"The…mafia? I heard Reborn mention that the book was mafia property. Mukuro mentioned that I would be very dangerous if I was in the mafia." I said not knowing what to expect. "Very interesting. Arianna, do you know what your parent's do when they work?" "They never told me but I fear it's something dangerous." His head sunk down.

"Your parents are assassins, Arianna." I gulped as the terrifying information struck me. There were no words to be said. "I'm sorry." He apologized. "It's nothing to apologize about." My eyes were full of worry and sadness. "Can you tell me what they do exactly?" He looked to me surprised. "Your parents work under my son Xanxus. He is the boss of the assassins unit called the Varia. About the time your disease came upon you, they begged me to let them back into the family. I was at first skeptical but now I see their reasoning." "How does Xanxus treat them? Does he treat them horridly?" I asked him.

"He's rather friendly with your father. He doesn't bother your mother. You can say that they are friends of my sons." I slightly smiled. As long as they weren't hurt, I was content. "Do you miss your parents?" "I miss them every day. But I know that it's for me. Sometimes, I blame myself for having them work continuously." He put his hand over my shaking hand. "It's no one's fault." I looked up into his eyes and almost gasped. "What's the matter?"

"Your son, Xanxus, he isn't a good man. He treats everyone horribly calling them scum and trash. He better not touch my parents." My voice turned bitter. The two were shocked at the sudden change of behavior. "You don't have to worry." "I have to worry. Something bad is going to happen to them and you in the near future. It's all going to be Xanxus's doing too. And once he knows of my existence, he'll kill me along with everyone." He took a hold of my shoulders. "Get a hold of yourself, Arianna."

My book was glowing a bright light. "If anything happens, I'll protect you master." I immediately calmed down and looked at the book in the air. I smiled at the book and turned my attention to the boss. "I-I'm sorry about that." "It's alright my dear. I must say that the tomb is quite attached to you." He said changing the subject. "My master is very kind and gentle. She is the only one that's worthy of me and my powers." The book said proudly. "You must be very proud of your master then."

"Of course I am!" She said again. "Considering that you and the tomb are very close. I'll have to ask you a very important question." "What is it?" "He wants you to be a part of the Vongola master!" The book said cutting him off. "That's not nice to interrupt someone. He was building suspense and you killed it." "I'm sorry master." He laughed.

"She's correct Arianna." "I'm in a wheelchair though. I'm weak and will become a burden to everyone." "No you won't." He said firmly. "You have me master! I'll become your legs and let you walk." She said. "But I'd rather have them heal so I don't use too much of your power." "But promise that you'll allow me to be your legs if something bad is about to happen." "Fine, if I'm in trouble you have my permission." The book flew around me happily.

"Don't worry about your legs Arianna. I have a feeling that they'll heal sooner than anyone expects." I smiled towards him. "Do you have an answer to my question?" He asked me. "You'll have Reborn by your side along with most of the arcobalenos." I closed my eyes and smiled. "I'll accept." I said proudly.

He smiled full of joy and raised his hand towards me. His finger had an orange flame. "This is my dying will flame of sky. This makes you officially apart of the Vongola." "It's warm." He smiled again. There was warmth on my forehead as his hand backed away. "Just as I thought." He said. "Arianna Abandonato; from here on out you are a part of the Vongola family." After the warmth faded I felt heavier.

"What was that warmth after your hand left?" I asked him bewildered. "It's your flame. You possess the moon flame. It glows even in the darkest of nights. No wonder why the tomb is so close to you." "What flame did my parents have?" I asked. "Your father had the storm flame like Gokudera Hayato and your mother has the cloud flame like Hibari Kyoya." I nodded trying to imagine what they looked like.

My book was dancing in the air. "Master, that means that we can stay together!" She yelled. "It does?" "Yes, Arianna, it does. But I must warn you about something concerning the tomb." His voice was solemn. "There was a reason for having the tomb behind that glass. It was to keep it away from Xanxus. All he wants is power and to have ultimate power was to obtain the cured tomb of the moon. He'd try to open the tomb but he couldn't. No matter what force he tried, the tomb always rejected him."

"I know why my parents took the book." I said as he nodded. "It's just as you thought. Now that the tomb has awakened, he's going to be searching for you. I fear that he might end up killing you. He's a man that will stop at nothing to get what he wants." I looked at him than smiled. "Then we just have to stop him, right?" I asked pointing my attention to the book. "Of course master! I'll protect you at any cost." He was rather surprised but smiled at me.

"My, you two are alike. Even though he's dangerous, you take him as if he was nothing." He said. "He's not that bad. Master has a talent that can make any enemy fall to their knees." The book said a little too happily. "What might this talent be?" He asked. "Just by the look of someone's eyes, she can tell their story as if she was there experiencing them. She did this to Mukuro and made him vulnerable." The book said. He turned to me and asked another question. "That isn't all, isn't it?" I nodded. "Unlike many others, I don't succumb to fear that many do. That's what makes me so dangerous. I'm a person that doesn't succumb to fear and can read a person as if he or she was an open book. But some people are more closed off than other such as Reborn. His book is surrounded in chains with no lock."

"So you read people as I they were books?" "Yes I do. I've gotten good at this since all I did was watch on the sidelines and analyze behaviors as such." I told him. "Now you'll soon be in the action." He said. After a couple of hours, he had to leave. "It was nice meeting you Arianna." "You too." I said back. "Before I go though, there's something that every guardian must have." "What is it?" I was confused. He pulled out a box from his jacket and opened it up. Inside, there were rings that were in half. "I'd like for you to take the half of the moon ring. Since you are Sawada Tsunayoshi's guardian, you must have this ring." He put his hands onto mine and smiled.

"I'll have to invite you for tea in Italy once your legs are all healed." "That would be lovely." I said with a soft smile. "Goodbye then. I'll tell your parents about everything so far." He left with his friend. It was a weird feeling being left alone. "You should be going to bed master. You've had a tiring day." I nodded and began to doze off while sitting. "Just sleep and I'll bring you into bed." My heavy eyes closed as I felt myself being lifted up again.

When I woke up, I went into the kitchen and made myself some tea and breakfast. I than remembered the package from my parents. Quickly, I went over and took the package and opened it up. There lying in the box was three items. There was a gun that was beautiful. Also, there was a metallic card and a black cape that was white on the inside. I took the card and examined it more. It was grey with a white circle in the middle. The card couldn't be opened which made it harder to understand. "Try using your flame master." My book said. "B-but how do I do that? Do I just focus on the card?" "Exactly!"

I focused and there was a flame in the circle. "Good job master!" "Thank you. Do you know what this is?" I asked. "Just wait to find out. It's checking the identification." As soon as she finished, the card extended to a staff. It was like any other staff. "It's a staff?" "Of course, but it's not a normal staff." "It looks completely normal though…" The staff was as light as a feather. "The staff can change to any weapon on command but it can only change if you hold it. It responds with your flame only." The book said.

"That's amazing!" I said as it turned back to a card. "Check the cape out too. It's armor believe it or not." The book told me. "That's amazing. But what happens when I get into a battle and I don't have the cape with me?" "I'll keep it inside the card. Now, whenever you go and take your staff out, the cape will come onto you automatically." My eyes lit up as I gazed upon everything. "And please be careful with the gun. If you put too much flame into it, you'll fire an attack that might be overpowering." The book cautioned me. "Okay, I'll be careful with it."

The next day, Tsuna came back with everyone. He was happy to be home. "It seems like you had quite an adventure." I told Tsuna. "You'd never believe it." He said. "I wish I could have gone with you." "It wasn't fun at all. Many things went horrible!" I could only giggle. "Are you going to the festival?" Tsuna asked me. "I'm not sure. I'm still debating on going or not." "You should still go. Everyone will be there." He said. "I'll think about it a little bit more."

The day when the festival came, I was woken up by my book. "Master, get up today's the festival!" She yelled. I groaned. "Five more minutes?" "No!" She levitated me in the air. "Ah, alright I'll go!" I yelled. "Good! I picked out a cute kimono for you to wear too." I sighed. She took out the kimono from the closet and showed it to me. "That's my mother's!" I exclaimed. "It is? Do you still want to wear it?" "Of course I do, but I'll need help though…" I said embarrassed. "That's okay, just leave it to me!"

After ten minutes, I was dressed and my hair was in a side bun. "You look absolutely beautiful master." "Thank you. Let's get going!" "Yay!" She got me out of the house. On the way there, I bumped into Kyoko and one of her friends. "Ari-chan, you're going to the festival too?" She asked. "Yes I am." I responded. "Hahi! Who are you?" She asked. "Ah, this is Arianna Abandonato. She's one of our classmates from school." Kyoko told her. On the way to the festival, I learned all about Haru.

"I have good news to tell you." I told them. "What is it?" Kyoko asked. "I went to the doctors and they said that the disease is starting to go away." Their faces were full of shock and excitement. "I'm glad that your disease is easing up. We should tell everyone when we get there." Kyoko said. "Let's go then!" Haru said pushing me along.

I spotted Tsuna with Gokudera and Yamamoto at a stand. "Three chocolate covered bananas please." The three of us said. Tsuna looked at us and gasped. "Ah, Ari-chan you came." He exclaimed. "Yes I did though I was somewhat forced." I could hear my book giggle. We were given the chocolate bananas. Kyoko then remembered something. "We have good news as well!" "Good news?" Yamamoto asked. "What kind?"

"It's about Ari-chan." Haru said. "What is it?" Tsuna asked. "Ari-chan recently went to the doctors and was told that her disease is easing and staring to go away." Kyoko said shocking them. "R-really?" "It's true Tsuna. Though, the doctors still don't know why it's going away or where it came from either." I said. Kyoko and Haru left with Lambo and I-pin.

"Ari-chan, is that your kimono? It's really pretty." Yamamoto asked. "It's my mothers. But since she isn't here to wear it, I thought that I would wear it." I told them. As time went on, I was moved inside the stand so I could be protected from the crowds. I tried my best to help but the three would stop me. I just watched at the sidelines again.

After the rush, Gokudera and Yamamoto left leaving Tsuna and I. Reborn came out of nowhere and sat on my lap. "It's good to see you made it Ari-chan." "I wasn't going to come, but I was forced by a certain someone." The book giggled again. Reborn smirked. Tsuna was too distracted by selling the bananas. "My parent's boss came by." "He did? Did he notice the book?" "Of course he did. He's letting the two of us stay together as well as some other things." "I noticed it as well. You have a Vongola ring on. So you're the missing guardian that Tsuna needed." Reborn said. I only nodded.

Tsuna turned around and smiled. "Do you want to do anything?" "I'd like to venture around." I said exiting the stand. Unfortunately, I was knocked over by a man that took the money as well. Tsuna's eyes were full of worry. "Ari-chan, are you alright?" "I'll be fine, go get the guy that stole the money." I demanded. He did as I told him and ran. There weren't a lot of people there. Kusakabe came running towards me. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine, but can you help me to my wheelchair?" He nodded and placed me onto the chair.

I wheeled myself as fast as I could to where the guy ran. Upon seeing the stairs, my book flew from my side. "I'm going to become your legs." She merged herself into me. As if it was magical, I stood up for the first time in years. I slowly made my way up the stairs but fell. "I'm sorry, I'm not used to standing or running yet." "That's fine master. Just focus on getting up the stairs."

When I made it up the stairs, I saw Tsuna there with a horrid expression on his face. "Stand up dammit!" I said to myself. As I stood, Tsuna noticed me. "A-Ari-chan?" "I came to help." I told him. I took a step and almost fell but was caught by someone. "Ah, Hibari-san!" He stood me up and went to fight. "Master, the card!" I nodded and took out the card. It turned into the staff. My cape was placed on my shoulders as a result.

Tsuna looked to me wide eyed. "It looks like a girl is trying to fight. She can't even stand straight." I growled and ran at him with extreme speed and knocked him out. I even left myself surprised. "Is this your power?" I asked. "No, this is your power my master." I smiled as more and more guys came towards us. Elegantly, I took them out one by one. Gokudera and Yamamoto soon came running and joined up. "How can you stand?!" Gokudera yelled. I ignored him and continued to fight.

But I was near my limit. After I took out the last guy, I fell to the ground. They all looked down at me in fear. My book appeared in my hand. "Master, you're exhausted. You've used too much energy." She said. "I-I know. My legs hurt so much." "It's a sign that your legs are healing." I only nodded and crawled to the temple where I sat on after a few tries of lifting myself up.

Hibari went to collect the money till Tsuna stopped him. "We raised this money together! Please don't take it!" He yelled. Hibari looked from Tsuna to me and smirked. "You owe me one." He left right after. Tsuna and the rest came running. "Ari-chan, how were you able to stand?" "My legs are healing." I said while moving my toes around. Reborn came down and sat next to me as Kyoko and Haru ran up with Fuuta. They didn't see me since it was too dark.

"You're surprising everyone."

"I guess I am."

"How are you feeling?"

"My legs are killing me."

"They're just healing. Don't worry about that."

"What should I worry about then?"

"The fact that Xanxus knows where the book is."
