A/N: I know there's a lot that needed answering on this fic. Say, for example 1.The Characters Past. 2. How Tsuna met his guardians and reason why the Arcobaleno despises being the pacifier holders despite being in their teen forms…and maybe a lot more questions. I just want to tell you guys that everything would be uncovered one by one...It might take some time but answers to your confusion would be known so please be patient :)
And sorry for the really late update...
Enjoy this chapter and yeah, KHR does not belong to me…
Chapter 10
Hours had past and the sun had already set a few hours ago. Dinner was done as well and surprisingly, even Giotto's stack of paper works for the day was all over and done with.
Now the first generation and their visitors are faced with what seems to be just a simple problem for others but a not so simple one for them.
It was none other than sleeping arrangements.
It wouldn't have been a problem if only everyone had all agreed when Asari suggested that the kids would be room mates with their ancestors, the teens shall have their own and Spanner would be sharing a room with Shoichi.
It was a nice deal, until some voiced their protests.
People might think that they are all being ridiculous but for them, no matter how stupid the reasons are they are reasons nonetheless.
One, Hayato refuses to sleep in the same room with 'Old Man Pink Head.'
Two, G stated he can't tolerate having a brat invade his personal space.
Three, Lambo wants to sleep lights out while Lampo was actually 'scared' of the dark. Though he quickly took it back when Alaude told him that he was not actually afraid of the dark but was just to lazy to turn the lights off and was the reason why his room was always bright.
Unfortunately their protests are drowned by the others agreement on the first rain guardian's suggestion.
"That would be a good idea Asari." Knuckles praised the Japanese man. Giotto nodded his head. "I agree, also it would be a great opportunity for us to get to know our descendants more in a personal way."
"Oh! I can't wait to share a room with my darling Chrome." Elena smiled while hugging the little girl who ended up blushing. Elena, like Cozart had decided to stay at the mansion while the kids are in the past.
"Nufufu, Mukuro and I shall be good room mates." Daemon laughed creepily while the mentioned boy shows an amused smile.
"It would be fun to share a room with Pops." Takeshi grinned while Asari smiled alongside him.
"I SNORE TO THE EXTREME UNCLE KNUCKLES!" Ryohei told his ancestor in an extremely loud way. Knuckles just smiled while beaming in an equally loud voice. "I SNORE TO THE MAX TO, RYOHEI!"
That moment, after hearing the sudden confession, everyone else was thinking the same thing: They need to buy ear plugs, ear muffs or any other available thing that could protect their eardrums during the night.
"I say this again, I am not sharing a room with him." G pointed at Hayato who gave him a 'same here' look.
"You have to, G" Cozart told the red head. "It was what we all had agreed upon."
"I did not agree to it." The storm scowled.
"Point taken, but you're outnumbered. You have to share a room with Hayato and that's final, Nufufu." Daemon chuckled. Giotto gave the mist a back up. "Daemon is right G; you will share a room with Hayato."
"I don't want to share a room with him." Hayato voiced out again but took it back when Tsuna, with puppy dog eyes requested him to do so. The silver haired wanting to make his friend happy had finally agreed.
"No way" G still won't say yes.
"You're so childish." Reborn pointed out. G glared at the fedora wearing boy. "What do you know?" The storm scowled which Reborn returned with a smirk. "A lot, I'm the world's greatest after all."
"Greatest?" Lampo asked.
"You have to find out yourself" Reborn gave the boy a mysterious and sly aura…one that was also felt by everyone in the room. The first family gave the teen an alarming look; the guests from the future just shrugged it though. Obviously used to the kind of situations they are currently in.
Alaude stared at the boy. The teens, they all seem to know more then they show. Just who are they, really?
"Now that it's settled, let's go adjust our rooms for the kids' convenience shall we?" Giotto looked at his co-adults. "As usual Cozart and Elena would be using their official guest rooms"
The he turned at the teens. "I'll be accompanying you guys later to your rooms, for now please excuse us"
Luce bowed at the first Vongola boss. "Thank you, Giotto-san"
The Vongola boss with his guardians walked out of the family room, with Elena walking besides Daemon. Cozart followed after giving Enma a small pat on the head.
Reborn then looked at the kids, sitting on a now green stool that was once Leon.
"Now, why don't we settle your confusions?"
"Why are we in the past?" Takeshi's aura was diverted from a cheery and happy-go-lucky kid with something akin to being serious. It was this side of him that shows people that undoubtedly he, no matter how young and carefree, was part of the dark world that is mafia.
"Tell us the whole truth" Kyoya told their teen mentors. Tsuna and the others all looked at the teens with determined eyes. Though Lambo only followed his older siblings into being serious since he thinks it was just a simple game. The thing was, if everyone that was currently inside the room hadn't known the child ever since he was a mere infant they would have thought he really understand what was going on.
Luce sighed. They already had a clue. Well, there is no point in trying to hide something they already know, well sort of. Tsuna's Hyper Intuition was really a force not to be reckoned with. "Okay, everyone listen"
Then alternately she, Fon and Colonello took turns into explaining whatever was going on.
"So we are here because we have to train under the first family?" Hayato asked.
"That would be correct"
"But why do we have to train with them? Aren't you guys enough?" Enma asked.
"Kufufu. Enma was right. You guys are the strongest bunch in the mafia world, as your students, we think you guys are enough"
"Combat skills,Yes! we can teach you that" Reborn told the younger group. "Intelligence won't be a problem either and so with your emotional skills, that and the other things you needed to survive in the mafia world, all of that we can teach, except for one"
"What?" Tsuna asked, confused.
"Controlling your dying will flames" Verde answered. Fixing his glasses that had slightly slid down.
"But you guys are the once who thought us how to call out to those flames" Takeshi mentioned.
"We did, but that's all that was into it" Lal Mirch sounded serious. "Calling out to your flames and controlling it are two very different things"
"But you have flames to" Hayato spoke. "Surely, you can teach us how to control ours"
"The thing is, we are not holders of the Vongola rings" Luce reminded "There are things that only a true Vongola blood can teach it's own. We as your seniors and the holders of the other set are here to guide you and teach you as much as we can, but that's all that is into it. Everything else you need to learn from them"
"But what about grandpa?" Chrome timidly asked. "Is he fine? What about the others?"
"I hope so" Luce admitted. "We had the Varia and the CEDEF members assisting him now, our allies are giving full support as well"
"How long are we staying here?" Kyoya asked. "What about Namimori?"
"As long as we have too" Verde spoked yet again. "According to my calculations, a week here was equivalent to only a day back in the present"
"Don't worry about Namimori, We are pretty sure Kusakabe would be taking care of the place" Skull stated. Kyoya grunted but accepted the answer, nonetheless.
"I HATE THE MAFIA!" Tsuna declared out of nowhere. "I swear that if I officially became boss of Vongola I will change the mafia for the better so no one will get hurt any more!"
"I'll support you, Jyuudaime!" Hayato declared, right hand raised as if taking an oath.
"You can count on me with that Tsuna" Takeshi gave a thumbs up.
"Hn. It would be fun to bite those who acts against the laws of humanity" Kyoya smirked.
"EXTREMELY WITH SAWADA TO SAVE THE WEAK!"
"Lambo will help to, as long us Lambo get's grape candy."
"Kufufu. Chrome and I will help as well."
"Tsuna, you can count on me too" Enma stated. "I'll give my best to help you out"
"Tsuna, we don't have Vongola rings but we would want to pledge full support as well" Shoichi said while Spanner just nodded in agreement.
Takeshi then held his hand out. "Come on guys let's do it!"
"EXTREMELY AGREES!" Ryohei followed.
"Not that again!" Hayato growled.
"I think it's fun" Tsuna said...and that's all it took for Hayato to change his mind.
"Hn. I won't do such herbivorous actions" Kyoya coldly stated.
" on Kyoya-kun, don't upset little Tsunayoshi" The little skylark glared at the male mini pineapple before glancing at Tsuna who was giving him a pleading look.
Kyoya sighed in defeat before placing his hand.
"One...two...three...Vongola Fight!"
The Arcobaleno just stared at the kids with interest.
"Well, they really are a unique bunch" Fon commented earning a nod from his comrades.
"Such interesting creatures" Verde spoked.
"Guys, aren't we going to tell them to keep our secrets safe?" Lal Mirch asked. "We hid the truth from the first family and it would be really troublesome if one of the kids accidentally spoils it"
"Lal's right, kora" Colonnello grinned. "We should warn the brats"
"Warn us about what?" Tsuna asked in curiosity having heard the last few words.
"Listen, we have a favor to ask each of you" Reborn had Leon turn back and was now napping on top of his fedora. "We need you all of you to keep our identity as the Arcobaleno as a secret to the Primo family"
"Why?" Spanner asked in monotone.
"Because we've pretty much already started the facade" Mammon said. "And besides, all of you guys know how much we hated the fact about us, reminds us of the damn curse, you know"
"Sure we'll zip our mouths!" The other kids all agreed with Takeshi's words, all except Tsuna.
"I'll agree on one condition." Tsuna gave his sempai's a serious look.
"What?"
"If the situation calls us to do so, we are allowed to reveal your identities" Tsuna was calm, eyes showing determination.
Seeing how serious he was. The teens finally agreed.
Just then, a knock on the door was opened and Giotto entered being followed by his guardians, Elena and Cozart.
"It's getting late. You guys have to take a rest" Asari spoked.
"Please follow us and we'll lead you to your rooms" Giotto smiled.
...iOiOiOiOiOi...
"Luce..."
Said girl turned around and saw the Arcobaleno that was considered closest to her. "Reborn" she smiled, acknowledging his presence.
"Can't sleep?" The boy asked joining the girl at the balcony. Luce nodded. "How about you?"
"I figured you might want someone you can talk too"
The sky Arcobaleno chuckled. "You really are a pro into figuring me out"
Reborn smirked. "I'm the worlds greatest"
"Yeah, yeah as you say so!" Luce teased making the sun slightly growl with annoyance. Luce chuckled.
Then out of nowhere an eerie silence engulfed the two.
"Reborn..." Luce stared at the sun. "Can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"Do you think that freedom would ever engulf any of us?" Luce stared at the starry sky. "Wasn't the sky and its elements suppose to be free? Yet here we are being bounded by the sins we never even created on our own. It was people's selfishness and greed that had us chained into a world we never even wanted to be part of..."
Reborn kept his silence. Waiting for the sky to continue.
"...I'm getting tired of living in a world where I can't truly be free."
"Everyone wants freedom Luce, unfortunately it was an option that was taken away from us" Reborn just stood from where he was, not moving. "Just a thought though, that maybe if we keep on fighting for it there might be a greater chance that we might get what we want"
"Well it won't be easy my friend, but never far from being achieved"
"Fon?" Luce gently rubbed her delicate eyes. Making sure that her friend was truly standing at the balcony.
The Chinese teen bowed gently at his friends. "Good evening"
"What are you doing, being up so late?" Luce asked.
"I went on a late evening exercise"
"At 11 in the evening?"
"At 11 in the evening"
"What do you mean by those words, Fon?" Reborn asked, eyes focused towards the storm Arcobaleno.
"Let's put it this way, Freedom was like a fast, elusive bird. Ever sneaky and sly to those who wanted to have a hold on it." The calm storm spoke. "But to every bird all you need was a skilled hunter armed with a bow and an arrow and at this point, do you know who the hunter would be?"
Reborn nodded his head while Luce gave a smile. "It was Tsuna"
Reborn fixed his fedora into a more comfortable way. "Undoubtedly Tsuna. No one would be more fitting with the job but that brat"
"Yes, it was indeed Tsuna. He would be the hunter, His dying will would be the arrow and his kind heart the bow" Fon smiled then walked inside. "I'm off to bed. Have a sweet night, my friends"
"Good night, Fon" Luce smiled.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi was really one of a kind" Reborn smirked. "He's one interesting individual in every way possible"
"Indeed he is"
"It's getting far to late, You should take some sleep or you might have those unwanted dark spots under your eyes when you wake up" Reborn stated.
Luce giggled. "I'll sleep now then, Mr. I-can't-tell-I'm-worried-for-your-health-that's-why-I-say-ridiculous-things"
Reborn rolled his eyes in a manly way. Small blush forming on his perfectly manly face. "Just go to sleep, Luce"
The Sky giggled once again before giving the boy a hug. "Thank's a lot for everything Reborn"
Reborn just stood, feet glued towards the floor. He felt his body shiver into the sensation when her body touched his. It was awkward at first, then he saw himself enjoying every bit of it. It was awkwardness in a very good way.
Soon he found himself returning the hug back.
He might be the Sun but he had stayed in the dark for far too long. Luce was his savior, the very first who had understood who he really was and what he truly feels. (The only other being a brat named Tsunayoshi) She was the willing soul who saved him from insanity. She was his light. The light that brings joy to the ever secluded sun.
It was really never a surprise that he had fallen for her.
Done :)
Sorry since this chapter was actually really short.
So I was planning to reveal one of the characters past for the next chapter. Who amongst the Arcobaleno would you want me to write first? Please vote on my POLL! or vote at the review corner if you want too...The POLL will only be up for a week :)
But why Arcobaleno first and not the tenth generation? Well the decimo family's pasts would be revealed as well. just not now yet. Reason? See, the first family would have a major role into uncovering Tsuna and his guardians past and so as Enma's with the help of Cozart. Spanner and Shoichi's would be revealed one way or another...and that means much more bonding time between the two generations are needed before the tenth generation's past are revealed :)
Hope it'd be fine to you guys!
Also, please check out the Omake I made for this story. It was titled 'Kitchen Duties' and if you feel like doing so, please do leave a review :)
One more thing: For those who are reading 'He's not Dame Anymore' I'm sorry for not being able to update it yet. I'm currently working on chapter four and update would be posted once done.
