I'm happy to have finally gotten my first review fortheirs story. Thank you for the wonderful review.
So here is chapter 4. Enjoy!
I own nothing concerning Katekyo Kitman Reborn. All rights go to Akira Amano, except for the characters I've created.
Instead of going home, I decided to wonder about the neighborhood. I neglected to go to Tsuna's house because I already found out who my trainer is.
It was nearly sundown when I spotted three children being terrorized by men in black (Lol). The eldest was no more than twelve and he wore a scarf and a green sweater. He had light brown hair and brown eyes. The other two children appeared to be around five or so. The girl appeared to be Chinese while the boy... Looked like a cow with an afro.
The eldest was running with the two kids in his arms with the men in black tailing behind him. I ran for them. One of the men was about to strike the kid with a rod that produced electricity. Before the man was able to attack, I jumped onto his shoulders and locked my legs around his neck. He reached up for me but I grabbed his hand to halt him. I then thrusted my weight forward, causing him to flip both of us over onto the ground, flat on our backs. I still had my legs wrapped around his neck and his arm twisted. He was in a deadlock.
"Cool.." the cow said.
"She's strong.." the eldest said.
"Are you alright?" the Chinese girl asked me.
"I'm fine. Run!"
The three started running only to have two more goons after them.
"Shit!" I released the man before me and ran after the others.
I caught up to the kids and took a hold of both infants and told the eldest to run.
"Thank you!" He said anxiously and terrified to me.
"It was nothing." I replied, "Just keep running."
"Lambo-san's scared!" the cow said.
"Behind us!" the Chinese girl called.
I turned around and saw a goon about to strike us. I didn't have enough time to dodge, so I embraced for impact and shielded the three.
*BAM*
I looked back and saw that the man terrorizing us was gone.
"W.. What...?" I asked surprised.
"Vongola Famiglia's Guardian of the Sun and Colonello's best disciple, Sasagawa Ryohei is here." His hand was steaming.
"Onii-san!" Tsuna was here as well?
"Not yet." Reborn?
"This is 02. Target located. I'll attack." the other goon said, "Gah!"
However he was knocked back by a- sword?
"This is 03. Due to someone, 02 was... !? Gyaah!" The third was taken out by- bombs?
"Geez, why does the dumb cow have a ring?"
"You guys are safe now."
Ryohei, Gokudera and Yamamoto were standing around us, protectively. I couldn't help but stare at them in shock.
"Everyone!" Tsuna was ecstatic to see everyone okay.
"Looks like Iemitsu made it just in time." Reborn said.
Iemitsu?
"Everyone!" Tsuna came running for us.
"Juudaime!" Gokudera greeted.
"It's been a while," Yamamoto said with a smile.
"Hey," Ryohei greeted as well.
"Tsuna-nii! I was so scared." The boy said.
"Are you alright? I-pin, you're hurt! Did you fight them?" Tsuna asked.
"I'm hungry~! Tsuna~ piggy back~!" Lambo complained while rolling on the floor.
"Don't lay on the floor, it's dirty!" Tsuna exclaimed to Lambo, "Hmm? You have a Ring stuck to a place like this...!"
Lambo's ring was in his hair.
"I totally don't understand him! Why would an idiot like him get a ring?!" Gokudera was furious.
"C'mon, it's fine. He's safe anyways," Yamamoto reassured.
"Still, that was dangerous... I wonder what could've happened, "Tsuna then looked at me, "Ah! Nera-san, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"She was amazing! She took down one of the guys and had him in a death-grip!" The boy became excited.
"Fuuta?" Tsuna was shocked.
"HER?! She seemed pretty useless when we got here!" Gokudera protested.
"... Neh, Fuuta?" I smiled evilly at the boy, "Would you like me to show you that trick I did before?"
"Yeah!" Both Lambo and Fuuta agreed.
I smiled and then smirked evilly at Gokudera.
"O-Oi, kora, what's with the face...?"
I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.
"! He's coming..." Reborn said, but I was too involved in wanting to pin Gokudera that I just proceeded with my plans.
Gokudera didn't realize what Reborn said, either, but everyone else tensed up as someone came down over the trees. I didn't notice what he looked like, nor did I listen to what he said. But five more figures came down over the trees while I was about to put Gokudera in a death-grip.
Gokudera felt threatened, so he tried to punch me with his right hand. I caught his fist with my left, twisted it downward, and did a hand plant with my right. Still holding on to his fist, I wrapped my legs around his neck and pulled, causing us to both flip over onto our backs.
*BAM*
We landed with a thud.
With my legs still wrapped around his neck, I pulled at his right arm. Gokudera was now in my deadlock.
"What was that!?" Tsuna looked around and saw me strangling Gokudera, "Na- Nera-san! What are you doing?! Please, stop!"
"Nyaagghhh!" Gokudera protested in pain.
"So, what was that comment you made? I'm useless? Is that it?" I pulled tighter.
"Oi, Nera! Calm down," Ryohei and Yamamoto ran up to me and pulled me away from Gokudera.
"..hah... Hah... Hah... What the hell?!" Gokudera was furious.
"You mad, bro?" I smiled triumphantly.
"VVVOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII!"
"I think I just went deaf..." I complained.
"Vvooiii! We're in the middle of something here! We're deciding whether or not to skewer you!" A man with long white hair shouted as he held up his sword, "So which of you is the wielder of the Rain?!"
"I am." Yamamoto was serious.
"Three seconds. I'll skewer you in three seconds!"
"Move." A man with black spiky hair and a buzz cut placed a hand on the long haired's shoulder and pushed him aside.
"It's him... Xanxus. I'd never thought the day would come where I would see him again..." Reborn said.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi..." His hand started glowing.
"Run!" Reborn exclaimed.
"Wait Boss! Are you planning to use that now!?"
"You're going to kill us all!"
Everyone became tense and Tsuna fell to the floor in terror. Without thinking, I ran in front of Tsuna and starred Xanxus down.
"Nera-san?!" Tsuna was shocked.
"Baka~Onna!"
"Alice!"
Everyone, even Xanxus's little minions were terrified, even Reborn, but somehow I was the only one who was not afraid. In fact, I don't know why, but I was... Smiling at Xanxus; challenging him.
"VVVOOOOIIIIIIII! You stupid girl, what are you doing?!" The long-haired was astonished at my actions.
"My job. I'm a Guardian after all. Surely you would understand that." I said.
"Ushi shi shi. She's either really stupid, or she's got guts." I looked at the tiara wearing blonde.
"Judging by her skills and strength we witnessed earlier, I wonder if she's their Cloud Guardian..." The hoodie wearing baby said.
"Cloud? I'm not Cloud."
The whole Varia was surprised at this.
"Ushi shi shi. Then I hope you're Storm. You'd be interesting to fight," He smiled at me.
"Enough..." Everyone looked at Xanxus, "DIE!"
*CLING*
A pickax landed at Xanxus's feet.
We all looked in the direction it originated.
"Hold it Xanxus. That's enough."
"Wha...? He's..." Gokudera was speechless.
"We're saved?" Tsuna was panting.
"From here on, I'll be in charge of things."
"Iemitsu." Xanxus said the name with such distaste.
"You... What are you doing here?!" The long haired just doesn't know how to talk quietly...
"Dad!?" He's Tsuna's dad?
"J-Juudaime's father!?" Gokudera was just as surprised.
"Xanxus, is one of your minions planning to lift up their sword against me, the External Advisor?" Iemitsu said.
The two glared at each other.
"Such a violent atmosphere..." I said to no one in particular.
"Don't stick your comments in now, Iemitsu! You're the wuss that can do nothing but run away!" the long-haired said.
"That's not-" A boy about Tsuna's age interjected.
"Wait, Basil." Iemistu reassured, "I wasn't running. I was waiting for the Ninth's answer. I was questioning the way you've been handling things, along with the Ninth's approval. So, I sent messages to the Ninth with some significant questions. And an order that I presume is his reply, has just arrived."
"I don't understand what's going on- Why Dad?!" Tsuna was utterly confused.
"The External Advisor. That's his job in the Vongola," Reborn stated, "He's a Vongola, but at the same time, he's not. He's not involved during regular times, but in a state of an emergency, he has the authority as the the Number 02 figure, after the Boss."
"What? Dad is the Number 02!?"
"And the External Advisor has the same voting power to choose the next heir. In other words, the authority to give the Half Vongola Rings to the heir."
"Half Vongola Rings?" I asked.
"Oh, that's right, I didn't mention that part to you. The Half Vongola Rings are only part of the 7 types I mentioned. When joined together, they create the Vongola Ring which is proof of inheritance," Reborn explained.
"That's why they're so oddly shaped," Tsuna concluded.
"They are?" I looked at Tsuna's Ring and then at mine, "Mine looks whole, though."
"That's because there is no other person to fill your position and so the External Advisor and the Ninth agreed to have you the-... THAT Guardian."
I knew Reborn was trying to not give away my position, he was being vague. I assume he doesn't want the Varia to know who I am.
"Heh? What Guardian could she be if we have a full set of the Half-Rings...?" The long haired became puzzled at this.
I looked at Reborn; everyone else looked at me.
"Wait- You're not the Mist Guardian?!" Gokudera asked me in shock.
"..." I remained silent.
"You thought she was Mist?" Yamamoto asked Gokudera.
"Well, Yeah! We already know who our Cloud and Thunder is, now. The other positions are already filled, so all that's left is Mist. But, she has a whole Ring while their Mist Guardian only has half, so what is she?!" Gokudera explained.
"Don't worry about it. Right now, we need to worry about THEM." Reborn said hiding under his hat.
"Sawada-dono, these are direct orders from the Ninth," Basil said as he handed Tsuna a scroll.
"Direct orders...?" Tsuna took the scroll and unrolled it and an orange flame appeared, "A dying will flame!?"
"That's the Ninth's stamp of dying will flame. There's no mistake, that's a real order," The hooded baby said.
"It's written in Italian, I can't read it." Tsuna said.
"I will translate," Iemitsu began to translate, "Until now, I thought that the one worthy to become the heir was Iemitsu's son, Sawada Tsunayoshi, and so I compelled to that. However, lately, because I am nearing the end of my life, my intuitions became sharp, and I've decided to select an heir whom of which is more worthy. My son, Xanxus, is the one worthy enough to be the Tenth."
"He's the Ninth's son!?" Tsuna was astonished.
"However, there will be people who aren't satisfied with the change," Iemitsu continued, "Currently, Iemitsu has refused to give Xanxus the Rings. However, I do not intend to have a battle between my own family members. So, let us start the traditional Vongola battle to satisfy everyone. ...So, this is what that means... Those who wield the same type of Ring, will fight a one-on-one battle."
"What!? A one-on-one battle between those who have the same Ring type!?" Tsuna exclaimed.
"It just says to await for further instructions."
"Thank you for waiting." Two pink haired twins appeared, "We will serve as the judges of the scramble battle for the rings."
Everyone was stunned to see them.
"We are the Cervello Organization serving directly under the Ninth," One of the twins said as she held up a paper with the dying will flame on it, "Please consider our decisions for the scramble battle for the rings as the Ninth's decision. Do you have any objections, Xanxus-sama?"
He remained silent.
"Thank you very much."
I started zoning out for a bit, wondering about what will happen if the Varia finds out about me. Then I remembered I needed to listen to the pink annoyances.
"-In this battle, the one worthy to wield the ring, will prove it with their lives," She continued.
'Wow- what did I miss?'
"The location is Namimori~ Chuu at midnight. Further details will be given then. We shall await you at eleven p.m. at Namimori Chuu. Goodbye." They then jumped away.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Tsuna yelled after them but they were already gone.
Xanxus glad at Tsuna, causing him to fall, and then walked off. After the Varia left, I decided to leave as well so that I wouldn't get bombarded with questions about my Ring Type.
I returned home and scoped out the area.
'It seems Hibari isn't home, yet. He must still be trying to bite Dino to death.' I thought to myself.
I went to my room and changed into pajamas. I laid down on my bed and wondered who would fight first tomorrow. I, then, drifted off to sleep.
Sorry if the ending wasn't the best. I wasn't sure how to end it :P
Let me know what you think in a review. Tell me your favorite part and (or) favorite quote.
