Summary: It has been 4 years since Tsuna and his guardians left Namimori, and the time for them to inherit the position as Vongola Tenth Generation are near, but unexpected visitors from the future come. A sequel of 'Consistency of a Choice'.
Hi everybody, this is chapter 13 of this story. Thank you to those who review and favourite the previous chapter. I hope you like this chapter.
"You have to make a choice. Do you fight, or do you keep your head down? Do you put your chin up and your eyes to the sky, or do you tremble like the aspen leaves and contemplate throwing yourself in the fast-flowing river at the bottom of the garden? Or is there, I asked myself, a way to do both? Can you be two people - someone to fool them, and also someone who is not a fool to yourself? Can you live like that?"
Julie Mayhew (The Big Lie)
Previous Chapter. Principessa di Vongola.
"What is it, Tsuna?" Reborn asked.
Tsuna looked at his tutor in confusion. "I can feel that the wall was constructed with mist, but it has a sky attribute. It numbed my finger when I touch it. How can it be?"
Reborn narrowed his eyes in thought. "Either it is a new technology or a new ability in the future."
"Do you have any idea about how to destroy it, Reborn-san?" Hayato asked.
"Not yet, but we will find out."
"Yes, we will." Tsuna looked determinedly at the two figures inside the arena.
Chapter 13. The Ring Battle.
Suzuran looked around the arena frantically.
"There is no way out, Suzuran." Suiren informed him.
He looked at Suiren pleadingly. "Will you stop this, please?"
Suiren sighed. "Do we need to do this again?"
Suiren raised her right hand. Orange flames materialized in her hand, It formed into a dart.
"Will you start this fight?" Suiren asked.
"No." Suzuran refused.
"I will count to ten. If you don't attack me, then I will stab myself until I die." She said seriously.
Suzuran looked at her in horror. "WHAT! Why are you doing this?"
"I told you. I wouldn't be able to live peacefully until I settle this matter. So, make up your mind, Suzuran."
Suzuran looked at Tsunayoshi, who looked at him grimly. But, he nodded at Suzuran.
"1" "2" "3"
Suzuran turned at her in surprise. She was counting too fast.
"4" "5" "6"
Suzuran took out his foldable staff hurriedly.
"7" "8" "9"
Suiren moved the dart to her heart.
"10"
Suiren would have bleeding if not because Suzuran stopped the dart with his staff. They looked at each other in the eyes. Suzuran was frowning and was in hyper dying will mode. Suiren was impressed that he could get into hyper mode under pressure.
She smirked at him and would have stabbed his shoulder. But, Suzuran realized her intention and move away from her.
"Were you tricking me?" Suzuran asked in disbelief.
"I was being serious," Suiren said nonchalantly. "But, this is still a battle. I just took an opportunity to defeat you. That's all."
Suiren raised her left hand. She materialized another dart.
"Don't tell me you're going to stab yourself again?" Suzuran narrowed his eyes.
Suiren chuckled. "No, but I do plan to stab you." And she threw those darts.
Suzuran dodged the fast projectiles easily. He focused on Suiren again. His eye widened to see countless darts was heading to him with incredible speed.
He dodged as much as he can and blocked those that he could not dodge with his staff.
The same thing happened for ten minutes. Even the spectators looked bored with the battle, except with the changeable weathers. Though, inwardly they were worried because Suzuran was starting to look tired, while Suiren still looked fine.
After he dodged the last dart. Suzuran took a breath. "Is that all you're going to do? Throwing darts at me?"
Suzuran slammed his staff to the ground in frustration. "You haven't even moved from that spot."
Suiren snorted. "Well, come to get me then."
Suzuran looked annoyed. He ran toward her while coating his staff with orange flames. He moved to attack her shoulder.
Suiren blocked it with a dart. Suzuran then moved to attack her from below. But, she jumped to avoid his attack.
While mid-air, Suiren materialized another dart and threw it at him. Suzuran moved back to avoid it.
Tsuna and Reborn watched them exchange blows, while Hayato was examining the arena.
"What do you think, Tsuna?"
"About what?"
"The fight."
"Suiren is taunting Suzuran."
Reborn grunted in agreement.
"But, why would she do that?" Tsuna asked in confusion.
"It might be to throw Suzuran off," Reborn said. "Suzuran hyper mode is still new. He couldn't focus on his fight, while he was angry."
"We all know that Suzuran hates being underestimated," Reborn added.
Tsuna looked at the fight thoughtfully. He was unconvinced that was the reason why Suiren made Suzuran angry.
Suzuran gritted his teeth. None of his attacks was able to graze Suiren. He clenched his fists in frustration.
Suiren smirked in amusement. Her expression did it. Suzuran finally snapped.
He narrowed his orange eyes. His whole body was coated with his orange flames. And Suzuran flew to attack her.
No one saw Suiren smirked widen.
Suzuran was faster. Suiren did not have time to materialized another dart. She had to block his staff with her hand. Suzuran's flames burn her hand.
Suzuran moved away from her in surprised. "Are you all right?" He asked in worried.
Suiren raised her eyebrows. "Congratulations! You finally hurt me." She did not seem to mind her burned hand.
"Can you continued to fight with a burned hand?" He looked at her worriedly.
Suiren snorted. "A burned hand isn't the worse injury I ever got, Suzuran. Don't get cocky now. We're just starting after all."
He looked at her grimly. "All right."
Suiren called on more bigger flames than before. It materialized in her hands. It was not darts.
The spectators did a double take. She materialized knives. More specifically, floating knives.
"Don't tell me that Belphegor trained you!" Hayato shouted.
Suiren smirked at him. "Well, the Varia and I are in a good term after all. Because we both hate the Decimo."
Suiren looked at Suzuran and smiled wickedly. "Dodge these."
Suzuran was panicked to see a dozen knives were flying at him. He tried to dodge them, but they still managed to cut him. Even when the weathers was supposed to slow them down
Suzuran looked at her. He saw her moving her hands just like the knives.
"You control the knives!" Suzuran exclaimed.
Suiren chuckled. "No matter how much you try to dodge, my knives will always cut you."
Suzuran was getting tired from dodging. He raised his staff and blocked the knives with it. With his staff, he tried to throw the knives away from her field of influence.
"That was smart, Suzuran." Suiren looked at the knives that fell on the ground far away from her.
Suiren raised her hands. "Unfortunately for you, I could just make more." Some new knives materialized in her hands.
Suzuran groaned in frustration and tiredness. "This is useless."
Suiren raised her eyebrows. "Haven't you learn anything from this fight?"
He narrowed his eyes. "This isn't a fight at all. You're just playing with me."
She shook her head. "Tsk, tsk. You're right. This isn't a fight at all. After all, I have been only using my flames to attack you."
Suzuran seemed to realize something. He looked at her with wide eyes. He saw another dozen of knives flew at him.
Suzuran spun his staff around. His flames appeared around it. When the knives reached it, they got burnt and vanished.
Suzuran looked surprised at the vanished knives. Then, he heard laughter. He looked at Suiren to see she was laughing.
"Good Suzuran. It's about time you realize that you can only fight flames with flames." Suiren explained.
Suzuran glared at her. "Suiren, stop playing with me!"
Suiren did not answer. She only looked at him intently. Suddenly, her body was surrounded by orange flames.
"As you wish. I am done playing with you." Suiren said seriously. "Prepare yourself, Suzuran. Soon, you will wish that I never stop playing."
I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fan fiction.
