Chapter 7: 8th Form – Autumn Rain
Squalo smirked, "You've showed me number one all the way through to number seven. Is that all you've got?"
Jun gritted his teeth and a sweat drop trickled down his face. "Fine, if that's what you want." Unexpectedly, Jun smirked, "This is the ultimate form, with this I'll take you down."
"You seem to have more confidence in that more than any other form," Squalo frowned.
"Yeah," Jun chuckled, "you'll see why soon enough." Jun positioned his katana at his side pointing directly behind him. He slid his hand back on the hilt and held the rest of it with his other. The rain began to pour down harder on his back, his blood mixed with the rain water and dripped on to the concrete path in front of the shrine.
Squalo waited until Jun smirked and then darted towards him, his body lowered as he ran while he said the words, "Shigure Soen Ryu 8th form – Aki Ame." Suddenly, Jun let one hand go of the katana and then dived forward with the sword in his hand. Squalo took a step back as Jun attacked with the katana in his hand like a kunai knife. Squalo quickly dropped to his knees and then slashed straight at Jun.
Dino sat up in his bed and looked towards his bedside table. On top of it was the pink and blue mobile phone that belonged to his dear friend. "Can't sleep, Dino?" He heard Reborn say while lying on the hammock tied to his coat hanger and the pole connected to Dino's bed.
"Yeah….I don't know if Squalo's going to be at Vongola HQ for the party."
"You never know," Reborn said, "life always has its surprises."
Dino slowly nodded and then stared into space after Reborn lied back down in his hammock.
Squalo put his sword back into his sheath as Jun fell to his knees with a splash and coughed out small puddles of blood on to the concrete. Jun looked up at Squalo standing over him and pulled off a small smile, "You're strong."
"I crushed your so called invincible sword style, of course I'm strong," Squalo had to hold back his arrogant laugh.
"But just remember this, the Shigure Soen Style has always been perfect and is second to none." Jun's eyes slowly closed and he fell on his stomach in the rain at Squalo's feet.
Xanxus stood inside the 9th's office with a diary in his hands and his eyes wide open with shock and disbelief. His gritted his teeth to the point it hurt. His hands gripped the side of the diary until little by little the pages began to rip. He breathed heavily with anger and fury. He ran his fingers through his hair and looked back into the past, into his memories.
Xanxus' mother looked at her son's right hand cupping the bright yellow and round flame, the flame known as the Flame of Wrath. Her eyes widened with surprise and hope, "There's no mistake...that flame! You must be my child by the Vongola Family's 9th!" His mother said.
Xanxus stared at her with a confused look on his face, "Vongola Family?" he asked.
"Yes! The world's strongest mafia family! You're the organization's sole heir! "
It was almost too good to be true. Xanxus, a poor street rat destined to be the next boss of the most powerful mafia family. He clung on to his mother's words.
…
"This son is ours," Xanxus' mother had said to the 9th. "He's the 10th who will succeed the 9th. That's why I used 'X', which represents 10, and named him Xanxus."
Xanxus slightly raised his hand and revealed his Flame of Wrath. The 9th watched it glow in his palm and then smiled. "That is the Vongola's Dying Will flame." Removing his scarf, the 9th kneeled down on level with Xanxus and wrapped the red scarf around Xanxus' neck. "There's no mistake," he nodded, "you are my son."
He stretched his arm out and waved all the books, lamps and everything off the edge of the table. "I am inferior to that trash!? That old man! He had no intention of making me his successor! How dare he call me 'son'! He betrayed me!"
Ok so this chapter was a little shorter than usual because it seriously took me AGES to figure out the 8th form – Autumn Rain. This was the best I could do with that….
And I know with the bits with Xanxus reading the diary and also the flashbacks wasn't the actual dialogue. But it was close enough right? Anyway, only 11 days until Christmas! For my time zone anyway….some of you guys are from US right? So that would make 12 days until Christmas right? :D
UPDATE: So I just picked a random episode of KHR to watch and then it happened to have that scene in it. So I just changed it. (23/12/12)
