Chapter 12: Noir Famiglia

"WELCOME BACK ARMI-NEE!" The children shouted as they attack, more like hug her all at once that made her fall down from the too much weight, add her bag too.

The man and the woman beside her decide to help her, even the boy who called her princess. Soon, the children were playing again while the care takers were with her. Armira sighs deeply that somehow she survived from the kid's welcome hug. She smiled to them again.

"It's good to be back. How are you guys doing?" Armira asked them.

The one who called her princess has a dark blue hair and emerald eyes and around 17 years old spoke, "We been doing great princess, although its bit lonely without you."

"Still calling me a princess huh Richard" Armira said to him. The person who's name Richard spoke proudly, "Of course Princess. I, Richard your knight will always serve you with all my life without fail!" Armira sweat drop a bit, "Please don't" She actually like his loyalty but too much makes her feel bit uncomfortable.

"Richard you're making the princess feel uncomfortable" the other boy who has the same look as Richard and around 17 years old said. The only difference the two have was their hair color, while Richard has dark blue, he has dark red hair color. He looked to her with a smile, "We had been waiting for your return princess. While my brother mopes on your sudden leave, we gain trouble on how we can explain to the kids on your sudden leave."

Armira laugh a bit, "But I know you guys did well to make up some stories that can make them believe. Great job by the way Ramiro." The boy named Ramiro smiled and bowed a bit, "Thank you princess."

Armira looked on the other two, "How about you two Hiroto, Sayuri?"

The boy named Hiroto who has dark white hair color and Amethyst eyes, around 25 years old smiled, "Still doing fine Armira-sama"

The girl named Sayuri who has blond hair and topaz eyes around 28 years old smile sweetly, "You worried too much for us Armira-sama, you should take care of yourself more than us."

Armira smiled gently, knowing this people were doing well even with her absence around them.

"Princess, why didn't you tell us you're coming back? If you just told us, we would have come to pick you up." Richard said to her. Armira sighs, "That's more reason why I didn't do it, beside, I just took off without telling you guys either so there's no harm done."

"Now that I think about it, you did say that you were coming to meet him… did you meet that person Armira-sama?" Hiroto asked her. Armira nod, "I did Hiroto. He was indeed as I had imagined he would be. Clumsy and weak, not fitting for the boss position."

"Boss?" Sayuri asked. Armira answered her, "The person I kept talking about to all of you, is none other than the boy name Sawada Tsunayoshi, the Vongola's candidate boss."

The Richard and Ramiro were shock to hear the word Vongola. Both Japanese looked to them in question.

"What's Vongola?" Sayuri asked them.

Ramiro answered her, "Vongola was the strongest Mafia around the world. They are truly famous in Italy."

"Really? That Vongola is amazing then… but Armira-sama said the next Vongola boss was Clumsy and weak… is Vongola going to be alright?" Hiroto asked in surprise question.

"Don't underestimate him so easily Hiroto. He may be like that at first but as he grows, he'll become strong and wonderful person. You will also learn how amazing he is if you get to know him." Armira said to him.

Hiroto bowed to her, "Sorry for my rudeness Armira-sama" he apologize, he knew that hidden to her normal tone was danger that would only means he angered her and he doesn't want to face her wrath, ever.

Armira smiled and became serious, "Everyone after the kids are asleep, come to my office and we'll continue our discussion there. Alright?"

The four nod and soon the three went back to their work while Richard stayed beside her. Both are now walking on a dark hallway.

The house they were staying seems large but not for riches. It was just a normal big house made of stone and woods. Outside were quiet trees and wind.

"Richard, Kindly tell me what happened in this orphanage while I'm gone?" Armira asked him as she walks. Richard smiled and bowed to her, "I will princess… for now… Princess when will you keep that man's appearance of yours? If you would ask me princess, that appearance doesn't suit you."

"Oh really? For me this appearance was great, I can do many things that man could do." Armira said to him. Richard defended, "That's not what I mean princess. Even in your real appearance you can still do it and the thing I was trying to say was… you look more better in your real you."

Armira chuckle a bit, "Is that so… in that's the case."

Armira turn around and her suddenly her hair grew longer until to her waist and her looked became even more feminine. She smiled, she was now in her true woman's appearance.

"Better?" Armira asked. Richard smiled and nod, "Better princess."

Armira turn around and kept walking and Richard followed from behind.


Later in late night, all the kids in the orphanage were now sleeping on their respective beds and the three left silently and head to the room where their princess, more like their leader was waiting for them. They arrived on her office, seeing on her blue shirt and black pants, her feminine look and longer hair.

She smiled to their arrival, "How's the kids?"

"Already asleep princess" Ramiro answered her. Armira leaned to her chair, "Good… those kids doesn't need to know what we truly doing… for their happiness and freedom."

"You really care for them Armira-sama." Sayuri commented. Armira laugh a bit, "I do but it still doesn't mean I like kids… now, to the real discussion."

Her mood turns to serious as the others too became serious. They took their sits and the serious conversation began.

"He called me and told me to return here and be on standby. Even so, he asked, more like he ordered us to prepare ourselves anytime and any moment. Our enemies might come to us in unexpected time since I already made a move, by his orders." Armira told them which widen their eyes a bit.

They all knew whom she was talking to, the person who was truly the one leading them, even so never showed himself to any of them. The only person who knew about this mystery person was none other than their princess and act leader, Armira. She was his apprentice and it would be natural.

"Who did you met up with?" Richard asked.

Armira answered him, "The Storm Arocbaleno, Fon. Now in this moment, the Sun Arcobaleno, Reborn had come to train Sawada Tsunayoshi to become a proper boss of Vongola, by the order of the ninth, Timoteo. Since he does, I need to move out before he finds me, although he gave me timing where I could see him on his ride."

"That's sound too reckless" Ramiro said his thought out loud. Hiroto asked her, "Did the Sun Arcobaleno felt your flame?"

Armira doesn't know how to answer that. She just took a deep breath and answered, "Who knows…" Everyone seems tense, Armira smiled in reassurance, "Don't worry everyone, out of all Arcobaleno, the only person we should not worry about is the Sun Arcobaleno. Even if he does sense me, it doesn't mean he can do a thing. He has a mission and he has to stick with it."

"But princess, the Sun Arcobaleno is the strongest among all eight Arcobaleno. If their Sky ever wish to take us down, even if he has a mission he will still…!" Richard was stop when he saw the dangerous look Armira was giving to him.

"I said there's nothing to worry so there is nothing to worry Richard. Don't you believe my words?" Armira asked dangerously. Richard immediately shook his head, "I-I'm sorry princess… just that I…"

"I know Richard but I told you its fine and so it's fine." Armira said to make the nervous Richard calm down. She looked to everyone and asked seriously, "This battle that might soon to come was only our battle between me and him alone, the four of you have nothing to do with what are we fighting for. Even so, you four joined with us to help us on our battle. I will ask you again… Are you really sure you're joining with our battle? If you do, there will be no turning back. Death is unavoidable."

The four turn even more serious and determine. The first one who spoke was Hiroto.

"I, the reverse Lightning Flame, Fujioka Hiroto will join with you. You rescued me from my darkness life, you Armira-sama and him. So this time, I am here to fight alongside you, even it means death."

"I am too Armira-sama. You rescued me from that horrible life, so this time, I would like to repay it too even it means fighting and meeting death. I don't regret my decision for joining with your battle. I swear that to you as I, the reverse Mist Flame, Kita Sayuri to you and him."

"We brothers feel the same way Princess. I, the Reverse Storm Flame, Ramiro Guttuso shall accompany both you and him on your coming battle. Even it means I have to kill and meet death. I will have no regrets on this decision."

"You heard my little brother princess. I swear that to you too, as I, the Reverse Cloud Flame, Richard Guttuso to serve you and him in present until future. We are your soldier and knight, feel free to use us as you please."

Armira kept her serious expression every time she heard their determination on sticking with them. She gave a long sighs and asked again. "Even if this problem has nothing to do with your lives?"

"Yes!" The four answered in union.

Armira shook her head with a small smile. She really can't believe on this people.

"I already told you what we were fighting for, correct?" Armira asked them and they all nod. "Good to know… but… heh, really I don't want to have any of you to have anything to do with this."

The four smiled, knowing she cared so much to them that she doesn't want them to have anything to do with it.

"We all have decided that ever since you saved us Princess, our will can never waver no matter. We wanted to stay with you and his side no matter what." Richard prideful said, like it was his entire reason of living.

"Even if you still haven't met him? You already swore your life in his hand?" Armira asked them and the four nods. Armira sighs, "Just what the heck are you people?" Even if she asked that, she smiled, happy that they aren't the only once you fight against the cruel world.

"Be sure you don't regret any of your decision you four because once you went inside, there will be no turning back." Armira told them. The four nod once again and this time, Hiroto spoke, "We do and we don't care."

"We don't regret our decision Armira-sama" Sayuri added. "Beside, you and this person made this family for us."

Armira took a deep breath, "Very well…" She stood up and faced them with great loyalty and pride, "I, the Reverse Rain Flame, Caito Armira, the act leader of Noir Famiglia shall lead you all the way to the end."

The four stood up on their sits and bowed to her, telling that they will follow her no matter without fail.


Sunrise and Armira was busy to her paper work since she was the one who runs the orphanage, she was suddenly visited by Richard, a sup of cold chocolate in hand.

"May I come in princess?" Richard asked after he knocks and opened the door.

Armira took a deep breath, since her arrival she still hasn't slept. She smiled on his arrival and nod. Richard smiled as he closed the door and gave a cup of cold chocolate to her desk.

"Thank you" Armira said before taking the cup and drink it. Usually, coffee was the best drink for keeping a person awake but for her, it seems cold chocolate gives her energy to keep moving.

"Princess you should have sleep before doing those works." Richard said in concern. Armira laugh a bit, "Don't worry Richard I'm almost finish. Beside, this is nothing compare to his work."

"Who?" Richard asked and Armira answered, "Vongola Decimo"

"Ohh" Richard didn't expect that answer. Richard looked closely to her, seeing she was reading a paper on hand. "Umm… Princess… can I… can I ask something?"

"What is it?" Armira asked but still focusing on the paper. It took time for him to ask, "What does he look like? I mean… the person who really… led us?"

"You all questioned me that back then and my answer is still the same. I can't tell you anything about him at this moment. I'm sorry, even if I wanted to but he ordered me not to do so I can't."

"I-I understand princess… just that… my curiosity was too much about this person. The one who is the king and… what flame he does he possesses."

"I see…" Armira put down the paper and looked to him. She gave a small smile, "I can't really say much about him but maybe this information was fine. If ever the others asked, you may tell it to them too."

"R-Really?" Richard asked in disbelief and she nods.

"He's the one who will shine for us, leading the way as he gave light to our darkness path. Since he too was a reverse flame user like us, he was now the one who gave darkness around him, making him shine within the darkness."

'The one who shines within the darkness' Richard thought carefully. Armira just smiled and return back to her work. Richard kept thinking until he finally realize the answer she had told him.

'The king is the Reverse Sun Flame User'
