CHAPTER 6- The Appearance of Yuki
Tsuna's POV:
"Tsuna…time to wake up…it's already morning", a voice said as the window blinds are opened to let the sun rays enter the room.
"Fifteen more minutes…", I said and I was greeted by smack in the head.
"Huhuhu…why did you do that…Akira…", I said while the suspect was grinning at the far corner.
"Tsuna…it's morning you know…I know you were tired of yesterday's ordeal…but do you remember what will happen today?"
"Hmmm? It's November 4 right?" I said as I thought about what will happen today. "November 4…November 4…No…NOVEMBER 4?" I said and immediately hopped out of the bed and quickly took a bath and packed some clothes in a bag.
"Did you finally remember that you were supposed to have 5 interviews today…4 photoshoots…and arrive here in the Vongola Mansion?"
"I'm sorry…", I said and continued to hurriedly prepare the things I need for the whole day.
"We'll go with you…we need to go to a TV segment together…all the 36 members of STARS", Mikaela said. "The others are already there…so we have to go"
"But…won't the others be suspicious if Tsuna comes with us?" Eli asked.
"Don't worry we will be going out separately…I told Reborn-sama and Luce-sama that the producer wanted to see Tsuna…", Mikaela said. "Here is the plan…Tsuna…you go out from the back door…the producer is already there waiting for you…your clothes are there…you need to dress up as Yuki before you arrive at the station. We will be exiting through the front door where a limousine prepared by the Vongola for our use is waiting",
"Then…I'll be going now", I said and hurriedly went down to the first floor of the mansion and to the back door. True enough, there is a van and inside it is the producer carelessly waving his hand out of the window.
"TSUNA! I miss you!", the producer happily said and ushered me to the passenger seat of the van."It's been a while"
"It's only been two weeks producer…you and the others are no different from each other", I said and the producer started to drive to the station.
"But…Yuki…things are really not the same without you…during practices…the center is really empty and dark", the producer said. "Ah by the way…you can dress at the back"
"Fine…fine…", I replied and hurried to the van's dressing room and looked for a nice dress.
I then clasped my necklace with a single orange stone and in a few seconds it glowed.
"Tsuna…3 minutes more", the producer reminded and I willed myself to transform.
Well…I can't really explain the stone for now…but once I summon its magic I can turn into a real girl…and be Yuki.
"I'm ready then…are the others already on the way?" I asked and went back to the passenger seat.
"Yes…Diana just contacted me…anyway…that's a nice choice of dress you came up with…Yuki"
"Yup…it's an interview after all…", I immediately replied.
"Are you worried…about the remaining days…?"
"Day after day…my life is becoming shorter…before I knew it…more than 2 weeks have already passed", I said and looked at the scenery outside. Well what greeted me was a traffic jam.
"Did you already decide what to do? Do you plan to coop yourself in the Vongola Mansion without talking to the others?"
"How did you know…about that thing?" I said and glared at him and the producer chuckled.
"Knowing you…I can guess it easily…you haven't really changed…since you joined STARS two years ago", the producer said and we finally reached the station."Yuki…I mean Tsuna…to live the life you've always wanted, you must confront the issues you've always avoided"
"I know…it's just that…the thing from 2 years ago…still remains today", I replied and we made our way to the studio where the program will be recorded.
"Then…what about using your other self then…the one that the others seemed interested in", the producer said and winked before he left.
"My other self…huh?" I said and began to walk my way towards the specific studio and waited for the others.
A long hour passed and we are finally finished filming the show…the hosts and other staff happily greeted us and as a surprise…we performed two songs which made them more excited.
"We are really…really happy to meet you…I hope we can work again sometime soon", the director and the hosts said as we parted ways. Mikaela and the others have to check the performance of the other members seeing that the concert is already tomorrow.
"So see you in the mansion…Yuki…",they said and made their way to the limousine.
"I'll be going then…", I said and hurriedly went to finish the jobs I have for the day.
Four long hours finally ended…and I was finally free for the day…and seeing that tomorrow is our concert and surely will be hectic…I decided to freely explore the mansion…secretly.
Giotto's POV:
Things were…quiet peaceful inside the Mansion…it's a pretty normal day…but with the usual bickering…glaring…and running all over the place. Yup…it's a pretty normal day. Well things are pretty normal until….a loud alarm rang in the whole mansion.
"Decimo…we have sighted some spies from the Nemico Famiglia…what are your orders?" the voice of the commander echoed inside my room from a speaker.
"Don't cause too much panic…make sure to keep things at the minimum…but make sure to catch them and bring them to Kyoya and Alaude. They told me they were quite bored these days…", I said and the commander laughed in reply.
"Are you already rubbed with the sadistic streaks of your Guardians and the Arcobalenos..Decimo?"
` "To keep my sanity for all those years…yes", I replied and turned to the huge piles and stacks of paperwork covering the floor of my office.
"Well then…we'll do our best then…the Cloud users seems to cause ruckus if they are too much bored", the commander said and ended his call.
Well…for the meantime I'll take a break…I can easily finish these paperworks overnight…but for now…I guess I'll have to sleep…it's been too long since the mansion has become lively just like in the past…I said and opened the locked drawer under my table and took out a picture frame.
"The past huh?" I said and looked at the frame where there is a picture of a 16 year old me sleeping with a 14 year old Tsuna…while we held hands together..
Well we were at the beach that day with the others and well…Tsuna almost drowned when a huge wave covered him. He was having swimming lessons when that happened and just learned it the first time…so he doesn't really know how to swim around.
At that time…we were all playing volleyball at our private beach and luckily Hibird, Kyoya's bird was with Tsuna and flew towards us to inform Tsuna was in danger.
Hurriedly…I swam towards the direction where we last saw Tsuna and saw him sinking down and passed out…I grabbed one of his arm and hurriedly swam back to the shore where the others are waiting.
We then went back to the rest house and placed Tsuna on his bedroom and stayed there by his side and I clasped our hands together.
"Gio?", Tsuna weakly said and I cupped his face and caressed the bangs on his forehead.
"Hmm…?" I asked with a soft smile on my face.
"I'm sorry…I made you all worry again…" Tsuna said with a pout on his face.
"Well…we did panic…but…when it comes to you…we really become overprotective…", I replied and lied down on the bed. Instinctively, Tsuna scooted closer towards me and I held him loosely.
"Uhm…and also…thank you for letting me come with you to the beach…I really had a lots and lots of fun", Tsuna said with a smile on his face. "I'd like to come back again and again"
"Alright…what about we come here every summer?", I asked and I was awarded with a tight hug coming from the person I love so much.
"Really? Thank you…!", Tsuna said and rested his face on my chest.
"Anything for you…that's the price of stealing the heart of the Vongola Decimo you know…" I jokingly replied and I was awarded with a heavenly chuckle.
"Hmmm…that's why I always feel…like the luckiest person in the whole world…because I have you and the others by my side", Tsuna replied and a yawn escaped from his lips.
"You should go back to sleep Tsuna…", I said and Tsuna slowly closed his eyes.
"Giotto…what….what if you are told to be engaged to another woman…what will you do?"
"Hmmm…if that happens…maybe I'll abandon my position?"I replied and carefully thought about Tsuna's question."If that happens…I'll do anything in my power to protect the Famiglia and of course still have you".
"You're really kind you know…but Giotto sometimes…choosing both will cause your destruction. Protecting and ensuring the safety of the family is your job as the Boss while doing what your heart says is your duty as a man", Tsuna said. "But…if that time comes…if you are going to get engaged to someone…I wonder what will happen to me", Tsuna sadly said as he nuzzled towards my chest.
"That's quite a serious talk you have Tsuna…", I replied and continued to stroke Tsuna's hair.
"If that time comes…I…I might die", Tsuna whispered and I hurriedly grabbed his face and looked at his eyes.
"What are you talking about Tsuna? That won't happen", I said in assurance.
I was awarded with a sad smile and a dainty palm on my cheek. "Gio…I'm nothing too special…I'm not pretty…I'm not strong…I'm poorer compared to the other girls you know…I'm clumsy…and will still be stupid if you didn't help me…but still you love me…that's why I consider myself very very very lucky…but when the time comes that my luck is already over…I can't imagine what I will do…I'm living now because I have you…the others…the whole Vongola Family…Luce-nee…and 's why if ever you leave me…I'll lose all right and passion to live"
"You were right back then Tsuna…it did happen", I whispered and placed the frame back to the drawer and the door immediately opened revealing my right hand man,G.
"Still thinking about him?" G asked me and I gave him a nod.
"I can't help…but remember the past…anyway…any news about the intruder attack?"
"Hmm…yup…4 are already captured…one is still on the loose", G said. "It would be better if you relax outside the office you know…besides…the girls are excited because Yuki is coming"
"Fine…I'll just finish this stack and I'll follow you to the Gaming Room", I said and started my task of signing the hundreds of papers.
Tsuna's POV:
While I was secretly going inside the Vongola Mansion..I doned a long cloak and covered my head with a hood.
"Waah…so there is also a butterfly garden here too?" I said as I entered a large greenhouse which houses many butterflies flying all over the place. Across it is a bird house too located in another greenhouse. Inside it…all the birds are flying over the air in groups, as I looked around…I saw one bird just sitting on the ground and sadly looking at the others. No wonder it can't fly…it's ankle was hurt and was carefully bandaged.
"Are you lonely little one?" I asked and slowly caress the bird's feathers."You know…I am…I'm all alone in this world…You know there is only one person in this world that I loved…and forever will love…but it is already too late", I said and placed the bird on a nearby branch and left the greenhouse.
After a few minutes I heard a rush of footsteps and 10 Vongola mafioso arrived.
"That person must be a spy…capture that one", the person which seems to be the captain said and two people held my arms and carried me to the direction of the mansion.
"You're all WRONG…I'm not a spy", I said and squirmed around making the mafioso's hold on me loosen and seeing it's my chance I ran towards the Mansion.
"Guards…stop her…she's a spy...!", the captain said and more guards blocked by path but I quicly evaded them."If you don't want to get hurt Miss…surrender now!"
"I told you…you've gotten it all wrong…I'M NOT A SPY" I shouted as I swiftly ran around hallways and corridors. If I can recall…this hallway leads to the Game Room.
"We've got a new games here you know…Daemon insisted on buying them", I heard the familiar voice of G said.
"STOP THERE! There's no other way out for you", the captain said and as I turned around the corner leading to the Game Room I saw a bow wielding Guardian and behind him…is Giotto.
I was quite surprised to see Giotto and G that I didn't realize that the guards are already holding both my arms towards my back.
"Decimo…Sir G…we have finally captured the last spy.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I AM NOT A SPY?!", I shouted at the guards and struggled to be out of their grasp. "LET GO OF ME"
"G…what happened…we heard a lot of noise….THE LAST SPY?" Kyoya and Alaude said and readied their weapons and were followed by the others each wielding their respective weapon. The four people that I was hoping to see finally showed up…each bringing some sweets.
"Mkaela, Akira, Diana,Eli…a little help here?" I said and the four widened their eyes and ran towards the direction of Giotto.
"Giotto-sama…can you release that person? She's innocent…she's not a spy…maybe the guards are just mistaken", Diana pleaded and Giotto motioned the guards to let go of me…I spent a minute massaging now my reddish arms caused by the tight grip of the guards.
"So…the four of you…care to explain to us why we have to let go of that person?" Francesca said as she scrutingly looked at me.
"You'll see….", Akira said and gave me a wink.
"Ah…I'm sorry to cause you a lot of trouble", I said and bowed down to the others. "Actually…I wanted to surprise you that's why I came earlier than planned", and with that I slowly took of the hood and was greeted with a loud scream.
"Nice to meet you…I'm Yuki…"
