Chapter 3

What was Foreseen

I finally got to watch Xanxus train! He wouldn't let me watch everytime I asked for it and just ignore me, and when I try to watch him he would always catch me and kick me out of his training field. But today… He agreed…. Why?

"Are you joking?" he looked at me while my jaw dropped.

He glared at me signaling to shut up or be noisy somewhere else. I zip my mouth and remained silent. There was something wrong with Xanxus today, he wasn't his violent real self. His eyes we're hiding something… It's like he found out something he shouldn't.

He brought out his gun and pointed at his target which was 30 feet away from him. I wondered what kind of bullet he was going to use, like I said; I've never seen him train before. I watched carefully and looked closely at his gun. His gun suddenly lit an orange light and my mind recalled the weird dream I had last night of the man with the gleaming red eyes.

I gasped in the thought of I realized something. "That man in my dreams….. It- It was X-Xanxus.." I shook in fear. I looked in his red eyes which I never even noticed before. It had the same expression as the man in my dream. I backed up clenching my fists while shaking. I ran away from where Xanxus was while he didn't notice. "Why did I run away from him?... Why am I so scared?" Something told me that there is going to be bloodshed.

Running back the mansions backyard I ran into Iemitsu smiling. "Ah Lumina! So this is where you we're! We we're looking for you!" He noticed my shocked expression and heavy panting, his smile turned to a frown. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

I shook my head "N-No! I just feel dizzy a little." To be honest, I was feeling nauseous but I also used that for my cover up.

"Sit down for a moment." He led me to one of the chair's in the lobby and faced keiji "Please bring her some water." Keiji nodded and scurried to the kitchen. He went back with a cup of water in his hand and handed it to me. I drank until the glass was empty, I didn't realize that I was this thirsty..

Iemitsu coughed to get my attention "Lumina… The Ninth and I need to talk to you."

I blinked and before I knew it, we we're at the Ninth's quarters. The Ninth was by his window staring off space. He turned around as the door made its way for us. "Ninth? Uncle Sawada said we needed to talk?"

He smiled at me and walked towards his table and gave me a small smile. Judging by the smile this was going to be in the middle of a bad and good news. I felt a little shaky from the event that happened to me recently. I braced myself for the conversation we we're about to have.

"Lumina.. We're sending you to the CEDEF." He said flatly.

This.. is….. kind of…. Sudden. "Umm….Pardon?" I mentally slapped myself. "Didn't you hear him? Your getting sent to CEDEF. So be an independent woman and suck it up." Ha! My conscience was talking to me!... Cool… "So I'm going to leave. But why?"

He gave me one of those 'I can't tell you' faces. "Someday you will understand young one. Now is not that day."

Weren't you the one who said that I'm mature despite of my age? I am getting confused of these facts now a days. "Ninth. I understand but.. Why the CEDEF?"

"Because we're going to train you!" A voice flew in the room and saw Lal on the window 's ledge. She jumped to the couch and landed through a score of a perfect 10. Was it just me or my life was getting more and more messed up? "We're going to make you physically and mentally strong enough to stand on your own."

Okay, so that means; I will receive training every day, muscle spasms will surely come and lastly… I will die early. I raised my right arm "I object. I don't want to die early. Excuse me then." I walked towards the door slowly till Lal jumped on my back and made me fall on my front. "Umm.. Miss Lal… Can you please get off me? I don't really want to be in a relationship with the floor.."

She grabbed my collar and dragged me out "Let's go, you're things are already transferred to the CEDEF."

"W-Wait.. I did not approve of this yet.." I struggled to get free but her grip was strong. She is one of the chosen for the Arcobaleno after all… But she was an incomplete one…

"The Ninth was the one that gave us this order, you do not have a choice." Ninth was the one who gave this idea? But why? Why would he send me away? HE told me that it wasn't the time to tell me the reason but…. I want to understand the situation on why would he do this?

Lal was right, all my things were already transferred to the CEDEF. All there was in my room was my fitting red coat; it was nice to see that it went well with the loose vintage shirt and the white skirt I was wearing. I slipped on the black boots I usually wore and got my sling bag.

Lal was waiting for me out in the hallway with her goggles on. "You're ready, then let's go."

"Wait. Can I say goodbye to the people here first?" I didn't get to say goodbye to the Ninth,Xanxus and keiji yet; as well as Ganauche.."

"No."

"What? Why?!" I asked her, I don't want to leave without any goodbye's.

"Because we don't have enough time." Enough time? What did she mean by that? She hurried through the mansion with me following behind her. As soon as we we're out of the mansions front door, we saw a limousine with driver holding the door. We went inside and sat in silence while we we're on our way. I realized that Iemetsu wasn't with us "Miss Lal… Where is Uncle Sawada?"

She didn't answer and stayed silent until we heard an explosion behind us. I opened the window and looked back to see the mansions roof puffing out smoke. "Miss Lal! The Mansion is-! We have to go back! Sir please stop the car!" The driver flinched and started to slow down.

"DO NOT STOP!" Lal demanded. And the driver just got scared and started to drive faster than usual.

"WHY? THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THAT MANSION! ALONG WITH NINTH!" I turned back to the driver and plead "Please stop the car! I beg of you!" The driver looked to the rearview mirror looking hassled. HE didn't know who to listen to and so just kept driving. "PLEASE!" He jumped and stopped the car immediately.

My hand reached for the car's door hinge but I felt someone pull me in and the palm of a hand that painfully slapped me across the face. "SNAP OUT OF IT LUMINA! THERE'S A REASON WHY THE NINTH TRANSFERRED YOU SO SUDDENLY! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST HAVE FAITH IN HIM?!"

I felt the mental pain along with the physical pain that has hit me across this face. "H-How can I faith when I'm not even aware of the situation.." I wanted to know what was going on, I wanted to know if the people in the mansion were okay. Was Xanxus okay? I felt alone somehow… But I had to believe in them. Believe that they'll be okay…. I didn't let a tear go out because I had to be strong.


-Narrators POV-

"VOOOI! STOP PLAYING WITH THE WEAKLING YOU BRAT!" Squalo yelled to the stupid fake prince who was playing with his dead victim.

"Shishishi~ Fine captain sharky~" he pulled out his knives and stabbed the men that had just pointed a gun at them.

The Varia's plan for the coup d'état has almost been ruined, they we're outnumbered but their strength was far more stronger than the men in the Vongola's mansion. "Che. That stupid Ottabio! I can't believe he told Boss Xanxus' plan to that worthless old man!" Levi gritted his teeth. Ottabio was the former strategy captain of the Varia, but he betrayed Xanxus and told his plans to the Ninth.

"Calm down Levi~ The boss already took care of that naughty man hohoho!" Lussuria was carrying a man in his twenties, and he was still breathing.

"VOOOII! LUSSURIA! STOP PICKING MEN UP AND GET YOUR ASS WORKING!"

Lussuria pouted and hugged the man who just awoken. "But captain! He's the sexiest one I found! It would be such a waste~!" Lussuria noticed the man wake up. "Ara! Hello my hoooneeey~!" Lussuria puckered his lips wanting for a kiss.

It looks like the man didn't get the message and thought he was going to get killed "P-Please don't kill me! I have a family!"

As Lussuria heard the news his smiled turned into a grossed out expression "Eww." He punched the man in the face and kicked the man's gut with his metal knee. "I don't date taken men."

Squalo slashed his sword to three men and looked around his surrounding "VOIII! WHERE IS THAT DAMN BOSS?!"

"Muu~ He's in the Ninth's hidden quarters." Mammon said as he made an illusion out of tissue paper making his opponent scream in terror.

"VOOII! YOU SCUMS BETTER TAKE OUT THE TRASH PROPERLY! I'M GOING TO THE BOSS! I want to fight that External Advisor!" He put on a grin in his face and made his way through the piles of dead bodies in the room.

He finally reached the Ninths hidden quarters. Getting here was tricky because each time he reached a level; there we're booby traps. He arrived and saw the Vongola's external advisor; he smirked and charged towards him. "VOOII! You scum!" They exchanged blows and started to fight.

After 2 hours Squalo was beaten up by Iemitsu, who knew he could have so much strength.. And he even had a dying will flame. He was sitting behind a post trying to get a grip "That damn Iemitsu… He left me to live! His softness will kill him.." He tried to bring his self up but the background noise was the Ninth and Xanxus fighting. By that time, Xanxus was filled with scars and ninth was holding his crane.

"Why? Why did you…" It was the Ninths voice.

"SHUT UP! You should know that most of all! I'm not… I'M NOT YOUR REAL CHILD!" As he heard Xanxus' Cold sharp voice say the truth, he flinched. He had no right to hear this but he couldn't get up and go unconscious. "WHY?! WHY DID YOU KEEP QUIET ABOUT THIS!? The fact that I couldn't become the boss of the Vongola?!"

"Xanxus… I-"

"AND WHAT ABOUT LUMIINA?!" Squalo recognized the name. It was that girls name.. The one that Xanxus was living in the mansion with. What does that Girl have to do with this? He questioned himself. "Why haven't you told her the truth?!" Xanxus' glare was vengeful.

"There will come a time Xanxus.. There is always the right time for these things."

"And what?! When that time comes old man.. Do you think she'll accept the truth that easily?!" Xanxus's words was harsh. Squalo never heard him like this; as if he cared about what that person would think or feel. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE!?" The Ninth looked teary eyed as he was looking at Xanxus. "DON'T YOU DARE PITTY ME YOU DAMN OLD TRASH!" He lit his Flames of wrath and pointed his hand towards the Ninth "DIE OLD MAN!"

The Ninth could not take this anymore. His flame blinked and the Xanxus' flame that headed towards the Ninth froze. "I'm sorry… But to tell you fairly.. I have always loved you as my son, and I loved Lumina as my very own daughter as well.." Ninth knew this would crush his heart, but he had no choice. He concentrated on his flames and froze Xanxus. He looked to his son, frozen with a petrified expression. "Zero point breakthrough.." he whispered to himself. He never thought he would use this power ever again, the fact that he used it on his son left him unable to move.

By the time Squalo was able to stand, he was too late. He saw the Ninth in agony as he looked at his son who was frozen in blocks of ice. "VOII! YOU TRASH! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" He pointed his sword to his direction.

He was about to charge until his arms we're grabbed by a strong grip. "VOII! LET GO OF ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" He turned his head and saw Coyote Nougat. "You-"

"That is enough. We already captured the other Varia members." Looking behind him was the Ninth's other guardians. The Varia we're looking pissed except for Lussuria who was enjoying being held by Ganauche. "Tch.." They had no choice but to surrender, their boss was already defeated and frozen by the Ninth's hands. They we're sent to prison and sentenced behind bars for 4 years. They didn't know what would happen to Xanxus but the Ninth told them he'll be fine.

Squalo was still baffled by what he found out, even if he knew about it; he was still not content of the result. Plus he wanted to know more about this Lumina girl, he still didn't know the truth about her. They were walking to each of their cell Squalo couldn't help but notice how short their sentence is "Oy, Nougat. 4 years isn't that long for mass murder sentence you know."

His hateful glare stung him. "Don't you think we know that? This was a decision made by the Ninth. Be thankful that he has a heart even for the likes of you." His rage was growing but he could control it.

"What a fearsome man, so this is Ninth's Storm Gaurdian Coyote Nougat huh. Tch, if he had a sword, I would beat him to a pulp as a swordsman should be." He was put in the cell with no windows, indestructible walls. His swrord hand was also taken from him. It was the same for the others except for Mammon, he was put in a small box to penetrate his illusions and kept in a cell.

Everyone could hear Lussuria's voice asking if Ganauche will take care of him. Ganauche just ignored him and just left. They all wondered how they were going to past 4 whole years of solitude.


(LUMINA'S POV)

I waited anxiously for anyone to answer the Mansion's phone. As the rings got longer and longer, I got more impatient. "Ninth, Xanxus, Keji, Ganauche… Everyone… Are you guys alright?" How I wish I could know.

I heard murmurs and gasps in the hallways. I ran to see what was going on and saw Iemitsu in scratches, it doesn't look like he had any serious wounds. "U-Uncle Sawada…"

He looked at me with pitifully "Lumina…"

I ran to him and ended up hugging the old man. "W-What happened?!" I asked straight out. "Are the other's okay? Please! I need to know!" It was weird… My thoughts of the Vongola being attacked was nostalgic, it's as if it already happened to me before. I know that my family was assassinated but… it feels so wrong. Something was wrong.

"Lumina.." He patted my head. "This is not like you. Don't worry, Ninth and the other's are fine. Now get a grip and let Oregano treat me okay?" he said smiling.

"Oh.. Right. Sorry.." I felt relieved but something still felt wrong. "Could you tell me what happened?" I calmed myself down.

His smile was now a straight line. He turned to Oregano and requested he was to be brought in his office with Lumina. He was helped by Oregano to walk with me behind them. When we reached his office and Oregano started treating him. "Xanxus.."

A chill went on the back of my spine. "What do you mean?"

He let out a breath "He was the one who started the attack, Along with the Varia."

"What?! Why?"

"I don't know but… The Ninth froze him."

"The Ninth did? How?"

"Zero point breakthrough. It was a technique created by the first Vongola Boss. It takes advantage of the user in hyper dying will mode to create ice to seal away dying will flames."

Why would Ninth freeze Xanxus? And why would Xanxus attack the Vongola? I tried thinking of reasons to answer my questions but I ended up remembering my dream. Xanxus' gleaming red eyes and the flame filled with wrath and vengeance. I flinched and my head started to hurt, my whole body was shaking. I wasn't scared of Xanxus.. I'm scared of what he's done and how it's going to affect the future. I always had that feeling where something went wrong, how it would affect something or someone in the near future.

"I'm sure ninth has his reason." It looked like Iemitsu had faith in the Ninth on his actions. I had no choice but to believe too, but I'm still worried on how this will affect Xanxus.

"Wait.. How about those Varia people?"

"They've been sentenced 4 years in Vindicare." I don't know who the Vindicare was but I know they kept the law breakers and dangerous people of the Mafia.

"But how did the Ninth know that would happen?"

He looked confused. "Know what?"

"Since he sent me away just because the Vongola was gonna be under attack, how did he find out?" I questioned Lal about that a little while back but she didn't answer, she just stood silent.

"Ottabio." he said bluntly.

"Ottabio?" I tilted my head and he nodded. "Who the heck is that?"

"Ottabio was the former strategy captain of the Varia. Since he was loyal to the Ninth, he told Xanxus' plan to the Ninth. Then the Ninth discussed this with Reborn, that's the main reason he was at the ball." So that explains why Ninth was so serious that time.

"So where is Ottabio now?" I asked him with a straight Line on my face. I want to ask that man some questions... well... ALOT of questions.

His face suddenly hardened and got stiff "Xanxus killed him right after he found out." ...Xanxus KILLED? Are you freaking kidding me? I am now officialy against him.

"I see.." That's it. I'm going to lose my sanity because of this incident. I now claim myself to be mentally disabled. "God damn it."

Iemitsu looked shocked "Lumina! You shouldn't be saying those words!"

I know actually, I just couldn't help it. I need to let my feels out and express it through words and actions "So should I start calling you master like Basil does?"

He facepalmed "N-No. You can just call me Boss." Aww. I'm going to miss calling him with 'uncle'

"All right then boss. What is my first task here?"

His face turned into an evil smirk "Time to train that little weak body of yours."

I shivered "W-Wait! I haven't agreed to training and fighting yet! I meant just trivial chores!"

Lal suddenly came bursting through the doors "BRAT!" She kicked me on the back making me kiss the floor. "Even if you're the precious principessa of the Vongola, it doesn't mean that I'll go easy on you!"

"Ouch. Miss Lal, I might have a back injury because of you." I said with a poker face on.

"That's because you have a weak body." She smiled wickedly and cracked her knuckles "I am going to destroy that little weak body and replace it with a strong one."

"M-Miss Lal, your face is very scary. That expression is not very ladylike, your future husband will not be happy."

She blushed and slapped me multiple times "I don't want to hear that from a stupid little girl like you who doesn't even know the slightest idea on how to be a lady!"

"Again.. Ouch. I'm sorry bout' that Miss Lal. Just don't slap me aga- WAIT!" I haven't noticed but she was already dragging me outside, I heard gunshots and swords clashing. Don't tell me they have a training field.. "I SAID I HAVEN'T AGRRED ON THIS YEEEET! JUST LET ME DO TRIVIAL CHORES DAMN IT!" She suddenly giggles in a wicked way her face and laugh says it all 'NO MERCY'… Oh snap…. I will die today.

As she dragged me off to the training room I saw people battling and hitting training dummies. There's also a combat field. I saw Basil in hitting multiple training dummies with what looks like a triangular ruler. He tossed it to a dummy and it went in various directions and hit the remaining ones. So it can be used as a boomerang.

Basil was really trained, and he's just my age? Pinch me I must be insane. "Basil started training when he was just 3 years old." I jumped and saw Turmeric beside me.

"Please appear normally!" He chuckled and continued to watch Basil train.

"He improves everyday and has unbelievable strength and is very devoted. He is most likely to become a higher up when he grows up." He said while smirking to Basil's direction. Wow.. I'd like some of that devotion too.

"LUMINA!" Lal kicked me in the face again and sent me falling on the floor. "Time to train!"

"ugh… I want to sleep.." I started dozing off.

she stomped on me "DON'T DOZE OFF!" she picked me up and threw me onto the combat field.

It smells like gun powder and sweat. "What am I supposed to do here?!"

She smirked evilly while crossing her arms "Survive."

I heard a soft roar, it was growing louder and louder till I felt heat below my feet. I looked down and the floor had holes in it and was giving off heat waves. "Oh shit." I ran for my life. "MISS LAL! THIS IS NOT TRAINING! THIS IS A DEATH SENTENCE!"

"Stop limping and start running! We're building up your stamina." I just realized that I was on a track field. The fire was catching up to me by inches. I ran faster but tripped "This is it.. I am going to die today. It's so sad, I haven't lived enough yet."

I closed my eyes preparing for my death. After 3 seconds, I wondered why I haven't died yet. I slowly opened one eye and saw that Basil was carrying me, bridal style. "BASIL!"

"Hello Lumina. I am happy to see thee! But I did not know that thee would come here."

"BASIL!" Lal shouted and went to us. "You shouldn't have done that! Should've just let her burn and learn a lesson."

"Lal-dono, Tis wrong to treat a person that way.." He said pouting. He let me down gently and looked to see Iemitsu "Master! What has happened to thee?!"

"I'll tell you everything later. I just need to tell you that Lumina will be staying here from now on. She'll also be training here like you." That was straight. So Basil didn't know I was coming, well.. It was sudden.

Basil looked pleased "I would be grateful to train with thee! I could learn so much from thee! Thou has no idea how excited I am!" No! Basil, don't get your hopes up.. This weak body.. You will really break it even just one hit.

"B-Basil.. Do not get so excited.." I mentally slapped myself. This is not going to be a good life. Will my life in CEDEF be a good one? I really hope so….


So as you all know CEDEF arc starts noooow~

My version of the coup d'état/crib incident was crappy since i forgot what Xanxus said to the ninth. Mistakes could be made! Sorry.

Reviews will be appreciated~

Have a nice day :3
