'Thinking'
"Talking"
~Wednesday Oct 8 somewhere in Namimori forest dawn~
On the forest floor there were four kids sleeping without a care in the world. They were Tsuna, Riyo, Sora and Al. Above them was Tanaki who was having a hard time keeping himself from laughing as he watch them all huddle closer together for warmth. He took a picture with his phone for future blackmail. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out an air horn. Holding it away from himself he pushed the button.
"Ah!" all four teens yell and jumped at the sound. Then they looked at each other, which were still holding on to each other. "Ah!" they yell again as they all stood up and looked around.
"What's going on? Why were we all sleeping together? And where are we?" Tsuna asked then he notice Tanaki who was laughing at their expense.
Tanaki laughed a little more before he looked at everyone. "We my cute little brother, are in the middle of Namimori Forest. The reason why you are all here is to train in survival. You will all stay here for twenty four hours then I will come to pick you up. Any questions?" he said.
Al spoke up at that. "Yea, I was just wondering, how on Earth did you bring us here without us noticing?" he said. "I can understand Riyo-chan and Tsunayoshi since they live with you, but what about me and Sora?"
Tanaki smirked as he remembered kidnapping them all during the night.
~Tuesday night 2:34 a.m. at Tsuna's house~
Tanaki walked over to Tsuna's room holding a spray can that held sleeping spray. He shook the can a bit before opening the door to the brunet's room. Stepping over clothes, paper, and cables he made his way over to the bed. Ripping off the blanket enough to wake Tsuna up for a second before spraying the can and making Tsuna go into a deep dreamless sleep. Smirking at his work he picked up Tsuna and handed him to his partner who took Tsuna away to the forest. Doing the same to the others and waiting till they all woke up the next morning.
~back to the present~
"Simple, I snuck in knocked you out and put you in van then brought you all here and waited for you guys to wake up." Tanaki said with a smile that belongs to a crazy person. Everyone gave him a look that said, 'This-person-is-crazy!'
"Um…nii-san…what about school?" Tsuna said.
"Oh that. Don't worry, I got you all excused for the day." He told them all quickly. "Tomorrow at 5 am I will pick you all up and take you all home. But before that I need to tell you be careful. There's a rumor a monster is in the forest that likes to eat children our age." He said then gave them all a backpack and clothes (they were all in pj)"Good luck you guys." He said before jumping into a van and leaving them all behind.
"What the hell just happened?" Sora said what was on everyone's mind.
"We are stuck in the middle of nowhere with no food, no water and no idea how to live. We're all going to die! Hii!" Tsuna panicked. Al walked over to the back pack in the middle or the clearing they were in while Sora and Riyo watched Tsuna pulling his hair out.
"Maybe not, look in here guys." Al said pulling some things out. There was a first aid kit, matches, a flashlight with batteries, four canteens, a small knife, rope, a fishing line and a book on plant life. "We can live off of this."
"I think we should all change first." Riyo told them who was blushing at the three boys in front of her. They all gave her a confused look. The pointed at them and then the clothes Tanaki.
They all looked down at themselves. Tsuna had on a large t-shirt and boxer shirts, Sora was wearing only sweat pants, and Al had only shorts and a muscle shirt on. It them all ten seconds to understand why they were making the only girl with them uncomfortable. "S-sorry Riyo-chan, w-we'll c-change r-r-right n-now." Tsuna stuttered quickly and dragged the two boys away with some clothes. Making sure to leave some for her.
They all came back changed and ready to fight the wild. They all had on close to the same clothes. Military print shirts and black and baggy back pants and boots. They put their old clothes into the backpack. The only difference was the color of their shirts. Riyo had on yellow, Tsuna had orange, Al had on blue and Sora was wearing red. "Okay then we should all pick jobs." Al said to them.
"Hey why are you in charge. Tsunayoshi-sama is the Boss. He should be in charge." Sora yelled.
"It's okay. I agree. So what should we do?" Tsuna calmed the raven. Sora calmed down and seemed to go into deep thought.
"Well we should find water, food and shelter." He said. "The most important is water. If we find water most likely we will find animals we can cook."
"You mean kill an animal." Tsuna said.
"Well I'm a vegetarian so I'll find some plants to eat. Thank you." Al said and he grabbed the book and looked through it.
"I don't want to eat a rabbit so find enough for two." Riyo said
"I won't kill a rabbit okay. Maybe I can catch us a fish." Sora said quickly and grabbed the fishing string and then he broke a branch and started making a fishing pole. Then he picked up the four canteens
"Tsu-nii you can help me then making a camp. We will need a fire and bedding." Riyo then got up and started looking for things for the fire. Tsuna nodded and with that they made their way to do their job.
~Midday~
Sora had found a lake and was very happy. He had been walking for how many hours. He was sweaty, tired and hungry. He made his way to the water and saw it was clean. He filled them with water and drank from the one that was red. Then he got ready to fish.
But Sora is not a patient person and got irritated and started to stomp in the water to get a fish. Angry he got his things and stomped up the hill to get back to camp. But because he was wet he ended up slipping and falling in a rose bush.
After about an hour Sora made it back to camp where Riyo and Tsuna were trying to make a fire. He walked up to them and smiled as he held up the canteens. "I got us some water." He said smiling.
"OMG what happened to you?" Riyo asked.
"I fell in a rose bush. It's nothing really." Sora said but winced when he tried to wave it off. Riyo sighed and made him sit down. Then Riyo grabbed the first aid kit.
"Take off the shirt." Riyo said. Sora was about to protest but Riyo shot him a glare that shut him up. He took off his shirt reveling scratches all over his body.
"Wow, what happened to you?" Al came into camp carrying an armful of fruits and plants. "Did you fight a bear or something?" he joked.
"Haha, very funny, you know what next time you need water you can get it yourself." Sora said then winces when Riyo pulled out a thorn.
"Sorry this may take a while." Riyo said then she turned to Tsuna and Al. "Can you guys start the fire please. Oh and make sure anything that is flammable is far away if Tsuna has the matches." Riyo joked.
"I said sorry. It was five years ago. How was I supposed to know the table was going to catch fire?" Tsuna said while Al and Sora exchanged confused looks. After ten minutes Riyo had taken out every thorn from Sora with a few yelps and cries. Tsuna and Al were able to make a fire.
"I don't think we have enough bandages for you." Riyo said looking through the kit.
"It's okay. I'm fine." Sora said and tried to get up but he winced.
"See, you still hurt." Riyo made him sit down. She had a hesitant look on her face before she made her up her mind. Then she pulled out a ring from around her neck. She put it on her finger. "I am so in trouble if Ta-nii finds out that I had this on me."
Sora's eyes widen before he relaxed. "Riyo-sama, I'll be fine you don't need to use that."
"Use what?" Al asked. "What are you planning on doing with that ring?"
"I plan to use my flame to heal Sora-san." Riyo told them and then she lit her ring. A small soft yellow flame erupted and then she started healing Sora's wounds. After a few minutes she was done. As soon as she was the ring shattered. "Darn, that's the second one in five weeks."
"What was that?" Tsuna asked. "Was that the flame you talked about?" Riyo stood up and dusted herself off.
"Yep, I'll tell you after we eat I'm starving." She said and they began cooking. They never notice a camera watching them all the time.
~In a van at the edge of the forest~
Tanaki saw Riyo use the sun flame to heal Sora's wounds. A good thing because even he could see if she didn't they wouldn't have noticed the broken rib he had. 'Riyo has good eyes. But I'm still going to kill that guy for teaching her to use the Dying Will Flames.' Tanaki thought.
Then he noticed a call coming in for him by video chat. He pressed the answer button and the screen showed a woman in her late forties wearing pointed glasses and a grey tweed suite. "Good day, Tanaki-san. I'm here to report our findings." The woman said.
"Ah, Miss. Ginger what can you tell me." Tanaki said
"Well it seems the Vongola have hired Reborn to tutor Tsukiya (Tsuna's younger brother). We have confirmation saying they intend for the boy to become Vongola Tenth." Miss Ginger paused to observe her boss' reaction.
"I see, then either they completely forgotten about Tsuna, or they never considered him." Tanaki said. 'Those b*******, they will be sorry for hurting Tsuna. I'm sorry Riyo and Tsuna. I guess Tsuna will never get to have a real family.' Tanaki thought, and then spoke again. "What about the tests?"
"Yes, we tested the blood samples you got us of Yamaro Al and Ren Sora. Yamaro has Rain class flames and Ren has Storm class flames." Miss Ginger said reading the reports in her hand. "By the way when do you plan to bring them over to the base?" she asked.
Tanaki thought about it for a while before answering her questions. "When we have all of the guardians. All we need now is Thunder and Cloud and we are done."
"Fine then, just make sure you don't overdo it. The last thing we need is traumatized teens running the Family." She said before hanging up.
"I won't traumatize them. I think." He told himself
~back with Tsuna's group. Sunset~
Riyo and Al were out gathering more wood. While walking around Riyo heard a rustling in a bush. Getting ready for some big animal to attack she looked over to the bush. Then a small ferret came out and walked around. Riyo smiled and picked some berries she held them out for it. "Come on little guy." She whispered. The ferret sniffed them before eating them. Then it climbed onto her arm and licked her face. "Do you want to come home with me?" The ferret just licked her cheek as an answer. "Okay then I'll name you Astro. Do you like it?" Astro licked her again as a yes.
"Riyo, we need to get back we have enough fire wood." Al yelled not far from her.
"Coming!" she yelled back and picked up the wood. Then she walked back to camp. When she did Sora and Tsuna gave her questioning looks.
"Riyo-chan, why do you have a ferret?" Tsuna asked her as she put the wood down.
"This is my new friend. His name is Astro. I found him. Please Tsu-nii can I keep him?" Riyo asked holding onto Astro.
"Riyo-chan I don't…" Tsuna started but made the mistake of looking into Riyo's eyes that were making a puppy dog eyes. "Fine with me, but you have to talk to Kaa-san and nii-san about it."
Sora threw a piece of wood into the cracking fire. "This should last us the night. Now do you mind telling us about that ring, Riyo-chan?"
Riyo sighed and sat down next to Tsuna. Then she began telling them what Tanaki told Tsuna. After about half an hour she was done. "I used a prototype ring. I have a few that I use until the real ones are done." She told them and showed them a few more rings around her neck.
"But, how did you heal Sora-kun's wounds?" Tsuna asked.
"Every flame has a different effect." Riyo said. "The Sky flame that Tsu-nii has the Harmony effect and is the rarest of all flames. The Storm flame is Disintegration, Rain is Tranquility, Sun is Activity, Thunder is Hardening, Cloud is Propagation and Mist is Construction."
"So what would be our flames?" Al asked when Riyo was done.
"I have no clue. You'll have to ask Ta-nii. He already sent for test to be done." She told them and got a confused look in return. "I saw a needle mark on Sora when I was treating him and knew it was from a blood transfusion."
"Eh, he Tanaki-sama took my blood!" Sora said
"Anyway can't we just use the rings you have to see what flame we have?" Al asked and Riyo just shook her head.
"The ring type and flame type have to be the same or nothing happens. I only have Sun and Mist class rings." She told him.
"Why do you have Mist class rings?" Tsuna asked her.
"Because even though I can use Sun flames better I still can use Mist flames, but not as good as Ta-nii." Riyo tells him.
They were quiet for a while then Sora broke the silence "Hey what do you guys think Tanaki-sama meant when he said that there's a monster in the forest?" He asked them
"Maybe he was just trying to scare us there's no such thing as monsters." Al answered.
"Y-you're s-sure a-about t-t-that? W-what if t-there is s-something o-out there?" Tsuna said beginning to panic. Then thunder sounded out in the distance. "Hii!" yelled and jump a foot in the air.
"It's okay Tsunayoshi-sama it's just a storm." Sora said then looked up and saw dark clouds. "We should find a place to stay before it starts raining." He told them and they started to gather their things.
"I remember seeing a cave not far from here." Al told them. "It should be big enough to hide us there." He told them and led them through the forest and to a big cave. "We should rest here until morning." And they went inside.
"Are you sure this is safe? Something could be in here already." Sora said looking around the cave.
"Sure, it's completely safe. Or do you think there's a monster here?" Al teases Sora unaware that happened to spook Tsuna and Riyo.
"Of course not! Anyway we should get to sleep." Sora said. They all lie down and soon fall asleep.
~still in the cave Dawn of Thursday Oct 9 ~
The sun was coming up and morning dew covered the grass. The cold morning air woke up the four teens. The rain clouds have passed and they were stretching getting ready to get picked up by Tanaki. "Ah, we were able to survive the night with no problem." Al said "I wonder when Tanaki will pick us up?"
"Don't use his name so casually and I'm sure it's soon." Sora replied.
"Um…guys do you hear growling?" Riyo said out of the blue. They all looked over to hear and quieted down. Then they heard it, a low animalist growling coming from the back of the cave. The cave was to dark inside for them to see anything but they knew it was coming closer.
"M-m-monster?" Tsuna started panicking shivering like crazy.
"N-n-no, i-it c-c-c-can't b-b-be, m-m-monsters a-a-aren't r-r-r-real." Sora said trying to be calm. Everyone had edge closer to the mouth of the cave. Then a roar came and they all ran like a bat out of hell screaming bloody murder.
It wasn't till they were back were Tanaki left them yesterday. They looked behind them and saw a huge monster of a bear. "Tsu-nii, is this the end?" Riyo asked. Astro was hidden in her hair shaking like a leaf.
"I don't know." Tsuna said, they all huddled up in a small group just as the bear prepares to jump on them. Then a voice yelled 'STOP!', and the bear left them alone.
"Huh?" they all said and turned to see Tanaki petting the so called 'evil bear'
"Nii-san, why are you petting the bear that tried to kill us?" Tsuna asked the question on everyone's mind. Then they all stood up.
"Because, he was only doing his job." He smiled at them. "So how was your night?"They were all quiet for a while until Riyo snapped her fingers.
"I just found the monster that Ta-nii talked about." She said. They gave her questioning looks.
"Riyo, I doubt a bear counts as a monster." Al told her.
"Not the bear. The monster is Ta-nii." She said with a smile. Everything was quiet for about ten seconds before everyone but Tanaki was laughing. It even looked like the animals were laughing. Tanaki seemed to turn to stone.
"I think we should go." Tanaki said and they all stopped laughing. They all got in the van and left. Yes even the bear that they later learn was named Velo. They drop Al, then Sora before heading home. Tamaki loved little Astro and said yes to keeping him as long as Riyo took care of him. Then after getting ready they all left for school.
~Later that day at school in Riyo's class~
Some girls came up to Riyo in some girls surrounded Riyo at her desk during break just as she was going to leave. "Yet a minute Yamigura, where do you think you're going?" a girl said.
"Out?" she told them that just seemed to make them mad.
"No, we heard you beat up some of my friends. Do you mind explaining why?" the girl that seemed to be the leader asked
"Sure, they were bad mouthing my brother so I taught them a lesion." She said, that caused a few murmurs in the group. Then the girl bowed to Riyo.
"Gomen Yamigura-san we had no idea. We won't bother you again." The leader said and then the group left.
"I never said it was Ta-nii though." She whispered to herself when the group was out of earshot. Then shrugging she walked out of the room only to be knock down by a fast moving redhead. They both fell to the ground. "Ow." Riyo said as she rubbed her butt. The red head looked up to her and then helped her up.
"Sorry, sorry." He said bowing. He was an inch taller her and wore thick back glasses and his hair reached the ends of his ear. Riyo recognized him as Potter Noah; he came from Europe with his Family.
"I'm okay." She told the boy. Then she could hear yelling from the end of the hallway and saw three upper classmen. Noah seemed to panic. "Are those guys bothering you?" she asked him. Noah looked surprised but nodded, "Then come with me." She didn't wait for and answer and grabbed his hand and led them to an empty room.
The room was filled boxes and dust. At the door was the three upper classman. To the boys it looked like they were trapped. But to Riyo it looked like her plan worked. Grabbing a broom and taking the handle she looked ready to fight. "Hey look boys she thinks she can take us on." One of the boys said and they laughed.
Noah looked at Riyo worried and hid behind one of the boxes. After two minutes he changed his mind when he saw the bullies on the ground twitching. "They aren't dead right?" he asked Riyo.
"Of course not. That would ruin my fun." She said. "My names Yamigura Riyo by the way." She told him.
"Thank you for your help. Can I call you Yami-chan?" he asked with blush. Riyo blink a few times before nodding.
"Okay…then I'll call you Noah-kun." She said. "You know I think this is the start of a wonderful friendship." And they walked out of the room turning off the light and ignoring the groans of the beat up boys.
~after school at Tamaki's cake shop~
Noah met with Tanaki, Tsuna, Sora and Al during lunch and they all learned he knew how to make bombs and is a high level hacker. He would get bullied for his hair color and lived in a house of nine. After school they all went to Tamaki's shop and everyone helped run the shop.
Tamaki put Al at the register, Sora and Tsuna cleaning, Noah and Riyo were waiters and Tanaki ran away before being forced into a frilly apron. "I can't believe nii-san ran away." Tsuna complained as he cleared a table.
"Well…maybe he had an important meeting." Sora said but then he felt glares on him from almost everyone. Riyo noticed Noah was pretty quite.
"Noah-kun is something wrong?" she asked him. Noah blushed a bit but answered.
"N-no, I was just thinking. The strawberry short cake and peach cream cake seem the most popular. If make more of those then you can gain more profit. Also promoting some of the cakes can help bring in costumers." He told her. Tsuna, Tamaki and Riyo stared at him in shock. He got nervous but it left him when he was tackled in a hug from Tamaki.
"Oh Noah, you will be a great son-in-law. With you and Riyo in charge of the shop I don't have to worry about it when I retire." Tamaki said causing Riyo and Noah to blush.
"O-okaa-sama, d-don't say things like that. W-what makes you think we will get married anyway?" Riyo stuttered out still red.
"Of course you two will marry. I can feel the blooms of young love from you two." She said. Then a banging from upstairs could be heard before Tamaki came out.
"Riyo…love….marry? What in the name of all things sane is going on here?" He asked. But he got no answer as he was grabbed by Tamaki and dressed in an apron, gloves and hairnet.
"You, young man are still in trouble for dying you hair when I said no. Now go clean the dishes." Tamaki told him and pulled him into the kitchen.
"No~ Save Me~ Tsuna, Riyo, avenge my death!" Tanaki yelled before disappearing behind the kitchen doors. Everyone stood still for a second before laughing.
"Yami-chan your family is funny." Noah said, and then they all got back to work.
~Late at night in Tanaki's room~
Tanaki was on the computer reading some reports when he got an e-mail from Miss Ginger. He read through it and when he finished he gave a smile. "Looks like I will be training Noah as well." He told himself. "Thunder flame class huh. Well he does look like one seeing as he told us he can use bombs. All that's left is Cloud." He said before turning off the computer.
Me: That done. Sorry it took a while.
Risa: yes sorry. Now don't you have something to say?
Me: I forgot…again.
Risa:*face palms* idiot
Me: ah right, sorry if it seems boring but I need to get meeting Tsuna's Family out of the way. Also Tsuna will be OOC. If you have any questions PM me or leave a review and I'll answer it here.
Risa: good, please review.
