Chapter 27: Drag You Back.
Yukime's POV
What kind of stupid joke is this? Me and Ryuuren, and Giotto and Alaude. This must be some kind of sick joke. Moreover, it's the last fight. What on earth? "Yuki-san…" Ryuuren murmurs. "I don't-!" Before I can say my objections on the microphone, Giotto had already interferes. "The Vongolas accepts!" I clenched my fist.
"Hime… we have no choice. No matter how much you hate it… and of course I hate it too." Said Antonio. "Antonio-kun…" I sighed. Ryuuren sighs as well. We sink to his shadow and reappear on the center of the yard. I nod, and I hope Oji-sama understands, and in fact, he did.
Giotto and Alaude jumped to the center of the yard.
"As promised, I'll drag you back to Vongola, Yukime."
Ryuuren stands in front of me protectively. "Ryuuren, no." I scold him. "Hime…" He sighs again. Both of us are too hateful to do this fight. While the opposite of us, Giotto and Alaude looked thrilled. Well, I'm never good at deciphering Alaude's facial expression; so, I guess he might be thrilled. I inhale and exhale again, again, and again. My heart feels like it's going to burst!
Truths to be told, I'm not in a perfect condition. My flames are drained earlier. Rejecting G-dono's wounds took more flames and powers than I predicted. Onii-sama's flames didn't help as much. Rain-class flames takes long before it can be converted to snow-class flames. My earth-flames aren't helping much either. Like Claire said on our breakfast earlier, being an incolore is surprisingly draining than the usual flame-bearer.
"Are you ready, Yukime-chan? Please unsheathe your sword." Said Giotto in an unbelievably calm tone. I split my tsurugi to a twin nodachi. My two flames burst. "Let's go, Ryuuren." Ryuuren took out his 'Flame-Operated-Fiamma Chainsaw" It can be shadow, cut your shadow and inflict real pain. A fearful weapon.
"Let's fight the fairest!" Said Giotto.
"Hmph!" Alaude scoffed and took put his chainsaw and his modified warden-club.
"Take care of us." Ryuuren bows.
I gulped and laugh nervously. "Let's give it our best."
Vongola's POV
[Giotto's]
Alaude is so thrilled of this fight. He never had a chance in fighting Yukime before, or takes her snow attacks head on. "The fight between Spazio Famiglia's Guardian of Shadow, Yamamoto Ryuuren and, Guardian of Earth, Asari Yukime, versus, Vongola Famiglia's Guardian of Cloud, Alaude and, Guardian of Sky, Giotto del Vongola. Begin!"
As I expected, Alaude charges to Yukime first. Yukime blocked Alaude's club with her swords. She drives him back and points her snow-coated sword to him. "Esplosione di Neve! Blast of Snow!" Snow bursts from her sword repeatedly. "Shigure Souen Ryuu, Snow Style seventh stance: Odoroita no Yuki! Snow of Surprise!" With the swing of her another sword, a slash of condensed snow came raging to Alaude's direction.
I covered the irritated Alaude with my mantle. From the shadow of my mantle, Ryuuren burst through and cuts the shadow of Alaude's hand. Surprisingly, Alaude's real hand was cut at the same place. Alaude didn't shout and throws his handcuff to Ryuuren's direction. He immediately disappears. "Good job, Ryuuren." Said Yukime, and Ryuuren appears right from her shadow.
"I gotta say thanks to Claire for creating such nice trees."
Alaude clicked his tongue and his club bursts with cloud flames. He charges forward again skillfully. Yukime was the one who stepped forward and took care of him. If it weren't for their weapons swung hard at each other, you might see them as dancing.
"I don't want to lose my spotlight either, let's go!" Ryuuren charged forward to me.
Guanto di Vongola!
My brand-new gauntlet showed up and I clenched my fists. I use my hyper intuition to predict his moves. But, he managed to swing his chainsaw undetected. I use my flame to fly. Why? My hyper intuition didn't catch him. It was supposed to capture everything as long as it's a living thing. "There's no meaning if you just fly you know?" He changes his weapon to a traditional bow and arrow.
He carefully shoots me with his arrow. I fly around to see the surroundings. If my hyper intuition didn't catch him, it means that the Ryuuren I'm fighting now isn't a living thing. I look the furthest tree and notice a silver glint there. I fly there and hit whatever that was there. Burning Axle!
"UWAAAAAH!"
There are two voices that shouted. The first one is near me, at the furthest tree, and another is beside Yukime and Alaude's fighting arena. "La Cancellazione di Ombra! Cancellation of Shadow!" The voice near me shouted and his shadow that I was fighting earlier returns to its original body.
"Smart move!" I commented easily.
"Of course. You know what Vongola Primo? If only you weren't a Vongola, I think I might actually worship you!"
"How flattering!"
We clashed our fists and chainsaws.
Yukime's POV
His movements gradually become faster. No, it is I who has become slower. "Shigure Souen Ryuu, Snow Style first stance: Shajiku no Yuki! Axle of Snow"Alaude easily evades and I reinforce gravity around me. I murmur to the ground. "Terremoto: La Vendetta della Terra! Earthqake: Revenge of the Land!" As I command, the earth shakes. Alaude jumps to a tree and held on tight to its stem.
"It's you… You're the one who's on the tree right now. Even though you said to me that it's dangerous and all…"
My earth and snow flame slowly fades. Gee, if only I hadn't save G-dono… I would be stronger than I am now. But in the same time, he will die. And Onii-sama will be saddened. The opposite of the resolve I have to light my snow-flames, so that Ugetsu nii-sama doesn't have to be saddened. I have to bury G-dono's mistakes. It's the reason why I, Asari Yukime, exist as the Guardian of Snow, and also the main purpose of the Snow Ring itself.
As I realize this, I faintly smiled. As for my earth flames, it first emerges because I want to have stronger power… Stronger to protect Vongola Famiglia from Yamamoto clan. I treasure Spazio, I really do. But, the main reason why 'Asari Yukime' is involved with the mafias… is her dedication to the Vongola Famiglia.
"It's my loss, Alaude. I can't… win* against any Vongola member…"
I fell down. Alaude chained my feet to his handcuffs. "EH?" He drags me. "I told you I'll drag you back to Vongola." Said Alaude in a coolly tone. "Hi…me!" Ryuuren shows up with Giotto. From the looks of their wounds, it seems that they fought on par with each other. "I… both of us came to a conclusion. If the Spazio ally ourselves with the Vongolas. It won't be any problem. You can be our boss while burying mistakes of Vongola Guardians."
Alaude continues to drag me. "I want that to happen!" I smiled.
"I'm sorry Hime, I'm off to say some things to the others!" Ryuuren disappears within his own shadow.
Vongola's POV
[Giotto's]
I stayed on the yard. Aside the fact that Ryuuren is a brat, he's awesome in fighting and everything. "We win, Spazio Terzo Famiglia! Therefore, we will take our Guardian of Snow back!" I declared. "No, this is outrageous! That girl's power has been drained for the sake of your Guardian of Storm!" Said an old man.
"A deal is a deal. Whatever the circumstances are!"
The Terzo Famiglia members jumped to the yard.
"The Spazio will continue, and Asari Yukime will be our leader!"
"Hard-headed!"
The door opened and the Quarto Guardians of Spazio Famiglia, including Carlos and Bianca, barged in. "Hime, wants to be with the Vongola without abandoning us. Ryuuren have explained everything, and we liked, and agree to the proposal!" Said Carlos. "Really, Father. But, Hime's happiness is also important for the future Spazio Famiglia." Said Jared easily to his father.
Flashback, a few minutes ago.
"You have to agree, Jared. It's easier for us to keep the secret from Hime if we expand our Famiglia."
"I agree, then. But, if the secret is found out by the Vongolas… You'll see what I do, Ryuuren."
"I promise. But… I don't think it'll be long before she knows…"
"Shut up, Ryuuren! As long as it's not us who spoil the secret, the Spazio will not come to harm!"
"Then… you agree of the Alliance?"
"Yeah… I'll tell the others to agree as well."
Flashback ends
"Insolent kids!"
"Oh shut up, worn out tree. This is what our boss wishes! As long as she didn't abandon us, I don't see anything wrong, Barakiel Pianta-san!" Said Claire cheerfully.
My healthy Guardians, and Lampo also joined the party.
"No choice, come at us younglings of Vongola and Quarto! You'll see how frightening our experience is!"
Finished! Please review~~! If I were to use Japanese, when Yukime says 'win' I will use the Kanji of 'kill'. The whole sentence means she cannot kill any Vongola member. That's all.
Bye-bee~!
