Memories Reborn chapter 11 A gift, and a haven.
Before we start, I have to say. OMG thank you everyone for your reviews, I don't even know where to start. Well I do Beta is still buissy, so again sorry for the inconvinience.
And I guess that is it. I hope you enjoy this chapter as you have with the others, so again thank you for that. And let's get on with the story then
Previously on Memories Reborn
Byakuran said as he held out another piece of paper, for Tsuna to colect.
"I'll see you around Tsu-chan" Byakuran said as he wanderd off out the door.
Tsuna decided to look at the pieces of paper in the morning, right now he felt extreamly tired, Tsuna placed the pieces of paper on the table, turned off the light, and went off to a relaxed sleep.
~VxG~
Tsuna had woken early, and started the day, to read a book. He decided to wait and read the notes for later, when he could talk to Reborn about it. Yamamoto and Hibari where still asleep, so he took the book he had started on last night, it was an italian novel, about the battles in the 1700. He had just gotten to the 15h chapter, when he noted the stirring from across the room, Hibari and Yamamoto was waking up.
Marking his page, and putting it back, he hit the call, button, to reach a nurse, or a doctor, vichever shows first. And it was only then did he start to feel a little slight tingle sentation in his right arm. The drugs must have started to wear off.
"groan" Tsuna turned towards the voice, Yamamoto was the first to see him. "Ah Tsuna?"
Tsuna only smiled at his friend, and saw that Hibari was now wide awake as well and was looking at him, Tsuna could read his guardians like an open book, after having to deal with his hectic guardians, for so loong. It would be hard not to. If Tsuna didn't know Hibari as well as he did. The look Hibari was giving him was looking more of a frown, or even angry. But what he saw in his cloud right now. Was nothing but releaf, and like a huge burden had been lifted from his mind.
Tsuna smiled slightly, he saw the same worry in yamamotos eyes, they where easier to read than Hibari. Maby even a bit more worry than Hibari's own.
"I am sorry I worried you guys, say how loong have I been out?"
"About 14 days now Tsuna"
Tsuna as well as Hibari and Yamamoto turned to the new voice. In the doorway stood none other than Reborn himself, acompanied by a nurse.
"It is about time you woke up, the child woke up before you. Maman is taking care of him as we speek, Nyx has allso made a full recovery, right now it is only you and your two guardians left."
Yamamoto was the first to react. "Wait guardians, what are those?" Tsuna gave a slight chukkle. "I'll explain later Yamamoto, Reborn I have something I have to talk to you about."
"Save it Tsuna, you need to focus on regaining your strength back. We can talk later in private, your friends there is getting out today, we can talk then."
Tsuna could only nod, and soon after the nurse had examined him, and said he was only going to need a few nights rest. about 1 or 2 days would be effichent.
The hours passed by in a flash, his mother, along with Hayato, and Bianchi. Lambo along with I-pin (who was allso around the size as fuuta, only smaler) who had arrived from her misson only a week ago, to continiue her training with Fon. And even Fon and Colonnello had showed up, Nyx was the exception as animals werent allowed inside the hospital, for allergic reasons.
Tsuna was happy despite his storm, bombarding him, with praise, and crying his own tears out. If it was one thing Tsuna could never get used to despite what Hayato did for him in his previous life, and that was his god damned loyaltly, seriously sometimes Gokudear acted allmost like a dog most of the times. And then there is this Hayato, he was allmost worse than in his previous life, thoughto be honest he was a little more level headed, but he cared for him, like nobodys buisness. And it was allmost scary, how much he would do for his boss.
Tsuna only smiled and accepted it though, despite his flaws he was lucky to have such good friends.
A couple of hours later, and it was only Tsuna and Reborn left, Yamamoto, and Hibari had been granted the all green to get out, and the others respect Reborns wishes, and left him alone with his student.
Reborn sighed, as he handed the gloves to Tsuna. "I believe theese are yours now." Tsuna could only look at his tutor in awe. He didn't need for him to explain what they where. "Thank you Reborn."
Reborn only noded, as he got serious again. "Say Tsuna if you don't mind me asking, this might be a bit hard on you, but can you tel me about your first kill, I know you have killed before I got here. I just want to make shure you are allright."
Tsuna was taken aback from this, as his mind went blank. His first kill, out of all the things Reborn could ask him about it had to be his first kill.
Tsuna never liked taking a life, but he knew, even way before he had even decided on wanting to take the mantle of Decimo in his last life. That sooner or later, he had to eventually take a life. And when he did do it, it felt like the world around him went into chaos, shure Byakuran was killed by him in the future.
But at the same time it was not. Tsuna had killed Byakuran out of rage and worry for Yuni and Gamma. Shure his other kill was a lot less rage and more, worry. And is the one Tsuna himself keep thinking about when he kills.
He remember the day so wery clearly, he had been asked by Nono to take care of a meeting, because one Nono wanted to make shure Tsuna could handle himself in a meeting, and at that point Tsuna had allready been in a few meetings with Nono, and his guardians along with a few of Tsunas own. (mainly Hayato and Takeshi)
The meeting was nothing special, it was a peace treaty confrence, with the Tyeren famiglia who had came to Vongola. Nono had every right to be relaxed, they where already close friends even without the treaty, so he believed Tsuna Would be able to handle it on his own.
Tsuna was alone with Reborn on the outside keeping guard, he had brought along Hayato, Takeshi, Chrome and Lambo. Mukuro was still recovering from being freed from Vindiche, and Kyoya allong with Ryohei was out on a mission together.
In the beggining everything went well, it wherent untill Tsuna had asked Chrome to give the signing papers to the don of Tyeren, that things started to go wrong.
As Chrome finnished her route, one of the Tyeren family men, made a remark.
"That girl of yours is gorgeous, you wouldnt mind me taking her for myself do you." The man said as he grabed for Chrome. Chrome just simply stiffend right where she stood, loking over towards her boss, who was at the moment trying to calm himself and appear professional.
It was hard for him but he managed it somehow, as he simply stood up, went over towards his female mist. Lightly taking her out of the mans hand.
"I would preffer it if you didn't touch my mist like that sir. It is severely unproffesional. And if it is something my teachers have taught me, if anything, it is to keep a proffeshional nature to yourself. I do not care what you do to other women in your spare time, so please be considderate to my Chrome-chan"
Suddenly there was a sound of shatering glass, as Tsuna had turned his head towards it, he saw the don's face red, and angry.
The don then went to grab another nerby glass, and flung it towards Tsuna. Tsuna's guardians tried to make a move, but Tsuna stopped them, simply holding a hand up. (A/n By this point the old Tsuna had gone through vigurous training with both Reborn and the ninth together with the ninth's guardians. Together they had been slightly able to get the dame ness out of him, he still had a long way to go though)
The don was angry, he pointed at Chrome while he talked away in an angry Italian. "Do you dare say to me that you have TWO mist, you allready have the hated Mukuro at your side. Wich I frankly think should have stayed in the Vindiche care. At least he wount be able to end the world from there, and then you have this WOMAN, who looks like she is straight out of the hospital or something, a wery gorgeous woman no less."
The man took a slight breather for a moment when he stared angrily up in the young vongola don's eyes.
"Not to mention you are nothing but a child. you can't be more than 15, do you sreiously believe I can take you seriously. I have staked everything on this aliance, and then you come over here trying to act all hight and mighty."
The man then pulled out a gun from his hoilster, on his hip and aiming it at Tsuna. Being thretend dayily by a monster of a tutor everyday, Tsuna wherent even fased by the mans appeal. As Tsuna walked slowly over to the don. And was about to calm the man down when there was a loud gunshot comming from behind.
As Tsuna turned around, Chrome was lying on the floor, with blood oozing out from her shoulder. And then he saw up on the wery same man that had tried to seduse her just moments before, with a smoking gun in hand.
Tsuna saw red, trying to seduse her is one thing. But attack one of his guardians, in the middle of a peace treaty, was not going to end well at all.
Tsuna gatherd his own gun (wich Reborn had insisted on him in having on him at all times.) And Shot the man. The rest of what happend is a blur to Tsuna. He remember Hayato had called for reinforcment, and Reborn jumping in through the door, just in time to see his student shoot the man dead.
Tsuna remember the feeling of light headednes. He remember his guardians rushing in to help him steady himself. And then nothing. just a hole lot of nothing. He had just killed someone.
Looking back on it all, it felt allmost foregin to him. It had taken a lot of effort, from his guardians and tutor to get him back to his usual self.
Tsuna tried to get comfortable in the hospital bed he was currently seated in. The first kill is something that is allways going to stay with you for the rest of your life, and in his case the afterlife.
Reborn looked at the silent boy in front of him, thinking to himself "Did I go to far?"
"Oy Tsuna are you allright?" Tsuna was instantly snapped out of his trance
"I am sorry Reborn, you caught me off guard" Tsuna took a few deep breaths. Tsuna thought this might be his chance to get to know his tutor a bit more. And at the same time ask a genuine question, he never got to ask in his last life. yet he didn't get to because when the question was about to come up, he would get weak kneed, and drop it all together. Now was a perfect time to ask.
"Say Reborn, I know killing is a must in the mafia, but is it bad to disslike killing." There he said it, in his last life, Reborn was a monster, and would constantly threthen him with the gun, heck even Spanner threthend him with a gun once.
Tsuna studied his tutor closely, Reborn was a master at everything he did. And rarely did Tsuna see him serious or angry. The only time Tsuna could remember seing Reborn mad, was in the future, when Yuni came to them asking to be portected. And Byakuran was closing in on her, when she was hugging him.
Right now Reborn was showing another side to him he had never seen. It was like his age had finaly caught up to him, he looked so tired and frail. When Tsuna know that he is far from it at all.
Reborn was the first to break the silence that had appeared between them. "It is true that we have to kill in this world we call home, and although I have chosen this way of life, you have been forced into it." Tsuna allmost scoffed at the irony, but managed to hold it in.
Reborn continiued. "I personally don't enjoy killing, and I believe nobody should ever do. But this is a harsh life, and I hope you have gotten the help you needed when you first killed, wich you have yet to tell me Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Oh crap Reborn is using his full name, Reborn is annoyed. And an annoyed Reborn is no fun at all to deal with. So Tsuna took the hint and started to explain himself.
"I am sorry Reorn, but it has been a while. And don't worry Kyoya and his family has been a great help in helping me cope."
Tsuna took a deep breath and started the story.
"My first kill, it shure has been a while. I think I was around 7 or 8 years old. Kaa-chan had started taking shooting practise, and cept a gun with her everywhere, much like she is now."
Tsuna took a little pause, as he rememberd the incident in question.
"I was home from school because I had a slight fever. And kaa-chan didn't want to take any chanses."
Again another pause, before continuing.
"Then a man came inside through the front door, and managed to find his way in to the kitchen area where we where sitting. I remember he had this big gun on him, not a single handed wepon like me and kaa-chan have currently, it was huge at least it looked huge to me."
Again he took another short pause before continuing. this incident had really put a number on Tsuna, maby even more so than his first, in his last life.
"Kaa-chan, went to grab her gun from the counter, but the man managed to shoot it out of her hands, and the gun flew towards where I was standing, the man kept going towads Kaa-chan. And I must have picked up the gun at some point, because the next thing I know there was a loud bang, and the man just fell. Like a sack of potatoes allmost."
Another pause, as he tried to calm his nerves.
"The man was just lying there, the blood would not stop flowing. The gun felt heavy in my hands as it fell to the ground. Next thing I know I am waking up in Kyoyas house, where they helped me recover from the incident."
There was a loong silence that felt like it had gone on for what felt like hours, until Tsuna was the one to break the silence again.
"Ither way it has been a loong time shince it happend, and I have killed more than I can count on one hand."
Tsuna gave off a slight slow painfull smile. "anyway, I just wanted you to know that a man by the name of Byakuran showed up last night, I think I woke up around 3 ish. He left behind two notes and a few of those." Tsuna said as he pointed towards the twenty something bags at the side of his bed.
Tsuna then handed the notes over to Reborn, and mentioned he had not seen in them yet, and that he wated to talk to him about them, when he had the chanse.
Reborn started to read it out loud, as Tsuna listend.
Dear Sawada Tsunayoshi, my name is Timoteo Vongola, and I am the current boss of the Vongola famiglia.
It sadens me to say that I am really counting on you. Whenever I read the reports Reborn sends, me and tells me about the thing's you can do.
I just hope you can handle my two sons, Fredrico, and Xanxus.
Their biggering is getting out of hand, Fredrico has lost two of his guardians, while Xanxus has only lost one.
I have allso heard that you are only missing a Lightning and Mist guardian, I am thinking of sending you a spechial item for you to keep safe, I am afraid they are not going to be safe in the Vongola manor much more, with the fighting the two are doing.
Dear Tsunayoshi I just sincerely hope you are going to be safe, and that you take care of yourself.
And that the information I gave to young don of Milefiore has done you good, I hope you can do something about it.
Sincerely Vongola Nono.
As Reborn finnished up the note, Tsuna was still mulling over what Nono would send, it couldn't be the rings could it. It is still far to early to do anything about the rings. Or is the situation that bad. He had allready heard about the loss of guardians between the two, parties.
But then again if things where to go that way. And then. "HGUAAHHH" Tsuna was so frustrated, he couldn't make heads from tails about this, and what was the information that Baka-byak had gotten.
Reborn was just as confused, wel maby not all of it, though he did see his student was taking this a bit too seriously. Why don't we see what this Byakuran had obtained as for as Tsuna was deep in thought he started to read. And my god this was something that made Reborn angry, not piss off angry, just simply a slight irritational angry.
The note talked about a facility, that experimented on humans and animals, and to what the extent flames can do. And as Reborn continued to read down the details. About spechial animals, compleatly infused with flames, how they are being called flame beasts.
This was starting to tick Reborn off, for it went into great detail on how they extracted flames from humans, and poured them into a helpless little animal, or a big one. Wichever you prefer.
He had to talk to Tsuna about this evetually. But for right now, the teen needed to rest, and the boy along with his mother was going to get the suprise of their life. for the house he had started to build for them, was finally done.
And the moment Tsuna was ready to leave the hospital, he was going to make shure EVERYBODY was there, he had been super tight lipped about this. nobody knew of it with the exception of him, and the ones working on it. And they had to swear on the Omerta that they would keep their lips sealed.
Reborn excused himself, leaving together with the two pieces of notes. And leaving behind a wery confused Tsuna.
*2 days later*
It was late in the evening Tsuna and Nana allong with everyone else, followed Reborn through the forest. The others, wich consist of Haru, Kyoko, Hana, Ryohei, Hibari, Yamamoto, Lambo, Hayato, Bianchi, I-pin, Fon, Colonnello and Nyx. where all exited when Reborn said he had a suprised no strings attached.
Tsuna was still skeptic about it all. But for now he followed along. And when Reborn stopped, and said they where here Tsuna just stared in front of him at the 3 story tall building in front of them.
Reborn jumped up on the teens shoulder. And mentions for the building. "This is your new home Tsuna"
Tsuna could harly believe his own ears, his mother had allready sunk to her knees, holding her hands to her face, silently crying.
Reborn jumped down again, as he explains.
"This place has the state of the art security systems. It has flame detectors, and cameras where you don't even know it could even be. If you are not safe in this house I don't know where else you would be safer, it has the same security system as the ones in the Vongola mansion."
No Tsuna thought, this security system is higher than the one in Vongola.
Reborn waved the others, inside. Bianchi being the one to help Nana, back on her feet, as she allso slightly hugs the woman, in comfort. The two had grown close when Tsuna was in the hospital.
As they enterd the house/mansion. They where greated to a wide open space, straight in front of them was a twin staircase. (much like the grand staircase in Titanic, if you havent seen the movie go check images of the staircase up on google)
And two big doors behind those again. Behind door number one was a little corridor, with a few doors, all of them are labeld. Study, library, kitchen and so forth. In through the other door was the rooms like diner, the living room, and another Library. The diner was conected to the kitchen.
Up the twin stairs, was the gate way to the living quarters, like sertain rooms and such. it was a loong corridor, and when they started to get to the end of it, the simple but fancy doors, started to have words written on them.
the words being, Cloud, Sun, Rain, Lightning, Storm, mist and at the wery door on the end it stood in fancy letters Sky, all in italian.
As Reborn opend the door, a king sized bed stood in the middle of the furthest wall, another dog bed for Nyx to sleep in. There was a fancy desk, with a few papers on it, and then there was an entire wall, filled with books, in diffrent languages, and sizes. Reborn didn't give the teen any time to take a look at them as he moved to the left side of the bed, and hit a hidden button on the bed leg.
It opend a hidden door besides the bed. And before Tsuna had a chanse to check it out. Reborn got ahead of him. "This is a secret passage, it connects with your guardians rooms, so if anything happends during the night and any of your guardians are here you can go to them."
Tsuna is getting confused. "Reborn what about you, can't I go to you if I need anything?"
Reborn gave of a smal sad smile. "I am getting to a point where I can't help you anymore with your training. You are just in need of experience, and do the rutine I have given you when you train with your guardians. Other than that I don't know what good use I'll be of you other than to give you a few pointers here and there."
Tsuna could hardly believe is own ears, was Reborn saying what he think he is saying.
"Are you leaving?" Reborn shook his head. "Heavens no Tsuna, I am not about to leave you yet, that much is certain. Anyway we still have a lot of house to see, why don't we head upstairs, and see your new office Vongola Decimo."
Tsuna could only smile, as Reborn led the way. Things where becoming great.
As they got upstairs, There was a lot of open space not as many doors as there was downstairs. It was a simple gaming room, another library, seriously how many books does Reborn think he can read. He love to read, but this is insane. And now there was just one room left.
Tsunas new office, Reborn decided to let his student opend the door, as Tsuna got in he saw the big brown mahogni desk at the wery end of the room, a fire place at the left side of the room, with a brown sofa placed in a horse shoe around it, there was a dog bed for Nyx behind the office desk, for a place for her to be comfortable when Tsuna would be in here to work. And yet another book filled wall, at the right hand side. Behind the desk was a big grand window, with the same breathtaking vieu like when both he and Reborn had flown to the mountain.
Tsuna had walked up to the desk to feel it's texture, the room, the whole house, it felt safe, it felt like home. He felt relaxed.
Nyx was the first to come up to her master, she licked his hand. Tsuna could only stare at his tutor in awe, All of this was for him and his mother. He was getting teary eyed.
"Anyway" Reborn spoke up again. "There is one more thing I have in store for you all. Come with me this way, I am sorry Tsuna you can get emotional later."
Tsuna gave off a slight smile, as he followed his tutor once more. ans they reached the stair case, Reborn walked to a metal door by the side of it, hit a button and it opend.
It somehow managed to fit everyone inside, with room to spare. As the now apparant elevator, was taking them down to a basement floor, Tsuna was starting to grasp at the situation. Nono had mention that the items where not going to be safe in the Vongola Manor, wich ment sending them to him, at the time Tsuna thought of the idea as stupid, because if his old house was anything, it wasn't safe.
But with this place it could possibly be the safest place around. Just then the door opend, and in front of them was a huge wall, with four other dors, and as Tsuna got a look around he saw another seven other elevator doors, wich ment.
"This is the training facility, through those four doors, you are going to find four diffrent rooms, the first door to the right, is the gun hangar, it has up to ten shooting booths. And with this I am going to make shure all of you boys espechailly, know how to handle all of the guns you are ever going to find."
Reborn was looking more sternly at Hibari and Ryohei mostly out of the guardians.
"Speeking of the gun hangar, you will allso find equipment ment for the use of gun practise, for you see there is allso a paintball area for you to train in as well. Or just joke around as you see fit. This is after all yours now Tsuna."
Tsuna gave of a slight grin, as his tutor continued towards the secound door.
"Through this door, you will find the state of the art training equipment, you wil not only find the basic of basic training equipment, like training bike or something, there is a balance bar, in case you need to train your body in any form for acrobatics. It got a few practise dummies for close combat training, for your martial art training with Fon and Colonnello. There is allso a smal dojo and sword practise area. A smal boxing ring, and a few punching bags. There is allso a lot of weights, for muscle training, you will find it all in there."
Reborn then went over to the third door.
"This next room is a simple fighting area, the wall's are soundproof, and as much flame restisted as we could muster, this is where I want you to train your flames, and your flames only. And by flames I mean only flames, you can have any form of wepon as loong as it is coated in your flames."
And then Reborn walked over to the last door.
"Through this door, you are going to find the pool area, I Expect all of you whenever you are here to at least swim 20 km, every day, if not more. There is a diving board up to 30 meters high, or lower if you don't feel like jumping off a cliff. there is a simple diving board's as well, for those who want to start off smal, the pool itself has a diameter of 50 meters, in width, depth and length."
Reborn stood in front of the group as he motioned for behind them.
"As you all can see there are more than one elevator, and as you can allso see they are color coded, as we arrived from the far left, those other elevators, are all going to take you to your respected rooms. Yellow is sun, cloud is purlple. orange is sky, you all get the deal."
Reborn took another note of the teens and the other in the group. As he went on.
"Ryohei, Takeshi, and Kyoya, from now on you are to stay here every weekend, or other days when we call for you. From this day forth you are now Tsunas Guardians. I am going to talk to each and every one of you, about your roles in a moment, so why don't you go to your respected rooms here, I have talked to your family, and they have sent over a few of your belongings, so they should be in your rooms. Hayato I have gotten you and Bianchi out from the hotel you where staying at, and all of your belongings are in your room, I have personally cheked to it."
The boys in question just stared at Reborn in suprise (yes even Hibari)
Reborn turned to the other in the group.
"Maman, why don't you go familiarise yourself in the kitchen, I have made shure everything is perfect, for such a talented cook, Bianchi. You can get rested up, you look your about to fall over."
Reborn turned to the three young girls in the group. "There is enough space for you here, you can stay the night if you all want to, I have allso contacted all of your parents, so they are awere of where you all are."
And the girls decided on doing just that, Kyoko left with her brother, Hana and Haru, went up toghether with Nana, Bianchi, the other two arcobareno I-pin and Lambo to go and explore (despite Hana's hatred for kids)
And after Hibari, Yamamoto, Hayato and Ryohei had left for their own private quarters, that only left Tsuna, Nyx and Reborn.
Tsuna was silent for close to a hole minute. Turning to the sun arcobareno "Thank you Reborn. You have no idea how much we needed this."
Reborn only smiled. And nodded in aproval. "Get some rest Tsuna, I did promise to talk to your guardians about their roles, and you look to have had enough excitment for one day."
Tsuna gave of a slight chukkle, he couldn't agree more, after a quick good night to Reborn, as he headed for his own elevator, with Nyx close behind, did Reborn move. He knew that Kyoya was at boiling point, with having to crowd for so long, and Ryohei, was with his sister. Hayato, was most likely organizing his stuff, so Reborn moved towards the blue elevator, thinking it was best to get the important one first anyway.
*with Takeshi*
Yamamoto was pacing in his new room, it was just about the same size as Tsunas room. Only that his was on the left side of the hall way while Tsunas was at the end of it.
Yamamotos room was simple, but at the same time not. His room was to the left of Tsuna's room. His bed straight ahead when he opend the door. The elevator was on the left hand side of the bed, and the passage was to the right of it.
The walls had a simple soothing blue color to it, a lot of katanas, hanging on the wall. And wich Takeshi soon found out to be all real.
There where a lot of tranquility feeling to his room. As he rememberd when he had first met Tsuna when they where in preschool, Tsuna had seen right through his act. He had supportet him in his baseball sport, and told him to follow his heart. And what he felt to be right.
It wherent until one day a few years later that Tsuna had invited him home one day, and that they had been ambushed by a thug, that Yamamoto decided to take up the sword, from his old man, he still played baseball for fun, he could never give up on it compleatly. And he was glad that he saw there where a few baseball items in his new room. Even though they where few, he still apreachiated the little things.
Takeshi was about to move onto his suitcase his father had packed for him, when the elevator dors opend with Reborn in it.
"Hi Takeshi, how do you like your new room?"
Reborn said as he walked over to the young teen. "It is amazing, Reborn, it's like you know how my head works or something."
Yamamoto scratched behind his head. "haha not that I ever doubted you or anything."
Reborn only smiled as he jumped onto the boys shoulder.
"In all seriousness though Takeshi, do you know what it means to be a guardian, much less the rain guardian?"
Takeshi could only shake his head, Tsuna had never gotten back to him on describing what a guardian was, seing as Tsuna was still recovering. He didn't want to chanse it, he would get to him when he would get to him. And now it seemed that Reborn is taking the first step.
Reborn understood, and started his explanation.
"You are now going to be Tsunas rain guardian. And knowing Tsuna you are most likely going to be his only one, so stay alive."
Takeshi was glad for the pause Reborn was doing, it gave him time to digest the information.
After noding his head for the arcobareno to continiue, he continued to listen closely. He would do this for Tsuna.
"As for your role in the famiglia, a good example would be when we first met, remember how you came out of your way, just to comfort Tsuna?"
Takeshi noded his head. "Yeah, it is something I usually do for him, I can't really explain it, but his flames just call's out to me sometimes, I have done it for as loong as I can remember."
Reborn nodded his head, in achnowladgment. "That is good, that is basicly what you are going to do, just rake it up, to when not only his flames call out to you, but. I want you to instantly know when to go and when not to go, ignore his flame. And just watch him, Tsuna is currently asleep, I want you to go in there and look at him, do this every time your here. Make shure he is allright you hear me. That is your job."
Takeshi was deep in thoughts. "So basicly you want me to watch over him in his sleep?"
Reborn shook his head. "No Takeshi, in short what I want you to do, is create a sixth sense for when Tsuna need you, flame or not. He is a strong boy, but he bottles up his emotions so strong, that when he do need comfort, it is going to take a while loonger to calm him down, I remember you took close to an hour the first time I saw you. I don't want you to be there when he falls apart, you need to be there before the big flood is spilling over."
The gears in Takeshis head was spinning, he was beginign to understand, watch over Tsuna, look at him closely, so that it becomes secound nature to him.
"Basicly, keep an eye on him, talk to him and be there for him"
Reborn smiled. "That is exactually what I want you to do, unpack your stuff, and stay by the passage door, for about 10 minutes, and make shure he is allright, okey, you need to start somwhere, and in all my time in sleeping in his room, Tsuna is a deep sleeper, but can be easily waken when needed."
Takeshi only noded his head, as he saw the hitman walk out his door. With a newfound determination, he started to unpack, and headed to the passage, to go and watch over his boss.
Reborn was standing in the hallway, looking over to Tsunas room, his student had found some good friends indeed. And Reborn moved over to the room on the oposite side of Takeshi's, It was the door to the right side of Tsuna's Gukuderas room. The boy desperatly wanted to become the Decimo's right hand man, so he made shure that the storm guardian was on the right hand side of the hallway.
As Reborn enterd into the room, he had found Hayato, reading through some music sheets. He had wanted to go and check out the music room down bellow, but waited, because Reborn had said he had wanted to talk to them.
Hayato's room, had a black and redish color to it, the bed was seated at the furthest wall, much like how Takeshis own bed is.
Reborn had tried to keep this room as untouched as he could, he knew that Hayato had a fasination with skulls, and music, so he had placed a few of those into the deign, of a few ornaments and images on the wall. other than that he had given Hayato, everything else, with the exception of the bed and a few other items. Like the bookase and wardrobe.
Hayoto had noticed that Reborn had enterd through the door, so he dropped what he was doing, and walked over to the cursed man.
Reborn just decided to cut to the chase.
"Hayato, do you know your job as a storm guardian is?"
Hayato only simply nodded his head, and replied.
"I am to keep him safe from any harm, be like the storm, and at the senter of the attack"
Reborn nodded again, but again he looked up at the storm guardian. "That is indeed what you are supposed to do, in battle. But what about in every day life, if you are to be his right hand man, as you say you are. You are going to need to be a bit more serious, and not attack everyone you think is a threat to your boss."
Hayato looked taken aback at this. But he listend ither way, to what Reborn had to say.
Reborn continued. "Your job is indeed to keep your boss safe, but only if he needs it, Tsuna is strong. Possibly stronger than you even, wich is good, he is the future boss of Vongola. But you need to keep this in mind, when you go on the ofence."
Reborn took a minute to gather his thoughts, and giving the storm time to catch up on what Reborn is implying, he didn't have to wait loong as Hayato spoke up.
"So Reborn-san you want me to stick to Juudaime and portect him, but not portect him at the same time,"
Reborn nodded his head, Hayato had understood his meaning, stick to Tsuna whenever you can, but don't get to up in his space, give him room and space where he knows he can count on him.
"I want you to stay with Tsuna whenever he is in the middle of working the papers Nono is sending him, I allso want you to be with him, whenever he goes out. If Tsuna asks, tell him it's your duty as his storm."
Reborn hoped Hayato would undrestand the hidden meaning behind this, Reborn didn't have to wonder loong, as he saw Hayatos eyes light up. Basicly what the hidden meaning was, your his right hand, be there whenever his boss is working, so when there is something comming up, so that Hayato can take care of it, so that his boss can handle the important stuff.
Reborn gave a qourt nod to the bomber, as he once more headed to the next guardian.
As Reborn headed to the Sun guardian's room he took note of the lightning's door on the left hand side, and oposite of the sun's door, he had stopped for a moment pondering, what to do about it. Only yesterday, had he and Tsuna had a talk about what to do about the lightning, Tsuna has an amazingly gift when it comes to detecting flames, and telling about the said strength of said flames.
Tsuna had mentioned that Lambo, has a wery big flame core, it hasn't ben refined into proper use, but he has got a potential of becoming something powerfull. At the time Tsuna looked hesistant about it, but he had asked if it was possible for Lambo to become his Lightning. Tsuna didn't know the child as well yet, but he knew that the boy had potential.
Reborn himself had began to ponder if the young bovino child could be a possible candidate, for the lightning guardian possision. For now Reborn discarded the thought, he had to talk further on it with Tsuna.
Reborn headed inside the sun's guardians room, the bed was in the same spot as Hayato's, the color of the walls was a warm and energy filled yellow. Reborn noted that the book case didn't have any books, wich is how it should be Ryohei, needed to ither watch something or do it physically to understand it better. Wich is why reborn had managed to get movies with diffent forms of sports on them, mostly old boxing competition's. And Reborn was going to look forward to when he got to tell Ryohei about the yearly competition that Vongola held each year, with it's allies, and Vongola itself, where we compeated in diffrent moch battles, and sport events.
It might sound childish, but it is a good way of keeping the friendly famiglias close, and keep having a close bond with eachother.
Reborn was smiling when he saw Ryohei puching away at his wery own punching bag, he got in his room. while his sister was seated on his bed keeping a close eye on him, and smiling at his antics.
Reborn made himself known, by jumping onto the punching bag.
"oh Reborn, You finaly like extreamly got up here, I like extremly want to check those training rooms out"
Reborn only smiled As Ryohei grabed a towel his sister was holding out for him.
"Say Ryohei, what does Tsuna mean to you." Reborn had to be sertain he know what he was dealing with, Ryohei was simple minded, so Reborn had to be simple in explaining.
"Sawada, he is an extreme person. I respect him a lot, after all he have killers after him, and I know he is a killer too, but he is extreme calm about it, just hangs out with us. And trains with us, I see him like I see Kyoko."
Reborn knew Ryohei holds his sister high, and that hed most likely die portecting her, if he see's Tsuna like he does Kyoko, Reborn don't have any reason to hold back. As he have the perfect thing to tell him, so he can take his guardian job seriously.
"That is good to know Ryohei, then I can begin by saying, that as a sun guardian, you allready are close on your way, when it comes to your job."
Ryohei looked at Reborn in question. "Job, I have a job?"
Reborn noded his head. "Your job is to make shure Tsuna is safe and healthy. You don't like to see him sad do you?"
"Like hell I do, Tsuna is like an extreme person, I know he takes good care of Kyoko, the two are like extreamly ment for eachother" Kyoko was now blushing red with emberasment, as her brother kept talking.
"Tsuna has helped me with my er eksesuve flame thingey." Kyoko giggled, "Nii-chan you mean exesive flame core." Kyoko now turned to Reborn. "Back in the day when we where younger, Tsu-kun came to us and told us that nii-chan has too much, output for his flames, and it is because he has so much energy, that Tsu-kun was able to help him in maintaining his flames."
Kyoko held a hand at her brother's shoulder while continuing. "It was all thanks to Tsu-kun that he was able to maintain a helthy dosage of his flames."
Ryohei only noded his head in agrement.
Reborn was happy about this, it looked like Tsuna was doing his job as a boss, even loong before he was even a candidate, that and Ryohei is allready way on the way to perfecting his job, as a sun guardian.
"Then Ryohei, You are going to have to become the sun that shines it's light on Tsuna. I am going to give you the job, of whenever you can, talk to him like you would to your, sister. Be there for him like he was going to die the next day, live the day in the now. Ryohei, and you wil make a fine Sun to your Sky."
Ryohei only nodded. Reborn dissmised him and Ryohei along with his sister was out and down the elevator again, to check out the training facility.
Now that the sun was down, he only hoped that Hibari had calmned down enough to talk to him.
Reborn headed towards the wery room next door, and enterd to find similar bed placement, as the others, and he found Hibari had changed out of his uniform. And into his kimono.
Reborn knew Hibari had grown up in a wery religous home. But seing Kyoyas room, finnished like this, gave the hitman a little bit of cold feet, as he enterd the room and sat on his knees in front of Hibari, waiting for him to finnish the tea he was currently drinking.
The room itself has a wery old japanese style to it, Hibari's parents had packed down some sent candles, wich Hibari had lit, and was now flowing freely in the room, giving it a sent of fresh sakura flowers. As Hibari sat the tea cup down onto the short table he motions for Reborn to speak.
"I am here to tell you of your duties as the cloud guardian, of Tsunayoshi Sawada."
Reborn got a qort nod from the prefect, taking it as a sign he continiued.
"You are not obliged to partake in any of the major, or minor gatherings, Tsuna himself has told me you are allowed to choose wether to come or not, though he would prefer it if you would come every now and then, just to be there."
Reborn let the words sink in a bit, as he continiued, with the acctual duty for the cloud.
"Now that your obligations have been gotten out of the way, here are your duties to your sky. You are to make shure your sky is able to take care of himself, spar with him, and fight battles in the name of upholding the name that is Vongola, the strongest and most feared mafia in the history of mafia."
Reborn saw a tint of smugness from the cloud gurdian, but continued.
"As the strongest guardian, you have a reputation to uphold, you may be bound to the sky, but you are still free to roam as you wish, Tsuna has made shure that as i stated earlier, that you can choose wether you would want to join a briefing. But there are times you have to heed your sky's orders, despite this fact."
Kyoya looked a bit anoyed, but before the cloud could act Reborn got ahead of him.
"Those orders, are to be used only in case of an emergency, like if it is a last minute meeting with a possible allie or enemy, or there have been sent a challenge of power between famiglias. If any of those where to be the case, you are needed because of your strenght. There might be a battle, and uneseserily crowding. And if your boss allows it, you are allowed to bite those persons, to death."
Hibari didn't hide his satisfaction. Those are things he could do, he failed once. He is not going to fail again. Reborn noted Hibari was holding onto his left arm, the wery arm those goons had been able to entangle the chain around. leaving behind the chain like structure onto his skin.
Reborn decided to leave the skylark alone. He had other things to deal with at the moment.
One such thing, is a flame factory he had to get a little bit more info on, before he decided to share it with Tsuna.
~VxG~
...omg, I never ment for this chapter to become so loong, my fingers just couldn't stop. my head was just so into this chapter I don't even know where to start.
Anyway, yay it is finally here, the house that has been haunting my mind for as loong as I can remember. For you see this house has been in my mind since before I even posted the prolouge for the story, only thning that changed was that originaly I was going to have one of Fredico's guardians track down Tsuna and managed to bomb the house, leaving Reborn to reveal the house as a suprise.
But I droped it, because I didn't think it would fit well with the Fredrico I am trying to portrail, Yes he is cunning, but he is in the mafia. And a big exsplosion would just seem unlikely.
Yay you get backstory from me, and I have good news, my beta is getting a little better on her end, so she is allmost ready to start betaing my stories again. look forward to when she is back 100% though, I am still going to update the stories as they are, and let her beta them at her own pace. Hang in there Tyarro I got your back.
Oh and go chack out her stories why don't you, she is amazing and she herself is looking for betas, for her stories. Oh and do please tell me what you think of this chapter in a comment. It is really facinating to read these things. And thank you whoever it was that sent me that japanese education, it was really nice. But I like to call Baka-Byak, for Baka-Byak, thanx anyway though.
Anyway, thank you for reading this story, and I'll see you all in the next chapter. This is VxG writing out, see ya.
