Yo! As usual, I don't own Hitman Reborn!
Thanks for Midirin, Kouyan, Queen of Vampires, animelover78, DemonXAlaude, Mukurou-chan, and snowstorm43 for reviewing the Speciale!
This chapter is based on Carlos' point of view. The location is Spazio Famiglia HQ. I personally like making this one though…
Chapter 9: Unbelievable sides.
Carlos' POV
Another boring day of taking care of these stupid fellow Guardians of Spazio Famgilia. Well, not that I hate them. But they're really… peculiar. Take our Guardian of Fire for example, he suddenly left to Japan and ring us the news that he found our Hime. That's good, actually. But, after that, do you think he send us another message? Well, not in a few millennia. Unless… he wants to return home.
Don't even start about that noisy Aureliana. It's my business if I wanted to call her by her surname. Besides, why is she so mad about those trivial things? And it's my business too if I wanted to stay in my underground workshop than outside. Here is my sanctuary, my realm. I got refrigerator full of coke and Japanese food. That's fine with me. As of now she came to me and said the boss is calling me.
Oh geez. My boss is even more troublesome! He has crazy antics and also ignorant. He acts cool, calm, and mysterious whenever there are people around. When he was left with me or the Guardians? Don't even ask for it.
I finally reach his throne room (a typical one with desk, huge bookshelves, sofas, and that boss-like chair). Honestly, do mafias even have thrones? "Yo Carlos! Been working hard?" Yeah, because of you! I swallow the thoughts and reply calmly. That was the plan. He cut me off.
"Never mind, 'cus I'm going to add some to your workload."
This is what always happened every time I talked to the boss. He sent all of his generation's Guardians back to their respective homeland and leave everything to us, the Quarto Generation of Guardians. The boss is… a fine old man (according to Aureliana of course, I don't really give much thinking of this old guy). He saved me when I was dying, and the fact that I owe him for taking care of me when I ran from Vendicare won't change because of his messed up attitude either.
He sighed and stares fondly to a framed picture. I curiously get to his back and try to see the picture. He hides the photo by hugging them. "Don't you laugh and think I'm a crazy pedophile!" I laughed. But, when I see the picture, it brings me a sudden sting too. It was the same picture I have, and apparently she has. The picture of the three of us, with her grinning widely in the middle.
"I understand boss."
He's 67 and I'm 21, but we like a 14-year-old girl. Wait, she's turning 15 this year. We suddenly hear a loud 'KABOOM!' come from a room not-so-far from us. Thus, Aureliana rushed to the door and appear out from nowhere. Her outfit is really out of the mafia ethic code of simple black-suits. She likes the metal genre music and love a band called, I dunno, Distruzione! or something. She wore many chain accessories (which sometimes become her weapon) with her ruffled black mini-skirt.
"Terzo! It's Claire! She…" She's completely out of breath. "Seems that she's gone berserk again, thanks for informing us, Bianca." Said the old man. Aureliana smiled; she liked it a lot if she was praised by the boss. "Anyways, take care of her Carlos." I shove her away and asked to the old man. "Are you surprised that the dancing maiden… no, Asari Yukime whom we met a year ago is the bearer of Earth flames?"
"In truth, no…" When I'm about to explode to him, he cut me off. "Now go, Carlos. Take care of your job now. We'll speak about her another time."
I hate it if the boss gives off that creepy aura. So, I left him and went to Claire's place.
oOo
I can hear Antonio's voice even before I entered the room. "But, Claire… it's the storm Guardian that humiliates you. Not the rain." Said Antonio. "Really? But I don't care! It's the rain that I hate the most!" For Lord Hades' sake, the all-cute, beautiful, sincere Claire has this kind of personality… yeah. It's true. Right now, she's binding two people she found pick-pocketing on Venice streets in her Grapevines and Rose thorns.
And the 'sometimes' masochistic Antonio is beside her, hoping to get hit by that whip of hers. "And that Rain Guardian! How dare he embarrass me in front of Hime? Not to count that I failed this mission! Carlos will think of me as useless!" With that sentence, I heard a whip cracks. "Ouch~!" Said Antonio happily.
"But, Claire… the one that make you fail your mission is the storm Guardian." Said Antonio in a dazed voice. I entered the room with Aureliana. "Ah, Carlos!" Claire saluted to me. "Yo, Carlos!" By the looks of that bizarre happiness, it seems that it wasn't the first time he got hit by Claire's whip. "Both of you… stop exploding things away! Do I have to warn you again and again? What if Hime knows about this… this scandal!"
Claire, Antonio, and Aureliana stares to me in question. Like they're saying: 'like you don't have any of peculiar hobbies at all' I stare back to them in irritation. "For Lord Hades' sake! What's wrong with all of ya? I just don't want Hime to get confused before joining the Spazio Famiglia!" Claire laughs oddly. "Oh, please Carlos. Hime is a sensitive person. And the fact that there are three major reasons why she stayed with Vongola, doesn't help us at all." She explains.
Aureliana looked interested, because she hasn't meet Hime before. "One, her brother, Asari Ugetsu is there. Two, she's already familiar with them in the time of her stay in Japan, and three, her lover's there." Said Claire. Antonio nods. "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute… she has a lover?" I asked curiously. It's weird, we're gossiping in a half-destroyed room and two people surrounded by grapevines and rose thorns.
"Yeah! It's the cloud Guardian. What's his name, Antonio?" Claire asked. "Alaude, the solitary guy!" Antonio answered while staring hopefully to Claire's whip. Aureliana chuckled. "Wait, it's only four of us…" Said Aureliana. "Yeah, it's the flirty guy, and the martial-arts freak." I answered. All of us laugh. To think of it, one more of our Guardian is in Japan.
Much to our surprise, Terzo's laugh blends to ours. All of us saw him and I nod, while Aureliana, Antonio, and Claire bows. "Claire, I have a mission I think you'll like. That also goes for all of you." He smiled. "But first… you need to call him."
oOo
"Okay, I'll call him. Don't make any loud noises when I'm on phone." I asked them. We're in lounge now, so the phone's here too. The old man has returned to his own room. That's great. And… it finally connects.
"Hello?"
"Is that you, Jazz?" A note for you, his real name's not Jazz. It's a sarcastic name.
"This voice… Carlos?"
"Exactly! Listen, the boss wants all of us here. No exception."
"Geez, I bet the flirty guy hasn't return yet. Terzo… or Quarto?"
"Terzo, and we found Quarto already."
"Really? What's the name?"
"Asari Yukime. You'll come right?"
"REALLY? ASARI YUKIME? I'M SOOO RETURNING TO HQ!"
"Yeah yeah, call the flirty guy while you're at it."
"Sure. See ya later."
He dropped the phone. "He'll return?" Ask Claire in her innocent voice. I nod. "Yeah, he's returning."
*In Japan*
"Hey Ryuuren! How long you're going to stay on phone? The Dojo training's about to start!"
He grins and gets up from the phone. He picked up his shinai* on the tatami mat.
"Coming, Ryuunosuke nii-san!"
Finished~! This one's finished! Please review, okay? The reviews are what keep me going. A shinai is a bamboo blade like, shigure kintoki. Oh, in case you don't quite get it, the one Carlos refers as Aureliana is named Bianca Aureliana. That's why Spazio Terzo called her Bianca, while Carlos called her Aureliana. Try to guess what Guardian Carlos is! Can you guess it? That's all I guess. Bye-bee~!
