Aim 7: Back home
Here guys as I promised chapter 7. Enjoy! Forgive my spelling and grammar errors.
Disclaimer: Same as chapter 1.
Last time: "Your current mission is to travel ten years back, to the aftermath of the battle for the rings, and draw out the true power of the Vongola rings before returning here." "The true power of the Vongola rings…" tsuna looked at his ring." In order to defeat byakuran-san….that's why you are returning here for now. All of you need to resolve yourselves."
Everyone was back in the Melone Base awaiting to be transported to the past in order to complete the Acrobaleno trials." Were you able to relax a bit?" shouichi asked the group. Everyone nodded. Tsuna looked back and noticed that hibari was there, he breathed a sigh of relief. Alena was among the people there standing close to hibari which strangely he didn't seem to mind.*I'm so thankful kyoko and haru let me borrow some clothes, my uniform was dirty.*"Shouichi. I'm finished with the final checks. Everything looks to be in order." Spanner stated." Thanks, spanner." "I know I've already said this, but please don't reveal anything about the future while in the past." Shouichi turned to alena." Oh and alena don't mention anything about your world as well."
Alena nodded." Okay I'll make sure nothing slips shou-chan." "A few months have passed since you came to the future, but between Tsunayoshi Sawada and Ryohei Sasagawa's arrival only three days have elapsed in the past." *three days? Really?* *I wonder how long I've been gone in my world?* "I'm sure you'll be thrown off by the difference, but I need you to use the story that you were on a picnic and got lost and alena helped you find your way out. That should provide enough cover." Shouichi explained." The Arcobaleno Trials will last one week. I'll make preparations for your return here." *one week….* "Understood? I don't mean to frighten you, but you must clear the trials within one week. If you don't obtain all seven seals within that time, the seals you do have will become invalid and our hope to defeat byakuran-san will be lost."
"This is a big gamble, but we have no choice but to count on you." *we have no choice but to do this.* tsuna's expression was serious but quickly changed when he heard lambo's laughter." Here I am!" lambo shouted." Lambo! Stop running around!" Kyoko and haru both emerged from the room they were currently at." Sorry to make you wait. Everyone's here now. Are you all ready then?" "Y-Yes." Tsuna looked at the others in confirmation that they were ready, his gaze stopped at yamamoto whose expression was serious.*yamamoto?* tsuna wondered about his demeanor but realized that yamamoto knew his father was killed in the future.*that's right yamamoto is returning to the past with that knowledge…* Alena went over to yamamoto." Yamamoto….ummm…your dad.." she started to say but yamamoto cut her off."It's fine. I don't know how much time we'll have together, but I'll try to be a good son." Alena went silent." All right, let's send you on your way. Spanner." "Roger that." Spanner typed on the computer and the device began to glow and soon everyone started to glow as well. Soon everyone was transported back to the past leaving shouichi, kusakabe and spanner alone." They're gone." "Yeah…Everyone….good luck."
((((((((((((((((((((((((Line Break))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The place everybody got transported to was Namimori's shopping district however as they kept walking, they became wary if this Namimori was the one in the past. Alena was amused that she was in Namimori but confused of what everything said so she stayed close to hibari." This place is…." "Are we really back?" Tsuna's question wasn't answered as hibari walked away from the crew to go to namimiddle." Hibari-san don't go. I don't know my way around here, I can't even read the signs." Alena pleaded with hibari but hibari kept on walking." Hibari-san!" Alena shouted at hibari but didn't go after him, she was a little nervous of getting lost while trying to catch up to him.
*you're so mean hibari-san.* "Man, he's hopeless." "Huh? Where's chrome-chan?" kyoko asked as she took noticed that chrome wasn't there." She disappeared when we weren't looking!" Alena sat on the ground completely sad by hibari's actions. Tsuna saw alena and tried to cheer her up."Ummm, Alena why don't you stay at my place?" Alena looked at tsuna and shook her head." Thanks tsuna but I don't want to be a bother to you when you already have a lot of people living with you." Alena declined the offer." How about my place? You wouldn't be bothering at all." Yamamoto offered. Alena thought about it.* I could stay with yamamoto I mean its only one week. I couldn't stay with Gokudera, we don't exactly get along well, ryohei and kyoko is a no, I want to sleep peacefully and not with haru, she'll just start talking about tsuna non-stop and force me into costumes. Yep yamamoto seems like the perfect choice.* "I accept your offer yamamoto." "Boss!" Gokudera got tsuna's attention."What is it, Gokudera-kun?" "Please look over there."
Gokudera pointed to a sign that read "parking lot entrance for Namimori Underground shopping mall construction site"." That'd be…Where the Melone Base will be in the future?" "It isn't finished yet." "Which means this is definitely good old Namimori from ten years ago!" Tsuna exclaimed happily. Everyone walked back to their houses in a group and Yamamoto's house was the first to be seen."We'll see you later then." "See you tsuna." "Y-Yeah…" Yamamoto smiled reassuringly."Don't worry tsuna. See ya." Yamamoto opened the door and went inside with alena following."Don't worry tsuna, I'll make sure yamamoto is okay." The door closed and alena followed yamamoto inside the house.
Yamamoto saw his father chopping."P-Pops I'm home." "Don't give me that! Where were you the past three days?" Yamamoto's dad asked yamamoto not knowing that alena was there because she was covered by yamamoto's height." Forget it. We have a big group today. Give me a hand." *should I say something? The atmosphere is quite thick.* Alena fidgeted with her hands. Yamamoto forgot about alena and agreed to his father's proposal." Yeah, you can count on me!" He walked to help his father when he suddenly remembered alena however his father spotted alena."Hello are you a costumer?" Alena started to blush madly."N-No, y-yamamoto said I c-could stay h-here. I-Is that o-okay with you s-sir?" Alena managed to say. Yamamoto's father raised a brow but didn't press on, he had a feeling that alena was involved with whatever his son was in." Sure young lady. May I ask your name?" "Alena." "Takeshi show alena to the guest room then help me with the food." Yamamoto smiled."Sure pops. Come with me alena." Alena trailed yamamoto.(A/N: I have no idea of yamamoto's house looks like except for the sushi area and the dojo so I will have to make it up.)
"Here's the guest room, your bedroom is next to mine's so don't hesitate to ask me anything." "Thank you yamamoto." The room was quite bland: white walls, green curtains, a desk, a bed with light blue bedding, a mirror in one corner of the room and a closet." This room sure is different than the one I have at home." Alena wondered around, taking in how different the room was compared to her pink room in her world. Alena stopped when she reached the mirror and saw how different she appeared."I just spotted something, we both look alike." Yamamoto's sentence seemed to interrupt alena's thoughts and caused her to turn around to see yamamoto right behind her." Look we both have black hair, we both have brown that are the exact shade, we have the exact skin-tone and we act alike. Your also the same age as me, you could be my twin sister." Alena couldn't help but agree with that, she did look a bit like yamamoto." I got to go help pops now." "Alright."
(((((((((((((((((((Line Break)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
When yamamoto was done helping his father, he got alena and proceeded to go to tsuna's house." Yamamoto did you have good quality time with your dad?" alena asked. Yamamoto smiled." Yep." "That's good." * He makes think of my father, I really miss him and my family.* The two had arrived at the front door and knocked." Oh, yamamoto-kun welcome." Alena introduced herself to nana and went inside. Gokudera was there as well and it seemed that reborn was explaining something." Yo tsuna." "Yamamoto. Alena." Tsuna said." Oh, Gokudera's here too?" "Of course since I'm the boss's right hand man!" Gokudera angrily exclaimed. Yamamoto and alena went in tsuna's room." I see your talking about the arcobaleno trials." Alena sat down on tsuna's floor along with yamamoto." Yeah." "It's convenient that yamamoto and alena are here too. I'll continue now." Reborn continued about the arcobaleno and everyone listened." Next would be the illusionist belonging to the independent assassination squad, the varia Mammon. His real name is Viper. He was a first-class psychic to begin with, he then added illusions to his repertoire. Yamamoto knows first-hand the difficulty in fighting illusions." Yamamoto had tensed up as he recalled his fight with Genkishi. "Mukuro came to our aid before but we don't know what will happen next time."
"I think I can see the illusions." Alena shyly uttered but no one heard her." There are still three more. First would be the martial arts master, Fon. He's so strong that he's been champion of the top martial arts tournament in China for three years running." Alena let out a faint blush at remembering Fon's adult form." Next would be the mad scientist, Verde. His knowledge and skill as a scientist are top-class in this time. The last is Luche, who possesses a mysterious power of insight." *the Arcobaleno of Sky is missing right now, though.* "Got all that? None of them will be easy opponents plus they each have strong special techniques." The boys was surprised and asked what the special techniques would be but reborn did not answer them." You guys have to wait until the fight and I'll help out as well."
"Actually alena you will stay here." Alena looked at reborn in puzzlement." Why?" "You are not part of the family and you do not know how to fight. And don't forget tsuna, I'm an Arcobaleno too." Reborn got up from the bed and exited the room." R-Reborn! Wh-What do we do? Are we going to be okay?" "Tsuna, worrying won't get us anywhere." Yamamoto reassured."Yamamoto's right! Everything will work out if we all work together even if I'm not in the fight." "That's how we've managed to make it so far." Yamamoto finished alena's sentence." B-Bastard…That's what I was going to say." "Gokudera-kun….Yamamoto-kun….Alena.." Tsuna's face showed pure relief at his friends' words." We're absolutely going to clear these trials, boss! The fate of the future rests on us!" "Yeah!" Tsuna and the others were not aware of the figure that was on top of tsuna's roof.
I hope you like this chapter the next one will really be the Arcobaleno Trials and here's a spoiler for next chapter: Alena will learn to wield a weapon by someone( I won't tell you because I don't know yet.) and start to realize about a 8th flame. The scene with yamamoto and alena in the room might seem weird but bear with me now, i have something planned. Oh and sorry that I didn't update of Monday. See you next chapter!
