Hibari refused to return to his human form in front of Giotto and stormed off the room after the other guardians arrived.
Ryohei was the last one standing inside the room. Yamamoto and Gokudera were back to their human form, both of them currently receiving the invisible sun flames that emitted from Ryohei's body.
Giotto lay breathless on the floor. He never thought that the Wolves of Underworld can be this strong.
That day, he knew that he was conceited.
Chapter 7: Bovino Pack and Miura Clan.
"I can still..." Giotto stubbornly tried to get up. He has been, and will always be like this: a persistent fool—as his people called him. Giotto grimaced when his left arm gave him immeasurable pain. He knew that it probably had a broken bone or something. However, he refused to give up the fight against the wolves.
Sereno shot a glare at his direction. "You extremely want to be killed, huh? Giotto Vongola," the white-furred wolf growled as he stepped out off his thin flame barrier.
Just before he could roar though, an unexpected figure barged inside the classroom. "Don't kill him, Onii-san!" The vampire prince came, panting.
His eyes were unfocused, but he still ran to Ryohei's side. "Are you okay?" cried Tsuna as he buried his head on Ryohei's furry neck. "Sereno? P-please be okay!"
'Tsuna must've tripped on his way here,' Ryohei thought. His face was bruised and he was bleeding. Sereno instinctively licked his wounds, sharing his sun-flame property.
"T-tenth... He tried to harm you. Why... can't we kill him?" Gokudera asked with short breaths in between due to exhaustion.
Tsuna quietly shook his head. "Giotto Vongola... He was the one who saved the late Princess of Miura clan. Do you remember a-about her?" Tsuna asked, stammering.
Giotto narrowed his eyes on the vampire prince. "Miura clan...?" Giotto muttered.
"Tsuna, Miura clan was..." Yamamoto is unable to continue his sentence.
"Miura clan was destroyed by the 'other kind', Yamamoto..." Tsuna looked down as he remembered what his Mist Guardians told him. He couldn't meet his wolves' gazes. He knew he'd break down if he did.
"Boss," Chrome's eye held a sad glint in them. The Miura Clan and Bovino Pack was the last place they could've guessed to find the last wolf. "The last wolf of the underworld... Fulmine... He lives in Miura clan's ruins. He was part of Bovino pack."
"Kufufu, he was rather unreachable, wasn't he?" Mukuro chuckled as he sat down a chair, crossing his legs. "My sweet Chrome and I had a hard time tracing him."
"B-but..." Tsuna said while stammering, "Bovino pack served Miura clan." Tsuna absently said, "He probably won't be serving me. I-I guess..."
Dino looked back and forth the vampire and wolves. "Hey, what're you guys talking about? Don't leave me out!"
"D-Dino-san... we are talking about another vampire clan..." explained Tsuna. "The Miura Clan was like us," he said solemnly. "We shared a strong belief about how we shouldn't prey brutally o-on humans."
"How come we, the hunters, haven't heard of them?" Dino asked curiously.
Chrome clenched her trident harder. "Because they're gone... killed brutally by the 'other kind'."
Dino looked at them confused. "Who are these 'other kind' you guys keep talking about?"
The three of them stared to Dino with different expressions. Isn't he a hunter? Shouldn't they have information about these things already? Should they tell him or not?
Deciding that they couldn't lose anything by doing so, Mukuro explained it to the hunter. "They're the Phlegm. You may call them bloodsuckers in layman's term. They're vampires who gave up their sanity in order to attain pleasure in drinking blood. They're purely instinctive beasts now."
Tsuna turned pale when he remembered one very important detail. "What's wrong, Tsuna?" Dino asked worriedly.
"Miura Haru, my former fiancée. She was once saved by a hunter named... Giotto Vongola!" exclaimed Tsuna ran as fast as he could to the classroom where his wolves were fighting.
-5 years ago, when Miura clan still existed.-
"Lambo-chan~~! I heard you got a wolf gene! Underworld one at that! Wow, that's so awesome!" Miura Haru, Princess of the Miura clan exclaimed excitedly.
Lambo scratched the back of his head while he tried to hide the blush already forming in his face."It's nothing, young Miura-hime."
"It's something to be celebrated!" Haru exclaimed again. "But..." Haru's expression became a depressed one, "I'm so happy to have an Underworld wolf at my service. However... I'm going to die soon." She smiled sadly at other.
Those words struck Lambo's nerve. "What do you mean, young Miura-hime?" He asked.
"I want you to pledge your allegiance to my... fiancée. His name is Sawada Tsunayoshi." She smiled as she mentioned the name of the one she loved.
"I won't! I only serve you, Miura-hime!" Lambo stubbornly shook his head.
Her eyes glistening with tears, "Please, Lambo-chan?" Haru asked once more.
Lambo couldn't refuse her. He never forgave himself whenever Haru cried in front of him- especially if he was the reason. "I'll do as you say, but I won't leave your side unless you're..." Lambo cried. He couldn't say the word. He never wants to see Haru like that at all. Never in his wildest dream had he thought it could happen.
"Lambo-chan, show me... Please?" Haru asked as tears started to form in her eyes.
Lambo nodded, staring at the ground. He refused to see Haru's face while tears streamed down both their faces. He muttered, "Fulmine, Cambio Forma." He transformed into a light-green wolf, sparks of electricity surrounding him.
"You look so... beautiful, Lambo-chan," Haru praised him, smiling sadly as she tried to brush her tears off.
"I pledge my allegiance as the Fulmine wolf, to Sawada Tsunayoshi, of the Sawada clan," said Lambo with a sad tone.
"Thank you, Lambo-chan," Haru hugged him, and cried on his soft fur, muttering thanks all the way.
All right!
Thank you for Solera and Crythos who amazingly bring out the teary moment between Haru and Lambo (I cried in the middle of the night XD)
Please review! ;D
