A/Nem: Chapter 4! Let's goo~
Did anyone figure out the fandom? Anybody? Hmm… I guess I'll say it at the end of the chapter, might come out as a surprise to you all but honestly I thought it would fit or something.
Anyway, lettuce go!
Hehe… Lettuce…
IV
Sushi, Baseball and Moving Clouds
Kawahira sighed as he looked over the very well forged documents that would help his latest 'costumer'.
"I have to wonder… Was it the Vindice who found out?" he wondered out loud as he tidied up his desk "Have they finally found out the other sets? The one set before this all started?" he looks at the documents before sighing and turned to the direction of the room where his cloaked customer was currently sleeping in.
The female was tired, she hadn't been sleeping well clearly, not to mention she was actually injured underneath the cloak and strong and stoic façade that instantly crumbled the moment she passed out from exhaustion.
It seemed she had dealt with the most of her problem before she left France, but she hadn't dealt with all of them clearly from the fact she was on the run and was seeking out his help to hide from the remaining problem.
He doubts that she would tell him what was wrong because while he was the one helping her out, she was a proud woman and had a heroic personality despite on how she acted. She would rather deal her problems herself rather than get others to do it for her, one of the traits Duusu had liked from her.
Duusu… he wondered on how the little peacock was, along with the others. He had stopped visiting them and young Fu decades ago after he had given the Pacifiers to their new owners, Fu would be over 100 now and no doubt was still be kicking.
He would know if the Chinese man would have died, he had his resources of course.
He smirked as he remembered the young Asian man that he had given the title of Guardian of Gems to, he had taken his role spectacularly. Though soon enough he would have to visit them again and possibly choose another Guardian in the near future, possible candidates popped into his head as he stands from his desk.
Yes, the near future was looking quite fun.
Tsuna and Sheele had more and less freaked out enough at Tsuna's sudden jump of mental maturity, deciding best not to question it and not cause a massive headache in the process.
It was bad enough they were still figuring things out especially with the fact someone had tried to kidnap/kill them and their mother (Yes, Sheele had by this time fully consider Nana to be her own mother, it was hard not to) but suddenly it almost seemed like a rather realistic dream.
Almost being the keyword.
Their ankle was still bruised, their entire body had ached badly and had some bad bruises, their cheek was still cut and all was still healing.
They managed to hide their bruised spots and ankle and faked being tired for their aches and lied successfully to Nana of the cut, accidentally scratched their cheek that was caused by a sharp rock by tripping over their crayons.
The disappearance of the body, blood and the pruning shears that she had used as a weapon had both supported and didn't support the fact of it being a dream. It was the shears and their injuries that contradicted it from being a dream though, the shears were missing after all and they didn't imagine that as Nana questioned where it was later that day.
Though they were thankful that Nana didn't come home to find their daughter passed out beside a dead corpse with her pair of pruning shears so that was a plus.
Right now though, they were dressing up to go out with their mother to visit an old friend of hers.
Sheele was uncomfortable of it all, still slightly scared of the outside world that was so different from her original world but she didn't want to upset Nana so she would put up with it. Besides it was a good chance to get used to the new world she had awoken to.
Tsuna was supporting her all the way as they headed their way down the stairs, wearing a light orange sundress with little flowers stitched around the hem of her dress's skirt, underneath the skit were small black pants and she wore plain white slippers.
She saw he-their mama standing at the doorway smiling happily, a bag filled with food in her hands. Her mama looked pretty even though her clothes were quite plain, a simple pink blouse with a small brown jacket and a long dark brown skirt that, she couldn't see her mother's shoes from the stairs though.
"Tsu-kun! Ready?" Nana asked quite eagerly and practically beamed when Tsuna smiled back, not noticing or ignoring the hesitance before the smile "Hai mama, I'm ready!" chirped Tsuna as she approached her mother, mentally cheering with Sheele when she didn't trip from the stairs.
Minutes later both females were out of the house, the unknowing third female was mentally breathing heavily trying to remind herself it was for Nana and by extension for Tsuna and herself.
Everything looked so different, smooth stone roads, colorful smooth houses both separate and combined, different looking shops and stores. There were rare instances of some shops looking similar to some old shops she had liked before but it didn't really help much.
To any other person her fears seem irrelevant and almost unnecessary and childish but to her? It made sense, this world was not her own, completely different in any and almost every way, her friends were no longer with her (or she was no longer with them) in her life anymore. She felt alone in this big new world.
She may have been airheaded before and clumsy yes but at least she had the full support of Night Raid with her to deal with the world, her friends by her side she felt like she could anything (just like how she managed to save her friend from death from another Imperial Arms User) but in this new world she barely had anyone. She was already getting used to being with Tsuna (even with the weird fusion moment from yesterday) and she was already seeing Nana replacing her own mother in maternal sides.
For godsakes she nearly jumped out of their skin after hearing a bunch of cars honk at each other or zoom by the first time after getting out of that hospital! She hadn't been paying much attention to the rest of her surroundings after that…
'Everything will be fine She-nee, I'm right here and Mama's here with us. Remember it's for Mama' Tsuna told her mentally as she walked with he… their mother 'I know…' Sheele responded after a moment of hesitation.
"Mama's friend is planning to open a new sushi restaurant nearby so soon enough, Tsuyo-kun's sushi was really delicious before he went away and I know he's improved greatly!" Nana told them with a bright smile as they walked, Tsuna nodded with a soft smile at the sight of their mother's smile.
They didn't have to walk any longer as Nana stopped in front of a building, it looked to be a Sushi restaurant that was in construction as there were still paper clinging to the glass and an incomplete lettering above the door saying 'TakeSu'.
"Come on Tsu-chan, I absolutely know that you and Takeshi-kun are going to be the best of friends!" Nana beamed as they knocked on closed door, calling out to the ones that were living inside the sushi restaurant/house.
The door slid open and a two males stood behind the previously closed door, Tsuyoshi and Takeshi looked alike with age and some scratches on Tsuyoshi's face being the difference to it all.
"Nana-chan! I'm glad you came!" Tsuyoshi grinned at her and noticed the small figure that hid behind her skirt and smiled down at the little girl "And this must be Tsunako-chan! It's a pleasure to meet you Tsuna-chan, I'm Yamamoto Tsuyoshi, your mom's old friend" he said to her crouching to her eye-level before nudging his own offspring forward "And this is my son Takeshi, say hello Takeshi-kun!" he prompted with a bright smile.
Takeshi blinked before he practically mirrored his father's bright smile and aimed it at Tsuna, a hand out to shake hers "Ohayo Tsuna-chan! I'm Takeshi!" he told her happily. Tsuna smiled back hesitantly, although her sudden maturity did give her some more courage and confidence it didn't change to the fact she was still very shy "O-Ohayo Ta-Takeshi-kun! I'm Tsunako" she said quietly, unused to talking to other people very much.
With the other children making fun of her and mocking her for her small stature, her clumsiness and airheaded moments it was kind of hard to interact with other people.
Though she was quiet it seemed that Takeshi heard her perfectly and practically beamed at her "Wanna be friends?" he said eagerly and Tsuna, while taken back a bit, agreed with little hesitation because finally! First actual friend around her age!
"That's great Tsu-chan! Your first friend! Now you two run along and play with each other okay? Me and Tsuyo-kun want to talk and spend some time with each other for a bit" Nana said as her smile impossibly went brighter, Sheele nearly wanted to cover her eyes from that bit but Tsuna was not really effected besides her initial happiness towards her happy mother.
"Okay! Come on Tsunako-chan! Let's go to my room!" Takeshi laughed and grabbed Tsuna's hand and tugged them inside, Tsuna squeaked and flushed as she was led and dragged to the boy's bedroom to play. Though when she almost trips at the stairs Takeshi spends a minute worrying over her before returning to his bubbly self and continued on to his room with her in tow.
The two adults looked at their direction with fond amusement as Tsuyoshi let Nana inside, closing the door and offered her tea with her graciously accepting.
"There's much we need to catch up on!" Nana told him as they venture to his new kitchen that was part of his sushi restaurant.
Young steel grey eyes looked on impassively at the town that moved around the transportation that they were on, it all looked unimpressive towards him in all honesty.
He said this out loud to the person to his right and grunt at the stern silver look he got from her.
"Shush my Yúnquè, be at least thankful I am letting you start your territory so early in your lifespan." she says and he grunts again as to say he was acknowledging her words "Namimori will be your territory from here on out, of course you must prove yourself to be the alpha of this area and prove to me and your father that you are the carnivore you think yourself you are. But know this, until you have met with my conditions myself and your father will not acknowledge your proper alpha status" she continues and the young man grits his teeth, reluctantly nodding as he looked at her.
He looked just like his father but he had his mother's grey almost silver eyes, both his parents were quite the alpha but both he and his father knew that mother was the alpha to both of them.
"Yes mother" he said in a monotone voice but deep down he was looking forward in proving his status in the near future "I will prove these pathetic herbivores that there is a new carnivore in charge of this place" he promised with a malicious smirk that mirrored his mother's own.
"Good" was all Faruko said to her Yúnquè of a son as she and Kyoya looked out the limo towards their new home that was provided by her husband, the Hibari Mansion.
Yes, she could tell that the future would be bright for her son just as it was for her.
Yúnquè = Skylark in Simplified Chinese
Sheele smiled as she and Tsuna listen to Takeshi babble about some sort of sport called 'Baseball' and what not, besides that he would babble on how his dad's sushi was the best sushi ever.
Currently the three of them were trying to build a massive house out of blocks and random things that Takeshi had lying around in his room. Though of course it was unknown to Takeshi that there were actually three of them instead of two in the room but that was okay.
"What about you Tsunako-chan? Do you like baseball and sushi?!" Takeshi asked excitedly, Tsuna blinked before answering "U-Um, I've never wa-watched baseball b-before so I-I don't know" she looked at him in confusion as Takeshi adopted a horrified look as if Tsuna just killed his hopes and dreams and stomped on its corpse, internally Tsuna and Sheele grimaced at the morbid saying wondering why they thought back briefly before Tsuna quickly continued "I l-love sushi though!" though it only seemed to calm the boy down ever so slightly.
Suddenly the black haired boy gained a serious look in his eyes "The next time we play we're going to play baseball and I'm going to show you how cool it is!" he said, starting serious at the start but ended it with an excited grin "But right now, let's finish this house!" he said enthusiastically making her nod with a smile.
It was nice playing with someone your age and they weren't making fun of you.
Hibari Kyoya glared at the lined up bunch of herbivores that would be acting as caretakers of his new main nest territory. The most of the staff cowered but some stood tall and the few used to the glare stood emotionlessly but with their heads bowed down submissively.
The ones that stood emotionlessly were mostly the oldest ones, clearly already trained by his father and his mother but the others would have to be trained and learned. Speaking of his mother, he watched his mother inform both the new and old staff members of all the rules and other things they would need to survive their new job.
Some ignorant herbivores dared to look indignant and appalled at some rules, regulations and other things but they would soon learn to either live with it or find another job.
The young Hibari didn't bother to hear the rest of it and just entered his new area to scout, first he would scout his main nest area then proceed to scout and patrol the surrounding territory that would be in his control soon enough that and he would have to find a trusting subordinate/minion/pack member.
Perhaps he would recruit one of his local kin here, his mother had said there was a small branch that had a son around his age that would probably make a good subordinate, Kusa-something… Ah, he would find out soon enough.
But back to the task at hand, he looked around and observed his new surroundings making notes and plans in his head as he silently stalked through the halls of the mansion. The color of the walls and the floor was pleasing to his eyes but some decorations would immediately have to go he thought to himself as he looked at some ridiculous sculptures and other things.
His lips curled in distaste at some of them, but he had to admit that some of the decorations were pleasing to his eyes. Especially those twin katanas that hung above the door to a room he found to be an armory.
When he entered the armory he expected many things, what he didn't expect was some kind of mini-almost-shrine-like area that mostly had… kitchen utensils? Specifically pans, rolling pins, the knives he could make sense but there was a skillet and various other spatulas as well.
That and a young woman's pictures hanging above them all.
There were three pictures in total, one was a head picture of the young woman. Said woman was seemed to be a teen in age in the picture, she had brown shoulder-length hair and bright brown eyes that sparkled with life, she was even smiling brightly at whoever was taking the picture. She was wearing a plain magenta blouse in the picture.
The second picture he was surprised to see a younger version of his mother smiling at the camera besides the younger but older looking teen in the first picture, granted the smile was small and unnoticeable to most other people but it was rare for his mother to smile like that to anyone besides himself and father. Both his mother and the female besides her were wearing a school uniform, one he would find out later the Namimori's standard uniform.
The last picture was of a group that involved his mother and the mysterious female, though they all looked older. It was a group of six, there were about an equal amount of each gender, 3 males and 3 females that included his mother and of course the other female from the other pictures.
He tilted his head in confusion, looking at the utensils and the pictures with a contemplating look on his face. Why were they here in the armory of things? The knives he could expect but the pans and spatulas?
"Hn, so I see you have found the armory" he jumped and whipped around, glaring at the sudden appearance of his mother. The woman looked at him impassively "You let your guard down" she noted emotionlessly, he gritted his teeth and looked away as he already knew that.
He stepped back as his mother stepped forward, he observed her as she looked at the area. Outwardly she looked all the same but in her eyes he caught a fond look in them "Why are they here? I doubt they have a place here" he asked and though he expected a look of silent fury from her all he got was silent amusement.
She looked at him with amusement and her lips even twitched upwards "Oh these belong here my Yúnquè, these were actually used effectively as weapons by an old packmate of mine… I wonder if she stayed in her little nest or reproduced a youngling…" she trailed off as she lifts a certain pan… which had an dent of a human face in it…
He blinked and slowly backed away from the room, following his instincts as his mother swung the pan around with a malicious smile on her face, muttering about something he didn't really care much. By the time he had sneaked out successfully out of the room he heard a large clanging crash and the slight feminine cackle.
He forced down a shiver and slinked away, focusing back on exploring the new area he was in, that and forget temporarily what happened in the previous room.
Kawahira smiled in amusement as the young blonde child glared at him with scathing green eyes "This was not what I wanted" she seethed at him. The glasses wearing ancient just shrugged while wearing that same amused grin.
"Unfortunately this was the only option left, from now on you are Alicia Evans daughter of Damien Evans who should be here by the end of the month so you have plenty of time to think of your new location and residence." Kawahira told her as she looked at herself in the mirror, tiny hands curled into fists and punched the mirror… doing nothing to the mirror.
He chuckled as the young ex-woman pouted at him, though she would vehemently deny it. The newly dubbed 'Alicia' stopped glaring at him and sighed "Fine" she grumbled as she walked towards the table that was covered with maps, brochures, and other papers that were filled with information on various countries and other things.
"I suppose this pays off my debt then?" Kawahira asked with a knowing look, the now 8 year old child looked at him "Almost, all that's left is protection over my family…" she told him as she lifted a paper that had information of places in Canada in one hand and in the other had information of locations in England.
"Very well, but once again I hope you know what you're doing Adelia. Because at this point, there is no turning back" she once again glared at him with her green eyes "I know what I'm doing… and I can't turn back even if I wanted to" she said as she puts down the papers and observes more papers.
Kawahira nodded before leaving the room, when he hears the small sobs as he closes the doors he says nothing.
"Goodbye then, Adelia Agreste… and Hello, Alicia Evan" he says to himself as he enters another room.
A/Nem: Drum roll!...
Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir~~
Don't ask why I picked that, I just… I actually don't know why I did that anyway but like I said this fandom won't be in this story until later on. And the actual show won't be happening until way later on.
Things are complicated but I try.
P.S. CRAP SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE: Things in reality have been making things hard for me to do stuff. It started with Mother's Day Madness (hunting ex-mothers for personal reasons, relax there was no blood or killing, just emotional responses and more) to a crazy ex who should be in jail but was bailed by her family (no not me and my bro's ex but actually my Dad's crazy enough).
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, I am mentally and physically tired, updates are going slow, my bro's going to be fine though but still his arm's casted :(
I have no idea, bleh, bye
P.P.S Skull's Illusion is still going, just, like I ssaid slow updates…
