Tsuna: Reality doesn't own us!
The Anniversary
The entire Vongola Famiglia was in a car. There were no explosions, arguing or fighting. Just silence.
Everybody sat in the car, hands in their laps. Even Bianchi was given a day off from her school to come. Hayato just sat there next to her, his face somber.
Tsuna reached over and grasped Hayato's hand comforting. Bianchi followed. Hayato allowed himself a small smile.
G was silent, looking out the window with white lilies in his hand. If one looked at his reflection, they would've seen tears running over his tattoo.
Giotto sat next to his best friend and put a hand on his shoulder. G bowed his head.
Hibari, Mukuro, and Chrome were seated next to each other. None made a move to fight.
This was a time of grieving. No fights unless you were getting ambushed. And in that case scenario, don't injure, kill.
Today was a weekday. This was a day the schools allowed them to miss. It was too important.
The car stopped right outside a graveyard and the entire group climbed out. All walked in between the isles of tombstones until they stopped in front of one.
Lavina Gokudera
19XX-20XX
Let her beautiful, sound soul rest in peace
Hayato frowned and Bianchi put her hand on his head.
G lay the flowers down on the grave of his friend.
Lavina was G's long-time friend; he's the one that helped her become a pianist. Her father had set her up with an arranged marriage with a Mafia boss that he owed money to.
The man already had Bianchi from a different wife that died in a shootout when their mansion was ambushed. However, to Bianchi, Lavina was more of a mother than her own birth mother ever was. She encouraged her to do what she pleased while her birth mother forced her to be groomed to be a marriage piece. Lavina was the one who encouraged her cooking, which led to the discovery of her natural Poison Cooking, and her road as an assassin.
Lavina taught Hayato all she knew about piano's until her and her husband's death. Hayato could easily play any piece you give to him because of Lavina's teachings. He only played for his family of course, though.
G frowned. He moved the dead leaves off of his friend's grave. Lavina's husband was a cocky bastard. No matter how much the family tried to hide it, he knew that he hit Lavina. She didn't deserve him. She deserved to be a professional piano player and live the way she pleased, not get married to a sleazebag like him.
But then again, G did not know a single man that was good enough for her.
Hayato walked up to her grave and wiped the grave clean as best as he could. "Hi mama, I'm happy to see you. I'm trying to be a good man. I'm going to be strong. Strong so I don't lose the people I love anymore. I-I promise…" Hayato cried, sniffling into his shirt sleeve. Tsuna walked up to Hayato and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Hayato-nii, I'm not completely sure, but… somehow, I know that Hayato-nii's 'kaa-san is very happy with Hayato-nii." Tsuna told the young bomber. Hayato smiled at Tsuna and looked at Lavina's grave again.
"Mama… This is Juudai—Tsuna," Hayato corrected. "Over there is Bianchi-nee, Takeshi, Ryohei, Kyoya-nii, Mukuro-nii, and Chrome-nee. They're my family, and I promise that I will protect them all. I won't lose them." Hayato told his mom, cheeks shiny with recent tears but a refreshed smile on his face.
Bianchi stepped forward and took a deep breath. "Thank you, La—Mama. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't call you Mama when you were alive. We're all doing really well. G-san is taking care of us, Mama. I made you some cookies." Bianchi finished, setting down a batch of purple cookies. G gulped before inwardly sighing. It's the thought that counts, G supposed.
"Lavina, I'm going to take care of Hayato and Bianchi with all my might. I swear it—"
"Aww, ain't that just so sweet~" A voice cackled out. G immediately stood up and glared at the offending speaker.
"Oi, this is a private moment asshole, take your sorry, undersized pipe somewhere else!" Hayato growled out.
"Hehehe, so rare to see so many of the tops of the Vongola in one place—there's no way I'm gonna pass up a chance like this!" the man growled out, pulling out a Box and ring. Giotto growled upon seeing the insignia on the Box.
"Funny, I didn't really think the Bruto Famiglia was looking for a fight with the Vongola. Didn't particularly strike me as the suicidal type…" Giotto with a look that could rival the fierce cold of his Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition.
The man flinched but quickly recovered releasing a Cloud Machine Gun, the ammo practically infinite. The Vongola all stood up and unsheathed their weapons.
"I'll arrest you for disrupting a funeral." Alaude growled out, moving in for the kill. The man moved to fire his weapon but looked down to see his hands frozen. A head with brown hair and orange eyes looked up at him before giving a cold look.
"Ne, you know… This kind of ice doesn't naturally thaw… and there's no chance that the Bruto Famiglia could ever come up with flames strong enough to melt it… We'll melt it if we think you've learned your lesson…" Tsuna smiled, his HDWM, coupled with anger distorting his usual cute face into that of utter demonic characteristics.
Hayato smiled down at Lavina. "We haven't really changed that much, huh Mama? But isn't that what you love about us?"
The wind blew as if to say yes.
