Reborn lead the Family to a changing room where they can change into their funeral attire. Knowing they shouldn't horse play of goof around in this setting they got everything done fast and efficiently to make it to the service. If only only one word floated around the mind of our heroine it would be big. Their were so many people at this funeral which would explain why it was held outside. Five men and one woman stood next to Decimo's coffin the entire time which was black with the roman numeral "X" engraved. Everyone was dressed in all black which is typical for a funeral. A man with silver long hair that fell to his shoulders came up to give a eulogy about the late Vongola Boss. Many teared up at the words of this man which was hard for Tanya and her guardians. She knew nothing of him nor did the people that accompany her. She felt bad and out of place overall. After the service ended Tanya told Reborn, her friends, and her guardians that she needed a walk. She came up to the coffin bowed and payed her respects, and when she got up she noticed someone standing right next to her. He wore a black uniform with yellow stripes running down the side and a crest on his chest that read Varia. His hands were clasped together and his eyes were closed as if in prayer. Blonde spikey hair moved gracefully in the wind, and unusually what caught her attention last was the whisker like scars on the side of his. Tanya blushed. He is cute...
"Paying your respects." the boy asked. Tanya put her serious attitude on.
"Yeah though I wish I actually knew him." she said. The boy then looked at her closely his face inches from hers. Tanya blushed.
"Wait you the one!" he said cheerfully.
"Th-The one..." she said as her face became a deeper shade of red.
"Yeah the next boss, oh crap so rude I haven't introduced myself, I'm Naruto Uzumaki,"
"Oh.. hi... im T-T-Tanya Fierro." she finally pulled togther.
"So the rumors are true about you." he said
"What rumors." Tanya asked nervously.
"The new boss being a girl."
"Is that a problem?" Tanya asked.
"Nope, personally I think its refreshing. The last female boss was the eigth but I wasnt around back then of course." Naruto checks his watch,
"Crap i'll late Xanxus-Sensei would kill me! I gotta go but I hope we cold stay in touch!"
"Um... ok bye." Tanya is disappointed. Um ok bye thats all you say your in Italy your probably never gonna see this guy again ugh...!
The rest of the Guardians awaited the reception to gain the Vongola rings in the guest quarters while Reborn and Mauricio went to speak with Hayato Gokudear, Decimo's guardian of the storm ring. In the room to attend the meeting was the right hand of Decimo, Hayato Gokudera, former Varia boss Xanxus, the outside adviser to Decimo, Mauricio Fierro and Reborn. Gokudera started.
"Reborn, are the eleventh generation all together."
"Yeah have Shoichi Irie and Spanner finished working on the projects they took on for the eleventh generation."
"Yeah they are all set." Gokudera replied.
"What project?" Mauricio asked.
"To create prototype Vongola gear similar to what the tenth generation had but different. They are designed tailored to everything we know about them." Gokudera answered.
"Now to the bigger problems." Reborn started. "There are rumors that a new set of rings have been created and distributed to a family who call themselves the Akatsuki Family, and are totally comprised with A and S rank criminals. They began to move around in Japan."
"Thats a problem there is too much to do and not enough people to cover it." Mauricio said.
"Well the initial plan was to leave me here and take control until the next boss is ready." Gokudera started. "But at the same time if the Akatsuki Family are moving in Japan we can't ignore their safety, after all they are the future of the Vongola."
"But this is still a good way for them to mature and gain some experience." Reborn put in.
"What are you implying Reborn?" Mauricio asked the question that lingered in the room.
"that the previous guardians train the new ones so that they can beat the Akatsuki Family."
"Thats great Reborn but theirs no one left to train Unidesimo now is there." Gokudera pointed out.
"yeah there is... Xanxus" Reborn said, and just like that the man who gave to flying pieces of burning crap about this meeting finally spoke up.
"Fine Kid, ill do it, but in my way none of that soft shit you grew sawada from."
"Fine just make sure she is ready to defeat the Akatsuki Family." Reborn said with a smile
"Well that was unexpected... anyway it is settled myself along with the rest of the guardians and the Varia will go to Japan to help the new generation train." Gokudera said "Mauricio watch over Vongola HQ while everyone is gone."
And with that settled Gokudera, Reborn, and Mauricio presented the Rings to their guardians and introduced them to their older counter parts. Its a miracle Reborn thought I never expected Xanxus to comply so easily as well as Hibari show up and cooperate. Lastly before they ended the night and their stay in Italym the Varia that would work with the Vongola intorduce themselves.
The announcer began."In a wave of sudden power all is defeated before the VARIA!"
"Guardian of the Sun Ring and an explosion of youth! ROCK LEE!"
"Yes I feel the power of youth" Rock Lee said as he posed to the right of the center.
"Guardian of the storm ring the strong and scary GAARA! "
"i really hate this part. "Gaara said as he moved into pose opposite of Rock Lee.
"Guardian of the Lightning ring and the shocking brains of the opertaion, Shikamaru!"
"This so troublesome" he sighed as he took a knee in the middle. By this time Reborn is laughing while trying not to meet Xanxus's enraged glare.
"Guardian of the Rain Ring the cool calm collected, Kakashi Hatake!"
"Im not posing... sorry Naruto."
"Guardian of the Cloud Ring the palm stirking fierce warrior Neji!"
"Oh hell no!" he said as he walked off stage.
"And last but not least the one who holds the greatest Varia ring the SKY me Naruto Uzumaki!"
almost simultaneously Tanya and Xanxus's mouth drop to the floor as a single gunshot was fired.
"CUT THE SHIT!" Xanxus screamed infuriated. As the gunshot hit Naruto straight in the head, but then got up like nothing ever even happened.
"Do that again and it would be a million times worse you idiot!"
"hehehe... sorry Sensei." Naruto said,.running away before his sensei could catch him. And the end of the day a redheaded man in glasses came up to Reborn and handed him a box. And began to speak." Hello everyone, My name is Irie Shoichi and I have here some Vongola gear rings for you guys to try, they are weapons that go along with your Vongola rings so they shouldn't be that hard to handle but if there are any problems please let me know. To the Guardian of the Sun Ring the Bullet Ring will be you gear ring."
"Okay thanks man." Jimmy said as he received his ring,"
"To the Rain Guardian you will receive the Long Blade Ring."
"Thanks Shoichi-san" Carolina said.
"To the Lightning Guardian, the Gauntlet Ring."
"Thank you Irie-san" Armand replied thankfully.
"To the storm guardian the Crossbow Ring."
"Thanks." DeMarco received his rings and sat down quickly.
"To the Mist Guardian the Thousand Kunai Ring."
"Th-Thank you sir..." Amanda said thankfully.
"to the Cloud Guardian the Spear Ring."
"Thanks old man." Zoe said admiring her new ring.
"And finally to the holder of the sky Ring espically made for you Unidesimo, Vongola twin bracelets."
"They pretty... Shoichi right, thanks."
"No problem I hope that they aid you all in battle."
After giving thanks to the Vongola's tech team once again, the new generation went to bed to prepare for they're return home and their eventual training.
One last night of peace the calm before the storm... whats wrong with the Varia... who are the Akatsuki Family what do they want... Mauricio left on base while Xanxus trains Tanya... see how all will fare on the next chapter of Vongola The 11th
