Chapter 3: the Musical Mist Part 2: the Earrings of Courage.

Sawada Residence

"Oi, Reborn, why did you call us here?" Skull yelled before whimpering in shock as Reborn swing his 10-ton Green Leon Mallet at the cloud arcobaleno.

"I hope you don't have a job for me. I don't work for free." Mammon muttered from under his/her cowl.

"Kora, this better be important!" Colonello asked.

Fon appeared on the window, Richie sitting on his head as he nodded calmly to Reborn.

"It's rare to see you here, Verde." Lal Mirch commented.

"Well, for Reborn to call an emergency meeting, I thought it might be interesting for my research…" he replied, his new Navigator taking note of what was happening in the meeting, the wires sticking weirdly from his head.

"Let's settle down, shall we?" Uni smiled, letting Reborn sitting on her lap. "It must be important if uncle Reborn had to gather all of us in a short time, right?"

"Have all of you heard about he Jewels of Fate?" Reborn cut in through conversations the group were having.

"Those Jewels of Fate, kora?" Colonello asked, confused, "Isn't that stuffs of legend?"

"Oh, you mean that story, Colonello?" Lal played with her goggles, "The one you used to tell us at one of our campfire night?"

"How about you tell us about it, Uncle Colonello?" Uni smiled winsomely at the blond infant.

"Well," Colonello comfortably settled down on the bed, "Basically its a story about a mythical set of jewels that rumored can change a person's fate and grant their deepest and dearest desires. Rumors has it that the Jewel's last known appearance was 200 years ago, during the French Revolution, kora."

"What's with all this nattering about myths, Reborn? You know better that to waste our time." Verde asked, grumpy now that he heard the story. "There no such thing as Jewels of Fate."

"What if…" everyone turned to Reborn, who tipped his fedora down, only showing his smile, "What if I said the Jewels had reappeared?" he felt rather than watched everyone's agitated reaction. "What if I told you that my useless ex-student is the current holder of the Sky Ring of Justice?"

"T-That's a joke, right? You're lying." Lal watched as the smirk on Reborn's face deepen, "Reborn!"

"It's the truth. He's here, in Namimori, currently tracking down the Mist Earring."

"Y-You think they'll break the curse for us?" Skull asked hopefully. The other arcobaleno looked at each other, wondering if it was the cure they're all were looking for.

Uni meanwhile looked down, clenching her fists. If it wasn't for uncle Reborn, she wouldn't be here right now. It was nice of him to give up his rightful spot and asked the Checker Hat man to cure Uni instead. But if things were different…

"Hime," the green-haired girl look up in surprise and stared at her loyal right hand-man, "It's ok. It wasn't your fault. It was never your fault alright?" the girl tentatively smiled at Gamma.

"More importantly," the blond Italian stood up, now glaring at the person sitting near the window, "why is he here?" he points frantically at the white haired Mafia Don who was just opening a packet of marshmallows.

"What? I haven't eaten since breakfast!"

"But, Byakuran-san," Uni said, everyone sweat-dropped at the childish display, "marshmallows aren't good for your teeth."

Gamma, raring to hurt that stupid time traveler, grab hold of his marshmallows and chuck it out of the room, ignoring the horrified yelp from outside the room.

"M-My marshmallows!" Byakuran wailed, trying to jump out of the window, "you killed my marshmallows!"

"Anyway," Reborn glared at Byakuran for the interruption, "Viper, Verde and Lal, can I expect you guys to do research on this?"

"W-well…" Mammon said reluctantly, "I supposed I can do it free for once."

"I'll do it, for the sake of my research." Verde shrugged.

"I'll see what I can rustle up in CEDEF," Lal offered.

"Good, then the rest can be support team for Dino then." Reborn leaps to the window before turning to Gamma, "By the way, Gamma, you might want to start running."

"Huh, whatever for?"

"-JUUDAIME! WHO THREW THOSE MARSHMALLOWS ON YOUR HEAD? I'LL BLOW THEM UP FOR YOU!"

"-IEEEEEE! YOU DON'T HAVE TO GOKUDERA-KUN!"

"Oh. That's where my marshmallow landed."


Tsuna grumbled as he plucks out yet another marshmallow impaled on his brown spikes. "Do you have any idea how long that's going to take to clean out?" Kyoko and Yamamoto laughed as they helped Tsuna pulling the gooey sweets from his hair while Gokudera threaten the sheepish looking Gamma.

All of them looked up when Dino, followed by Romario, entered the room with Haru, who was was waving a piece of paper.

"Pay dirt desu. Haru got the information desu!" the cosplayer grinned.

She gave a photo to Dino, who looked on with everyone else looking behind him curiously; a girl with waist length hair so black, it as almost blue and bright steel-gray eyes stares back sullenly. "Haru had to use Haru's contact all over the school to get this desu."

"Shiraishi Yume-senpai. Age 15. Final year of Midori Middle. Plays the violin. As far as Haru can tell, Shiraishi-senpai doesn't have any friend, desu. She always go home alone using the road behind the alley everyday desu."

"Hahi! According to Haru's source, before moving to Midori High, Shiraishi-senpai got suspended for a month last year after landing five male students from a rival school in a hospital desu!"

-so..so violent! Everyone sweat-dropped.

"So, how do we do this, Reborn?" Dino asked.

"We do plan A."

"Plan A?"


Shraishi Yume walked down the street, mentally composing another song when she felt something bad going to happen to her. Quickly stepping aside, she pull down her headphones in shock as a handsome Italian blond drop out of nowhere on the exact spot she was standing moments ago.

"Wha?-"

"Reborn! Why did you do that?" Dino (For it was him! How did you think; Belphegor?) yelped, rubbing his head as the violinist stared down at the Mafia Don in shock.

"Dino-san!" Tsuna whispered frantically. "In front of you!"

"Um?" he turned, and saw the grey-eyed girl (is it just me or she looked exactly like a female version of Hibari? Dino mused) "Oh, right. The plan." Dino coughed and stood up, smiling dramatically.

"Will you join me for the journey of a lifetime?" Dino asked, his hands gesticulated dramatically at Yume.

Behind the bushes, corners and light poles, everyone slapped their heads in disbelief. Really Dino? Really?

"Hahh?"The girl stared at the blond in front of her blankly as he rambles on and on. Dear god, it's like a scene from OHSHC. Are they taping here? Yume looked around wildly, before deciding the man in front of her is crazy and the best solution would be walking away.

"-And we get to save the world!" Dino turned around enthusiastically just to find the violinist walking away.

"Not interested." The girl walked pass Dino, leaving the Mafia don gaping like an idiot at the middle of the street.

"B-But…" Dino yelled in shock as a 10-ton Leon Mallet slammed onto his head.

"Idiot student. Time to use Plan B."

Suddenly, Tsuna felt something dreadful is going to happen to him. Call it his hyper intuition.

"Yup, Plan B." he pointed at Tsuna ,"Operation: Crossdresser!"


Midori Middle For Girl

Tsuna cursed inwardly at his, I meant, her sadistic tutor. He, I meant she tugged her skirt down, Chrome standing beside her, smiling shyly. Both Tsuna and Chrome were standing in front of Midori Middle School, wearing their uniform.

Their mission? Lure Shiraishi Yume out and to the field behind the school so Dino can persuade her to join their cause.

Did Tsuna mention he has to dress up as a girl?

Damn that short stack tutor.

After a few of near-escapes, Tsuna and Chrome finally found the girl. Yume was playing her violin alone in the music room, the sad, poignant tune echoed in the vast room. Right, plan B-1, commerce!

"A-Ano, Senpai?" Yume looked up to see a purple haired girl standing outside the room. "C-Could you help me please?"

Yume turned back at her violin, "Go ask someone else."

So..so cold.

Time for plan B-2 then.

Yume cursed in surprised when a long-haired brunette ran into the room and snatch up her music sheets she was working on and ran out with it.

What in the …

Grumbling and muttering threats loud enough for the crossdressing Tsuna to hear, Yume quickly give pursue.


Praying, Tsuna took a wrong turn, that instead taking her.. I meant him outside, instead took him straight to the rooftop.

Oh dear.


Midori Middle Rooftop

"Now give me those papers back before I chuck you off this roof!" she snarled angrily, waving her violin case furiously at the crossdresser. Tsuna inwardly pray to all the gods he could think of (God, Buddha, Zeus; he wasn't too picky right now) to save him before the axe-crazy girl in front of him do good to her threat.

Both of them froze when another player thought to make his, ah, lack for the word for it, presence made. A steel tonfa slam onto the concrete wall where Yume was standing.

Yume turned, now forgetting her initial plan to toss Tsuna off the rooftop and found herself nose-to-nose a certain tonfa-wielding deliquent/prefect.

"Trying to kill a Namimori student, I will bite you to death."

Yume quickly swung her violin case at the violent prefect, managed to get in a blow before Hibari slams his tonfa against the violin case, forcing the girl to defend herself. Snarling, he hooks one of tonfa, and heaves the case away, which went over the railing, and landed neatly near the ledge.

Cursing, Yume dived for her violin case, wondering what wrongdoing did she do in her past life to deserve this. Digging through her pockets, she tossed a handful of coins onto Hibari, momentarily blinding the boy as she swung herself over the fence. Hibari, now pissed off, managed to grab hold a handful of hair and pull her back, slamming the girl against the railing, cursing inwardly when she felt the cold metal resting on her neck.

"I. WILL. BITE. YOU. TO. DEATH." Hibari snarled.

The door slammed open to reveal a disheveled looking Dino, quickly followed by Gokudera and Yamamoto. The two Vongola guardians merely gave a cursory glance at the two opponents before running to Tsuna. Dino meanwhile, stood frozen.


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 ledge and even before Dino could even moved, the girl jumped.


That dream.

"Kyouya, don't!" Hibari slightly turned to snarl angrily at the Bucking Horse, giving Yume enough room to move her legs and slam them against the railing, kicking the air out of the prefect. Without even give her time to check whether the kick hit the violent prefect or not, the violinist scrambled over the railing to reach for her violin case.

Hibari, pissed, jumped over the fence and makes a wild grab for the girl, causing for her to lose her balance and fell…

"No!" Dino jumped over the railing, and desperately grab for the girl. Cursing, he leaps after her and crushed her to his chest, twisting himself so they will land on his back, protecting the girl.

"H-Hold on!"

W-why?

They crashed through the trees-

Why are you saving me?

- And plunged into the pool, both fainted on impact.


In the hospital.

Shiraishi Yume was confused. Standing outside the door, she watched as everyone fussed over the bed-ridden Mafia Don. She managed to escaped with a few scrapes and bruises while the blond suffered a cracked rib, huge bruises and a minor concussion. Dino, finally noticed the violinist standing outside his room, waved her in.

"Hai, Yume-chan! I'm glad to see you alright!"

she twitched.

"Y-You could have killed yourself!" Yume screamed at the injured Mafia Don. "I… you don't even know me! Why did you save me?"

"Because," the violinist was surprised to see Dino's grin, "I need you. Isn't that enough reason to save you?"

I need you. When did the last time she ever heard anyone said that to her? Yume couldn't help but stared at the enigma in front of her. "Then, Miss Yume, will you join the quest to save the world?" Dino hold out his hand to the Mist in front of him.

Looking at the hopeful, cheery smile, Yume couldn't help but wonder what will happen if she takes that hand in front of her.

Don't look back, always walk forward.

O-kaa-sama, can I walk forward now? Can I leave my past? Can I be happy once more?

Yume slowly, yet surely touch Dino's hand. "Shiraishi. Don't use my first name so familiarly, crazy old fart." She smiled, lighting up her once sullen face. With a sudden flash, her earrings changed from a pair of simple ear studs into a pair of wing-shaped amethyst earrings. Both of them winced loudly as the sound of exultation echoed in their mind.

"Thus the Sky Lord and the Musical Mist convene once more!"

Both of them fainted.
