Now on with the story!


SAKI POV

As Takeshi promised, I had my swords by the weekend. We picked them up after my Sunday session and I was so happy with how both swords turned out, especially the Lambent Light it looked so legit I'm sure my co-workers are gonna gape at it when they see it. The following day after school, I started my training with Takeshi-sensei on how to wield a real sword, it was similar to kendo but still very different but I'm getting the hang of it. There are times that Takeshi will actually land a hit on me and I'll get a few cuts around my body, but I was the one that insisted that he shouldn't have to worry about me because I know I won't learn if I get keeping babied by them. After a few more minutes of sword fighting we decided to call it a day.

"Come on, let's get those cuts disinfected and wrapped up, Tsuna and the girls are gonna kill me when they see the damage I done to you." He said

"Don't worry, like I said how will I learn if I don't get hurt and experience the pain? Though, I know that this is nothing to what all of you guys already went through. Besides I'll protect you from their wrath" I said as he was applying some alcohol on my cuts.

"Are you sure you want to continue the real sword lessons now? I mean you have the convention coming up and I don't think you want to go there covered in scars. We can continue the lessons after the convention." He said.

"I guess you're right I don't need to rush those lessons. Sorry, I guess I got used to always having a time limit whenever I'm learning something new." I said then I hissed in pain when the he applied alcohol on one of the deeper cuts on my forearm.

"Sorry about that. What do you mean by you have a time limit?" he asked.

"It means what it means. Whenever I have to learn something there's a specific amount of time that they allot for everything. So there's always the pressure to make sure I perfect everything within the given amount of time and I seemed to carry that old habit until now." I explained to him.

"Well why did they do that to you? I mean you aren't some super human cyborg that can do everything." he asked, I can see him questioning the way I was brought up.

"Well I think it's their way of teaching me to set my priorities and always meet a deadline, in a weird but fulfilling way. I mean I get to learn new things and at the same time they thought ahead of time a strategy for me not to break under pressure. With everything I do now, a normal person can't deal with the pressure of the Vongola, school, work and other recreational things." He seemed to understand my explanation.

"Your parents are cool but weird and maybe a tad crazy, but they raised you, and you turned out awesome so kudos to them." He said with a thumbs up. "Yeah they're great." I said.

"So we'll just do some exhibition moves for now? I know you're still shooting that film for English class, so maybe we can do that after you finish shooting, you need to rest little girl." I nodded.

"Also can you please protect me from the others tomorrow? Those cuts are bound to leave scars on your skin." He said, he really does fear his safety.

"Yeah of course." I answered.

"Come on let's get you home now, under strict orders from the Decimo himself that I have to walk you home every time you come here to train." He said.

"Stupid over-protective Decimo." I muttered under my breath but it seems like Takeshi still heard it when he let out a hearty laugh.


Time flew by so fast that I almost didn't realize that two weeks has already passed by and I was already packing my stuff for the three day convention at Tokyo. Those two weeks were hectic, with us finishing the film for Dino-sensei's class and my lessons with Takeshi, plus those extra self-defense class I signed up for and not to mention my job was on a seriously crazy time table to finish recording the last episode for the premiere, I'd have to say I did well to survive those hellish weeks. I already know the routine of the sword exhibition I was gonna do and I also did a test run on my Asuna cosplay with the girls, and damn did I look good.

Once everything was ready I grabbed my keys, wallet and passport and put them in my bag. I made sure to lock everything inside before I left for the airport. Once I got to the airport I was surprised to see everyone there.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"We're all coming with you Saki-nee!" Lambo answered. That surprised me even more because I didn't expect the little boy to tag along and the little Chinese girl Ipin was there too.

"What the kid said. Did you really think that we'll just watch you prepare for your first convention as a voice actor and not be there to see the results?" Takeshi answered.

"You guys are awesome." I was genuinely happy that they took time to see me at my first con. They're the greatest friends, no, family I could ever have.

"You won't be needing those plane tickets anymore, you'll be flying with us." Hayato said as he grabbed my tickets.

"Just go along with it, you'll be fine." Kyoko whispered in my ear.

We were at the boarding area and I saw this fancy as hell jet. A person that looked like a pilot approached Tsuna and bowed in front of him. "Decimo, are you ready to board the aircraft?" he asked in Italian, and Tsuna just nodded.

"Let's go guys." We followed the man and got on the plane. I almost freaked out with how posh and elegant everything inside looked.

"You guys sure go beyond first-class when travelling." I commented.

"Nah. It's just how a member of Vongola should always travel." A familiar voice answered. I looked around and I saw that Reborn came with us as well.

"Oh. Reborn-san, I didn't know you were coming as well." I said to the fun-sized hitman.

"These idiots wouldn't stop talking about it, might as well see how this little blossom is in full bloom." I blushed slightly at how he referred to me with the literal meaning of my name.

"We'll be attending both of your panels and maybe if we're lucky enough, we can get a picture with Asuna herself if she isn't too busy." Tsuna said.

"Of course I'll have time for you guys. Maybe on the third day we can all hang out and explore the con." I suggested and I received nods of agreement from all of them.

"Saki-nee! Can you sit next to me and sing to me? Please? I was a good boy that's why Tsuna-nii let me come too." Lambo pleaded and I just can't say no to such an adorable face.

"Of course Bambino," I said as I sat down to the sit next to him, "What do you want me to sing?" I asked.

"A lullaby!" he enthusiastically answered. "Alright, I'll sing you to sleep." I sang "Hush Little Baby" and once I was done I looked around and all of them seemed to have fallen asleep too.

'I guess I should get some shut eye as well.' And with that last thought I settled myself down too.


We already arrived at Tokyo and I wasn't surprised that a limo was our ride to the hotel where the convention will be held. Now I was surprised that I won't be staying at the room I was supposed to share with two more voice actors, instead I was staying with the Kyoko and Hana in a deluxe suite. It was huge and we all have separate bed rooms with its personal bathroom in each room. I placed my stuff in my room, while I was fixing my things a received a text message from the other voice actors that I need to get a few things from them before the convention starts, so I hurried back out.

"Hey guys! I'll just go with my co-workers to get a few things. I'll be back soon." I hollered before exiting the suite.

I finally met up with Tomohiko-san and the others in the lobby of the hotel.

"Ahh… Nishizawa-san, you got here earlier than us. I'm guessing the Decimo or at least some of his guardians are here as well?" he asked me.

"Yeah. The Decimo is here and most of his guardians are here too."

"Wow you are so lucky Saki-san, I saw you guys and I'm pretty sure you guys we're on that fancy jet that seemed to be private owned." One of the other voice actors commented, and I just laughed it off.

"Anyway we won't be keeping you any longer, here is your convention I.D, a can of sharpies trust me you'll need that much, and backstage pass on the premiere." Tomohiko-san said as he gave me the items.

"The convention will start at 1pm so we have to be there at around 12nn to prepare. We'll have the autograph signing first, that'll last for about two hours, we'll have a little break then will proceed to the cast panel then after that you can do whatever you want." He explained and I'm getting really excited, this is my first convention after all.

"That's all. We'll discuss the schedule for tomorrow after the cast panel. Is that clear?" A chorus of "Yes sir" was his answered.

I said I'll meet up with them later at the venue because I still have to get ready and I headed back to my room. I glanced at my watch and it read 10:18am.

'So I still have time a little more time before I have to go, maybe I can have lunch with the others first.'

When I entered the room, I was surprised to see all of them there. They seem to be doing this a lot lately.

"We just wanted to wish you good luck on your first convention and we have gift for you as well." Tsuna said.

"The gift is really from just Tsuna but I guess he's too chicken to say it and gave the others credit too." Reborn said out loud.

"REBORN!" Tsuna whined.

"Thanks for everything guys, I really do appreciate everything you've done for me." I smiled and I felt like crying tears of joy right then and there.

"Now, now. No crying you big-little baby. We'd do anything for you. You're family now, always remember that." Takeshi said as he ruffled my hair.

"Alright already. Just stop messing with my hair!" I playfully glared at Takeshi.

Then I felt myself falling forward as I saw that Takeshi was pushing me towards Tsuna and thankfully Tsuna caught me in time before I face planted on the floor.

He was already blushing as he spoke and I felt my face growing hot as well. "Well here, I hope you like it." He said as he handed me a small rectangular shaped box.

Once I opened the box I saw a beautiful custom made silver necklace and the pendant spelled "SKY". I handed him the necklace and gestured for him to put it on me.

When he clasped the lock of the necklace around my neck I turned to face him and I hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Sky." I whispered in his ear then I felt him hug me back.

Our little moment was cut short when I both heard a chorus of forced coughing. I immediately let go of my hug but he wouldn't let go of me.

"Hate to ruin your little moment you two, but most of us here are starving and would like to eat some lunch." Reborn said.

"Come on, I'm getting hungry myself." I said to them but mostly to Tsuna so he would let me go already and that did the trick, though I can't help but notice the disappointment I saw in his eyes when he did so.

"NOW LET'S EAT!" shouted an enthusiastic Lambo.
