Chapter Eleven
I slowly awoke as the sun's rays gently ran up my petite body. My hair looked messy; much like a duck's butt. I chuckled and slowly glided out of my room to the bathroom door. My usual routine started and I brushed my teeth. I slowly sniffed my arm and winced. The musky odor fumed off of my body, so I decided to take a quick, yet relaxing shower.
After five minutes, I emerged out of the steamy smoke and sighed. I quickly brushed my hair, which now grew half an inch past my shoulder, and analyzed my outfit. I wore a light green sleeveless hoodie with a white T-shirt under it, with an addition of black shorts that reached to my knees. I adjusted my clothes to make them more even and stepped out of the, now moist, bathroom.
Quickly, I walked past my room and slowly knocked on Tsuna's door. "Hello, Deci-, I mean Tsuna, are you in there?" A complete silence emerged and I busted in the room. The mini earthquake startled a certain cow-styled boy and tears the size of medium-sized rocks formed and hit the floor. I rolled my eyes and walked to the five-year-old Lambo. Silently, I hugged him, and he once again fell asleep.
As soon as Lambo fell asleep, I quickly searched the room to see that both Reborn and Tsuna were not present. My fragile hands ruffled clothes, searched closets, under big tables, and even under beds. I sighed and groaned: where was Tsuna and Reborn now? Suddenly, I slapped the palm of my hand against my forehead and smiled.
My feet quickly pitter-pattered in the hallways as I ran into the kitchen; seeing that Tsuna and Reborn were not in the living room. I frantically greeted everyone a "Good Morning" and bowed. Green eyes scarily searched the kitchen to see that the ones I was looking for were not there.
"Nana, have you seen Tsuna or Reborn yet?" I asked. Gingerly, I sat down in my usual seat in the table, which was next to Fuuta, and ate rather calmly knowing that the situation is quite heavy. Nana smiled, yet she shook her head, telling me that I should check in his room. "Where could Decimo possibly be at an important time like this?" I huffed, quickly remembering that I had to explain that to him.
After finishing my food, I walked back in the hallway to Tsuna/Reborn's room. I saw that Lambo, who had also finished his food, ate a bag of juicy grape candy. "I can't believe I'm doing this," I mumbled.
"Lambo, have you seen Tsuna around here?" I bent my knees down.
"Nope, yesterday ….Tsuna grabbed the bazooka…. and then he poofed away!" Lambo said in-between bites. My eyes widened quite a distance and I gently pulled the Ten-Year Bazooka out of Lambo's hair. Without being noticed, I slipped in halfway and a rather small boom rang in my ears, then suddenly everything went black.
T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T
I slowly grumbled and opened my eyes, to see that I was dropped near Namimori Shrine. "Well, if it isn't Mayumi? You could have come sooner." Lampo yawned tiredly. My face was full of shock as I was surrounded by Primo, Lampo, and the other guardians.
"Are you alright? Here let me help you up, Mayumi." Knuckle smiled as he steadied my balance. I furrowed my brows and asked,
"What are you doing here? I'm quite confused, Giotto." I faced the blond man's direction.
"Primo said that your orders are now scheduled for later. Decimo is now currently in battle, as you can see." G replied seriously. A wave of G's hand and an image of Decimo appeared. He was in a purple-colored ball trying to pry out. I nodded.
"Ah, the test, I see. Many of the others had different tests, this one is quite unusual." I smiled. The other guardians nodded as the image ripped and disappeared. Slowly we vanished and emerged in the room Tsuna was currently training in.
"He passed the test. I must go now, take care." Primo gently whispered as a Sky Flame quickly took his face. The guardians nodded and waited until Primo was done. The speech took quite a long time, longer than the others have had, but none the less Primo had quickly arrived back and the purple-colored ball was cracked into tiny pebble-like pieces.
"We must take out leave. It was nice to see you again Mayumi. We'll leave the rest to you." Asari Ugetsu smiled and the guardian disappeared. Slowly, my figure materialized and I stood in front of the entrance, smiling happily. Heads and eyes turned to my direction as I approached in a rather disturbing way.
"Hi Decimo, it seems that you have earned your gloves." I smiled. Everyone looked at me suspiciously, and I shook my head. "Hibari-Sempai, you should know about this. Decimo had told you a few years back, right? Tell everyone in here, that I need to speak to Tsuna privately." I spoke rather harshly. The former prefect smirked and gestured his hands for everyone to head out the door. Once everyone was out I sighed and glanced at Decimo, a face full of confusion stared back at me.
"Mayumi, what are you doing here? And what are you talking about?" Tsuna said while still in his hyper mode.
"I simply got in the Ten-Year Bazooka, and I will explain this to you now. You must understand that this is real. I have done this for ages."
"I promise to listen and believe you."
I cleared my throat and began talking, slowly Tsuna's face turned into one with pain and despair.
"For Ten Generations, I have been a Guardian simply guiding Vongola Bosses to success, or their ideal Boss. Long ago, I have been assigned as the 'Guardian of Time' or Moon by Vongola Primo. The Moon Flame had the power to time travel, much similar but also different to this. Primo also assigned me to a mission, one where I must lead Vongola to success. Each Vongola Boss, had past my expectations and Primo's with flying colors! But it might be best to show you then explain." I finished talking and lit my Moon Flame. Black darkness filled the room, and images seeped into Tsuna's brain.
T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T
"I am aware that you can time travel, Mayumi." Giotto smiled. I nodded. At that time, Vongola was held in a run-down factory. We were not yet known as Vongola, but we were a group that was quite famous. A younger version of Vongola Primo's guardians were shown sitting down on the dirty floor, talking about my Flame.
"This could be useful. How did you find out, Mayumi?" G asked. His messy red hair attached to his face as rain quickly pattered on the hole filled roof. I cleared my throat and began to talk.
"I was asleep in my room last month. And suddenly, I awoke from a bad dream. I was wearing the ring, as usual, and then all of a sudden it started to glow. A pain slipped to my throat and I stopped breathing. The next thing I knew was that I was standing in a sandbox with a little G and Giotto building sand castles. In a flash, it was over and I was on my bed again. After that time, I started to get better at controlling the Flame." I explained. G and the rest of the guardians nodded.
"Perhaps, you could go into the future?" Asari tilted his head. I nodded, but I was unsure. Only vague images of us were what I could see.
"Yes, but they take much more effort to control." I frowned. Giotto nodded and said,
"Perhaps, in the future, I will tell you. Try to train harder; I will have a mission for you in about two years, Alaude will be of assistance."
Two Years Later
"You have become exceptionally strong Mayumi, the mission, will now be assigned." A much older version of Giotto sat in a luxurious room. I nodded as he handed me a piece of paper. Skimming through the contents, I gasped and tears slipped through my eyes. Giotto frowned and gave a painful smile.
"Giotto, as much as I would want to follow orders. I would not want to leave you, or the others." I yelped. The paper was crumpled and dropped on the ground as I felt a warm embrace. Giotto's hands slowly stroked my hair as I cried; I was not willing to except the mission.
"Mayumi, I am begging you to do this. Get as much information as you can from the future bosses. Disguise yourself and do not let anyway no your true form. Change your personality and treat the bosses well." He released his hold and backed away. A confident smile formed on my red face and I nodded.
"I will do as you say, Primo." I bowed and disappeared from sight as everything blurred.
T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T~T
Tsuna's delicate face was now filled with a feeling I cannot describe. "I hope you understand. My deepest apologizes for not telling you all this time, Decimo. I hope that you can accept me." I bowed.
"O-of course Mayumi, even if I saw that, I didn't care if you were…. well, I can't really explain it, but who cares! You're also my Guardian too!" Tsuna smiled. My eyes closed as tears slid out slowly. Tsuna started to overreact and I laughed. Tsuna, a boy whose heart is as warm as fire, will be an exceptional boss.
Hi everyone, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. I hope that the explanation isn't too vague! Sorry, if the whole Time Travel thing was stupid/weird. This was shorter than the other chapter, but also one of the longest I have done. Review!
Oh! And I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, but I do own Mayumi Kiyomizu, my Oc.
