Little sister's a badass! ^_^
"Will you please let me go." Camilla growled as her older sister Eloise refused to let go of her for the past 5 minutes!
Eloise rubbed against her cheek, "But I missed you!"
"I can see that, now let me go!" Camilla extracted herself away from the woman who pouted.
Armino wasn't doing any better with Ragna and Lace hugging him tightly, "P-Please let me go…"
Ragna pouted, "Your not happy to see us?"
"How mean." Lace pouted.
"Camilla-sama, please help me!" he cried.
"You brat, how many times do we have to tell you we're family! Enough with the formal crap!" Ragna complained.
"That's right! Honestly you guys are so stubborn." Lace agreed.
"But-!"
"No!" they said.
He deflated.
Armina sighed, "Let the boy go already, I feel bad for him."
Bellona hugged Camilla, "Cami-neechan, welcome home!"
She smiled and rubbed her head, "I'm home kiddo."
Gunther crossed his arms, "And where have you bee young lady? Were you hanging out with boys?"
"Oh give it a rest already, brother. So what if she's hanging out with boys, she's at that age." Alaois sipped on his tea.
"WHAT?!" Gunther bellowed.
Camilla whacked him on the back of the head sending his head down to the ground, "I have neighbors, so I would appreciate it if you would shut up."
Bellona giggled, "Big brother's funny."
"You mean annoying." Akin corrected.
The elderly man chuckled, "It's so nice to have all of my family here."
"Don't be so dramatic grandpa Agro." Ragna rolled her eyes.
Agro simply chuckled at his grandchildren, "Camilla, have you made any friends?"
She sighed and sat down with Bellona in her lap, "Yes I have, and three of them are boys."
Gunther looked ready to blow up but Ragna and Lace slapped the back of his head.
"So the brat has friends…I think it might rain tomorrow." Ragna smirked.
"Bite me." Camilla glared.
"Now now, try to get along you two." Akin sighed.
"Ragna, stop picking on Camilla." Armina scolded.
"I can't help myself, the brat didn't even bother to contact us at all while she was here so I'm getting some payback." She grinned.
"Grow up." Armina and Akin deadpanned.
She stuck her tongue out at them.
"Hey Cami-neechan, can I meet your friends?" Bellona asked cutely with her long red hair with two braided strands.
"Maybe, we'll see."
Her siblings smirked making her flinch, 'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'
I had the urge to scream my head off or kill something! Not only did those jerks make me babysit, but to take a nice long hike up a mountain?! What the hell are they thinking?!
Armino noticed my mood, "Um, Camilla-sama…are you okay?"
I grit my teeth, "Oh yeah I'm fine, I'm just thinking about how to kill my siblings and get away with it."
"You mustn't!" he protested.
Bellona tugged on my sleeve, "Cami-neechan, are you sick?"
Looking down at that sweet face of hers I couldn't stay mad. Bending down I rubbed her head, "I'm not mad, just a little annoyed. Come on, let's go explore."
"Yay!" she cheered.
I stood up and looked around, "That looks safe to explore."
"It does, shall we?" Armino suggested.
"Explore!" Bellona smiled.
She's just so cute.
Walking in the direction they decided for us we began walking and I looked around to see if there were any animals around and so far we haven't seen any…yet.
We walked around for what felt like hours until we finally found a river, "Good, we can drink from here."
"The water's safe, I don't sense anything wrong with it." Armino added.
Bellona took a sip from the water then smiled, "Yummy!"
"Water doesn't have flavor, Bell." I pointed out.
She kept smiling, "Still tastes good."
"So I see," I smiled then walked over by Armino, "You sense them too, right?" I muttered lowly.
"There's 15 of them." He muttered back.
Being discreet I turned my head a little not to arouse any suspicion that I knew we were being watched, 'Still, this place feels familiar somehow…was this in the anime?' my eyes widened as I heard three explosions go off.
"What was that?" Armino wondered.
"Was it a bomb?" Bellona asked.
I sweat-dropped, "No…its nothing like that at all."
'Now I remember. This is Death Mountain where Tsuna and the rest of them are. Another part of Reborn's special training. This will be a pain especially since we have some uninvited guests stalking us, but oh well.' I thought.
Taking a sip from the river, which was really clean, it was time to keep on walking, "Let's go."
"Yes." Armino nodded.
"Okay!" Bellona smiled holding my hand.
Walking through the mountain wasn't all that bad actually, if you count the wild animals we had to beat into submission but other than that it wasn't so bad. There were still the stalkers following after us, but they were more of a nuisance than anything else since they hadn't tried anything to us yet. We took another break and decided to eat, now that I think about it…how did this episode end again?
Elsewhere
Tsuna and the others were not having a good time at all. Not only did Dino break the bridge they were on but now they were in the middle of nowhere with no food or water!
"What are we gonna do?!" Tsuna yelled.
Reborn smirked, "Camilla should have come. She's an expert when it comes to mountains no matter how dangerous it is."
"Seriously?" Yamamoto blinked.
"Tch, just when we need her the most she's not here." Gokudera scowled.
"That's true." Dino laughed nervously.
"I'm going to survey our surroundings so we can survive." Reborn told them and took off.
"Yeah, lets enjoy ourselves." Yamamoto told Tsuna.
Tsuna nodded.
"Okay, let's go." Dino said.
They all followed after Dino, but Tsuna really did want Camilla to be with them right now.
With Camilla
I just sliced a giant spider in half with my hand and sighed, that was the third one that tried to eat us and it was starting to annoy me. My little sister had killed a giant snake, while Armino completely decimated a man-eating plant. Sweet Jesus who in the hell would willingly train up here? Looking up at the sky I noticed it was almost sunset but for some reason I had a bad feeling.
Damn I hate being right.
The morons that were stalking us suddenly lost interest and headed course elsewhere, where the hell could the be-crap Tsuna and the rest were here!
"Armino…Bell…its hunting time." I said.
Armino was surrounded in murderous aura, "Understood."
Bell grinned, "I get to beat up some bad guys."
I rolled my eyes these two are just too much sometimes.
With Tsuna & the Others
Tsuna sighed as he sat down on the ground, not only was Bianchi here but Kyoko, Haru, Lambo, and I-Pin were here too!
Bianchi sighed, "Honestly…"
Dino looked around, "It's about to be dark soon. We need to get a fire going. Too bad we don't have Camilla-chan here."
"Eh?" Kyoko looked at him.
"Reborn said that she's good with mountains." Dino said.
"Hahi! We need to find her!" Haru yelled.
"Cami-nee!" Lambo wailed.
Tsuna sighed, "She's not here, but we could really use her help right now."
"That's right." Yamamoto agreed.
Dino sighed; "Oh well, we might as well-" he was cut off as 15 black-cloaked covered individuals appeared out of nowhere.
"W-What?! Who are these guys?!" Tsuna yelled.
Kyoko and Haru huddled closer to Bianchi who got her poison cooking out, Reborn frowned at them. Where did they come from?
Yamamoto and Gokudera were near Tsuna as were the kids.
Dino got his whip out, "What's going on here? Reborn you know these guys?"
"No." Reborn got his gun out.
"Then who are they?" Tsuna questioned.
"Assassins." Reborn answered.
"Assassins?!" Tsuna yelled.
"How did they get up here?" Gokudera got his dynamite out.
Yamamoto got his bat ready.
The figures did nothing for a while before one finally made its move and suddenly disappeared taking them off guard.
"He's gone!" Gokudera exclaimed.
They looked around when they noticed the figure was behind Tsuna, "Tsuna!" Dino yelled.
"Juudaime! Tsuna!" Gokudera and Yamamoto yelled.
Tsuna slowly turned behind him and froze seeing the figure already had a blade out and was about to take his head off, 'I'm gonna die!' he closed his eyes but soon opened them when he heard a thump and saw the assassin on the ground unconscious.
"Eh? What happened?" Tsuna looked down, "Is that…a rock?"
Before anyone could answer his question some kunai appeared around three of the 15 assassins and electrocuted them making them cry out and drop to the ground. Now there are only 12 left.
"Hahi! What's going on?!" Haru yelled.
"Don't get your panties in a twist Haru, it's just us." A new voice said from above them sitting on a tree branch looking down at them along with someone else standing next to them. They recognized them both.
"Yo." Camilla greeted.
"Camilla-chan!" Tsuna, Kyoko, Yamamoto, Bianchi, Dino, and Haru yelled in happiness.
"Tch, what took you so long Asura?!" Gokudera yelled.
"Cami-nee!" Lambo and I-Pin smiled.
Reborn smirked, "Ciaossu, Camilla."
She smirked, "Sorry about this, they've been following us all day so we just ignored them," she gave the assassins a side glance making them flinch, "I didn't think they were stupid enough to attack you guys though."
Armino bowed, "Please forgive us for not dealing with these hooligans sooner everyone."
"It's fine, we're just glad you guys are here!" Tsuna smiled.
"I bet." She smirked and came down from the tree along with Armino, "Now then…I think you need to pay to trying to kill my friend just now, don't you think Armino?"
"I agree, Camilla-sama." Armino got his kunai out already sparkling with electricity.
The assassins came at them and they did the same worrying everyone.
"Camilla-chan!" Tsuna yelled.
"Don't." Reborn said sternly, "They can handle it."
Camilla took four on by herself slamming two of their heads into the ground, then charged at the other two, "Ashura, Daishi Youshiki: Aramu Rirī (Asura, Fourth Form: Arum Lily)." Slashing at them six times they cried out in pain and went down into unconsciousness.
Armino infused two kunai with blue electricity fighting with them like duel blades appearing in front of the four assassins he was facing off, "Denka (Electric Charge)!" swinging in a circular motion all four went down having been electrocuted into unconsciousness.
"W-Wow…" Kyoko stared in awe.
"Hahi! Amazing!" Haru said.
"Go Cami-nee!" Lambo cheered.
"Cami-nee beat them!" I-Pin cheered.
"Camilla-chan really is something else, isn't she?" Yamamoto smiled.
"She's an Asura what did you expect?" Gokudera couldn't help but stare in awe himself.
Tsuna stared at them both, 'W-Wow…Camilla-chan and her cousin are both amazing.'
Camilla sighed and looked over to the remaining assassins, "Just five left, huh?"
"Looks that way." Armino commented.
The remaining five got ready to fight but she only smirked, "Oh relax, we've got something special for all of you…isn't that right, Bell?"
Bell fell down from the tree above the assassins in slow motion her eyes glowing yellow taking everyone by surprise. The little girl smiled, "Ashura, Dainana Youshiki: Beradon'na (Asura, Seventh Form: Belladonna)." Merely swiping her hand down a light green afterimage was seen as she landed on the ground gracefully, as soon as she did they all went down just like that.
Bellona smiled innocently, "I beat the bad guys!"
"That you did, nice job Bell." Camilla praised rubbing her head making her giggle.
Armino looked around sighing with relief when he didn't sense anyone else, "Looks like that was it, I don't sense anymore assassins anywhere."
"Good because I'm not in the mood to deal with any right now." Camilla sighed walking over to the group who approached.
"That was amazing, Camilla-chan!" Kyoko smiled.
"You took them down like it was nothing!" Haru smiled.
"Cami-nee's strong!" Lambo grinned.
"Really strong!" I-Pin smiled.
"Thanks…by the way we brought some food with us," she brought up a large plastic bag filed with meat.
"Awesome! We don't have to worry about food!" Yamamoto grinned.
"Hmph, as expected of Asura." Gokudera smirked.
Tsuna sighed with relief, "We don't have to worry about what to eat tonight."
Reborn appeared on Armino's shoulder, "What about them?"
The boy looked over and sighed, "I'll deal with them."
A small hand touched his cheek, "Leave the rest to us. Get some rest."
"But!" a hand placed itself on top of his head making him look at the person who placed it there and it was Dino.
"He's right, we'll tie them up so they can't escape." Dino smiled.
Bianchi leaned down near them, "I'll poison them so they stay asleep forever."
"Permission granted." Camilla said tiredly.
"Camilla-chan/sama!" Tsuna and Armino yelled.
She sighed, "Whatever just get the fire started so we can eat." There was a sudden rumble making her eyebrow twitch, "Don't tell me…" just as she feared it was Enzio who had once again grown to be a giant.
Dino rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Oops?"
Camilla snapped, "DINO! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
"I'm sorry!" he wailed.
Camilla was glaring daggers at Dino who looked away nervously still eating his food, "I-I'm sorry…"
"Sorry doesn't cut it." She growled, "Thanks to you not watching over that damn pet of yours it grew to be the size of freaking Godzilla tripped over it's own feet and landed on Tsuna! Your lucky it didn't kill him!"
He shrunk in on himself, "I'm sorry…"
"Whatever, just eat your food." She grumbled.
He did just that.
She leaned back and watched as Armino did his best to take care of Tsuna's leg, "How does that feel, Sawada-san?"
Tsuna smiled a little, "It feels a little better, thank you."
"Your most welcome," he smiled then looked over his shoulder, "Bianchi-san are they still unconscious?"
"They are," there was purple goo on their face, "I made sure they take a nice long nap."
"To where, heaven?!" Tsuna exclaimed.
Camilla gave him his bowl, which he took graciously, "Thank you, Camilla-chan."
"Don't worry about it, how's the food everyone?" she asked.
"Really good!" Yamamoto complimented.
"Not bad." Gokudera mumbled.
"It's really good." Kyoko smiled.
Haru nodded because she had food in her mouth, as did Lambo and I-Pin. They were really hungry.
"That's good to hear then," Camilla ate some food herself, actually she was eating the snake they killed while the others were eating the bear that attacked them earlier. Skinning it was a pain but worth it because it actually tasted pretty good.
Haru gave the unconscious assassins a nervous look, "Are we going to be okay with them here?"
"Don't worry about it, we'll keep watch over them except you munchkin. Go to sleep." Camilla said to her sister.
Bellona yawned cutely, "Okay." She went over by Tsuna and lay down on his good leg making him jump.
"Um…" Tsuna didn't know what to do.
Armino blinked in astonishment, "Your amazing, Sawada-san! Bellona-sama only sleeps near Camilla-sama and no one else in the family."
"Eh?" Tsuna said.
"In other words she likes you," Camilla yawned, "Anyway, go to sleep already. We'll stay up and watch them."
"Yes, please get some sleep. You've all had a long day." Armino smiled.
Dino gave them a worried look, "You guys need more rest than we do."
"He's right." Tsuna agreed.
Camilla was about to protest but Reborn jumped on her shoulder hitting a pressure point to make her fall asleep, which worked because she was out like a light. He did the same to Armino.
"Reborn, was that necessary?" Tsuna frowned.
"They were being stubborn." Reborn simply said.
Dino set Camilla down near Tsuna and her sister and did the same for Armino.
He smiled down at them, "These two really have done more than enough."
"That's right." Bianchi rubbed Camilla's head.
Reborn looked over at the unconscious assassins, "We'll deal with them in the morning."
Tsuna took his word for it and smiled at Camilla's sleeping face before drifting off himself just like everybody else.
Camilla yawned as she finished getting dressed, "You guys ready to head off the mountain?"
"Yep." Yamamoto grinned.
"So where should we go?" Kyoko asked.
Camilla looked ahead, "We pretty much skulked out the mountain yesterday so we know where the path is and won't have to worry about getting lost. Armino will be jumping from tree to tree making sure we don't run into anything annoying and even if we do," she looked over at the assassins who were still unconscious, "We could always just sacrifice them and keep going."
"Fine with me." Gokudera shrugged.
Tsuna sweat-dropped, "Will you stop talking like that?" he yelped when Camilla put him on her back.
"Let's head out then." She started walking as the others followed her, Armino, and her sister.
Tsuna was worried that he was perhaps too heavy for her, but she hadn't complained one bit and simply kept walking. He realized that her back was really warm almost like she was a human heater. It was nice.
A man-eating plant sprouted from the ground making Haru scream, "Hahi! What is that?!"
"A man eating plant." Camilla stated calmly.
"Your too calm!" Tsuna yelled.
Armino had jumped down and disposed of it quickly then got back up to the trees making her smile, "Thanks Armino."
He smiled and went on ahead as she and the others followed him closely. After about 5 minutes a wild bear appeared.
"Kya!" Kyoko yelled.
Bellona smiled and charged at it jumping on it and breaking its neck just like that, "Did you see me Cami-neechan? I beat it!"
"More like killed it, but whatever." She shrugged.
"S-She killed it like it was nothing." Tsuna stared.
Camilla chuckled, "She's an Asura Tsuna, this shouldn't surprise you." She started walking again.
"It's still surprising," Dino pointed out, "She looks like she's Lambo and I-Pin's age."
Camilla was silent before she spoke, "She's five…"
Tsuna stilled while on her back and Reborn pulled down his fedora. That's right. When they turn five they begin poison resistance training, and since her sister's five years old that means she has to go through the same thing. Dino didn't get it at first but saw the look both Reborn and Tsuna were making and finally understood, giving Camilla a sad look, as was Bianchi. The others were confused though.
"Is there something wrong?" Kyoko asked.
Camilla closed her eyes then opened them staring at her little sister, "Its nothing. We should be out of the mountain path soon."
Tsuna buried his face in her neck remembering what she told him when Bianchi showed up.
"I'm immune to poison, having been exposed to it since I was five. I've built up an immunity towards it, even paralyzing poison doesn't effect me."
He shut his eyes tightly, 'She must've been in so much pain…yet she endured it!'
The walk became quiet and all they heard was Armino jumping from tree to tree and Bellona humming with a smile on her face as she walked ahead of them. After what felt like forever they finally arrived off the mountain much to their relief.
"We're finally out of that mountain of death," Tsuna breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Camilla-chan, Armino-san, Bell-chan."
"Don't worry about it." Camilla shrugged.
"Your welcome." Armino smiled jumping down from the tree.
"Your welcome, Tsuna-nii!" Bellona smiled.
Dino smiled looking around, "Looks like we'll be walking again."
"No we won't." Camilla said looking at the two limos that appeared along with some members of the Asura clan who were wearing masks.
Kyoko and Haru huddled near Bianchi, "Are they the same as these guys?" Haru shivered.
"No, these guys are from my family. Their here to take the idiots that attacked us last night." Camilla told them.
One of the men in the mask walked towards them and grabbed the rope that kept them in place dragging them back towards the others.
"Who's in the limbo cars?" Yamamoto asked.
Camilla sighed, "That would be…"
The door opened and out came her grandfather who had a kind smile on his face, "…My gramps. Agro Asura."
Gokudera was sweating, "Agro…Asura…"
"So this is what he looks like?" Dino stared at the old man.
Tsuna stared at him too, 'This person…is Camilla-chan's grandfather?'
Agro approached his grandchildren, "I'm glad you all are safe."
Armino bowed, "It's nice to see you as well, Sofu."
"Hi grandpa!" Bellona smiled.
"Hey, gramps." Camilla greeted.
Reborn tilted his fedora in respect making the old man smile, "Why don't I give you and your friends a ride? The young man on your back doesn't look so good."
"Sure." Camilla brought Tsuna over to the first limo and gently set him down and sat next to him. Armino sat across from her, while her sister sat next to her smiling.
Agro got in sitting next to Armino with Reborn on his shoulder making Camilla raise a brow, "You're riding with us Reborn?"
"That's right." Reborn said.
"I don't mind, we have much to talk about anyway." Agro stated.
She shrugged, "Whatever." The others were able to fit in the second limo along with the assassins and they drove away from the mountain, all the while Camilla was wondering who the mastermind was behind the scenes? Something tells her that her gramps will be able to figure it out.
The next day as expected Tsuna was transferred to Namimori Hospital because of his leg injury. Unfortunately he had to share it with three other patients who were acting like bullies but Camilla visited just in time before the brunette did what they were about to ask, "Yo."
"Camilla-chan?" Tsuna blinked in surprise.
"Hey, I came to see how you were doing." She walked towards him bringing in some purple hydrangea flowers and putting them into a vase.
"What flowers are those?" he asked.
"Hydrangea."
"Wow, so those are hydrangea's?" Tsuna stared, "Their pretty."
She smiled, "Hydrangea's hold many different meanings, heartfelt and honest, gratitude and thanksgiving, deeper understanding between two people, heartlessness, and grace and beauty."
Tsuna saw the serene look on her face and smiled, 'She looks as if she's remembering something.'
"Hey girl, are you done? That kid need to run some errands for us." One of the patients said.
Tsuna gave them a side glance then looked back at Camilla seeing the look in her eyes, "Camilla-chan…"
She smiled at him and walked over to the man who made the rude comment and grabbed his mouth tightly, "You've got some nerve acting like you own this place when we're the ones that donated to this hospital you piece of shit."
"Camilla-chan!" Tsuna protested.
She let go of his face roughly, "Nurse, get in here!"
"Yes ma'am!"
"Tell the head nurse that the three men in here need to be transferred to the other side of the room," Camilla ordered ominously, "They need to be sent there immediately, and this room is only for Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Understood miss Asura." The nurse bowed.
"A-Asura?!"
"The ones that donate medicine and cure incurable poisons?!"
"He's friends with one of them?!"
Tsuna saw their reaction, 'Again.'
Camilla gave them an unimpressed look, "Get them out of here immediately."
"Yes ma'am." The nurse bowed.
"W-Wait, we'll never mess with him again we swear!"
Camilla gave the nurse a piece of paper, "Here's the list of people that should only be allowed to visit Tsuna. Give this to the Head Nurse."
"Yes ma'am." The nurse bowed.
Three nurses came in and took the men out the room ignoring their please, Camilla sighed and walked over to Tsuna sitting down on his bed being mindful of his leg, "Idiots."
"Was that really necessary?" Tsuna questioned.
"Would you prefer it if I make sure they stay in this hospital permanently?" she raised a brow.
"N-No."
"Then there. I was actually being generous, I could've told them that they were ready to be released." She stated.
He sweat-dropped believing that she really would.
She stood up from the bed, "Well, I'm heading out now. See you when you get released."
"Y-Yeah, I'll see you later." He smiled.
Smiling herself she walked out of the room to visit a certain perfect that was also in the hospital recovering from a cold.
Having made it to his room she didn't bother to knock on the door and simply walked seeing he was passed out sleep, sighing she placed the hydrangea's in the vase and walked towards the door but paused when she heard his voice, "Omnivore."
She didn't even bother to look back and simply smiled, "Hibari." She left without saying another word.
At the Condo
Agro was having a private conversation with Reborn, but it was a friendly one for the most part.
"I see," Agro sighed with his eyes closed, "So she's the possessor of the wind flame."
"That's right."
He opened his eyes and took a sip from his tea, "And the young boy, he inherits Primo's blood?"
"Yeah. Tsuna is a direct descendant of Vongola Primo and is more suited to take over Vongola." Reborn informed.
"And?" Agro's eyes were a little mad, "Instead of coming to support his son himself the fool decides to thrust him into the lions den alone."
Reborn had to agree, "Iemitsu is an idiot, that I agree with."
"Hmph. If I had my way I would have officially adopted the boy. Camilla has already taken a liking to him." Agro said.
"Fn. True." Reborn smirked.
"Why don't we skip the pleasantries and cut to the chase my friend," Agro smiled, "You want Camilla to join his family and be his guardian don't you?"
"That's right."
The old man looked out the window, "Now that I think about it, we came here to Namimori before when she was just 6 year old though I suspect she herself doesn't remember."
"Is that so?" Reborn inquired interested.
He looked back at the Arcobaleno, "When we came back, she said that when she get's older she'll return to Namimori and be near her sky."
This took Reborn by surprise, "So she knew Tsuna possessed Sky Flames?"
"That is a possibility, she is different from her siblings as you've probably guessed. She is able to predict things no one else in the family can, and I've kept it a secret for a very long time." The old man said.
"Like our curse?" Reborn inquired.
Agro stared at him, "Yes I believe so."
"I see."
The old man smile, "I will allow Camilla to join Tsuna-kun's family."
Reborn bowed respectfully, "Thank you."
Agro chuckled, "Nonsense, I trust you with my grandchild more than that fool."
Reborn smirked knowing who he meant.
Camilla heard noises from the hospital and knew that the gang came to visit but since she gave the Head Nurse a heads up she didn't complain about it. She sighed heading back to Tsuna room when she looked out the window and narrowed her eyes, "This time it feels ominous."
Ranking Fuuta will soon come and then…so will Mukuro.
Next Time: Poison Valentine & Ranking Prince Fuuta!
