It's been a year since I first met Tsunayoshi.
I've joined Namimori's school system, and I've helped Tsuna get better grades. Hibari practically stalks me, and... I've met Fon.
Lord, was that meeting terrifying.
The fanfics I've read made me think that he would be this cool, calm man.
Hahahahahahaha.
Yeah.
Fuck no.
I was dashing away from, and hiding from Hibari after noticing him multiple times following me. Lurking in the shadows like the damn creepy bastard he is when I was clothesline by him.
Do you wanna know how scary it is to be running from the Demon of Namimori, only to have a fucking baby version and the dickhead clothesline you, and stand on your chest whilst the other asshole was running towards you guys? Fon was fucking smiling.
SMILING.
In a panic, I thought the Hibari had somehow shrunk and gotten ahead of me before logic caught up with me.
Do you want to know how terrifying it is? As I was hearing Hibari's footsteps get closer I tried to get up.
You want to know what Fon fucking did?
He hit a pressure point and I fucking flopped back to the ground, paralyzed to hell, and the bastard was still smiling like the creepy-ass shit he was.
Wanna know what they did? It had me in tears, as Hibari fucking punted the Arcobaleno off me and into the damn sunset.
I'm sorry, but WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM.
He- he flew.
It was almost silent too. It was kinda peaceful as well, watching him soar off into the sunset, and then the next thing I hear is:
"Hn. He better not of caused anything by attacking you."
It's scary, Hibari being nice to me.
But it's only because I somehow fuck shit up in Namimori whenever I get hurt. Like, what the actual hell?
You're kidding me.
NOpe.
NOPE.
GOD. AHHHHHH.
I wish I was lying.
A bully (and their friends), pissed I was friends with Tsunayoshi, had decked me while I was off-guard (I suffered the consequences for getting hit by a civvie from Takami, the smiley bastard). Simultaneously, a shop's shelf fell (with no possible causes) and caused roughly $800 worth of both damages and broken products. I offered to pay for it, but then I was given a threatening smile from Fon, Mama Hibari, Hibari-sama, and Hibari-san himself.
I was panicked and just shut up.
Anyways, after saying that, Hibari looked down on me with this creepy ass hell smile.
He said something like "So why were you running?"
It was like my doom was imminent.
Okay, but speed running through the news, I made up with Luka, Tsuna's thousand-yard stare when he looks at me has gotten worse, and honestly, I miss my Mom.
Everyone, including me, has been busy. I haven't seen Mom face-to-face in a while. While we're on summer break, I think I might bring Tsuna back to the complex.
"Hey, mama Nana~"
Nana giggles, looking up from the cutting board. "Back from school with Tsu-kun?"
"Yep!" I chirp, hearing Tsuna trudge in behind me.
"I-" he pants, "-don't get-" he takes a few more steps forward, "-how you run so fast."
I level him an unamused look. "That's because I still manage to find time to exercise Mr. Excuses."
He glares at me. "Don't call me that."
"I'll stop calling you that when you stop with the excuses." He gets this frustrated look in his eyes, and my heart suffers a slight pang of sadness.
He's not seeing me anymore.
I sigh and look back to Nana, who has pulled out a teapot.
She gives me a tired smile. Like she's saying "What can we do?"
I hold my forehead and groan. "Tsunayoshi," he tenses up slightly. "how'd you managed to get the easy ones wrong and the hard ones right?"
His stare appears again, and this time it's filled with confusion and anger.
"Helloooo? Tsunayoshi?"
He blinks out of it. "I dunno. I guess I thought more on the hard ones then the easy ones?"
I stare before pulling out the practice book. "Guess we're doing some more, then huh?"
It's his turn to groan and he pulls out his pencil.
"Now then, explain it to me step by step as you do it, Tsunayoshi..."
I sip from my coffee, staring blankly at the piles of paperwork that quite literally appeared overnight.
I turn ground me to see Jincho look nervously away, and to see Itsuki scratch the back of his head.
"How on Earth did you do this, you two."
Both Jincho and Itsuki nervously laugh, Jincho twirling her finger around each other.
Aoi walks into the room with another load of paperwork.
"They messed up the billing address for a few compounds in the Baltic states and so now we are getting allll of their paperwork now. Somehow, they managed to get by with the thing they had until recently, when a Famiglia decided to attack a base in Sweden. Let's just say, the refuges were nervous."
I cringe. "We have phone service back. Why didn't they tell us via the phone?"
"They, ah." Aoi stops, a grin on his face.
It widens to something malicious, a glint of rage in his eyes, "They didn't think to."
I let out a breath before smacking myself in the face.
"Have them then go through protocol- all of it-, and then basics."
"Even the Heads?" Aoi questions, a fake-curious look on his face, almost completely hiding his glee.
I struggle to not smile, the revenge- I mean, the discipline already tasting sweet. "Even the Heads."
Aoi smiles, walking out the door. "I have some work to do~ Dumbasses- I mean idiots- I mean, virtues to call~"
I walk over to my desk and lean on it, facing the door where Itsuki and Jincho are. I wait a bit before finally opening my eyes.
They are sweating and look vaguely pleading. A part of me hurts to believe they are reacting like this whilst another is sadistically pleased.
I point at them. "For not noticing the lack of paperwork, and for not noticing your mess up in time, you guys get to help me do allll of this paperwork."
They let out a sigh of relief. "Jincho, you're on organizing duty. Itsuki, you get to play fill-in-the-blank."
"And remember," I say, a glint in my eyes, "No skimping out of the work."
They let out another sigh of relief.
What the fuck did they think I was going to do to them?!
Signing off on yet another piece of wonderful, lovely, paperwork, I feel a poke on my cheek.
I look over to see my Arcobalenos and have a human malfunction.
My mine races, a thousand thoughts, a thousand feelings, and I finally settle on Joy when Verde speaks up.
"I've been looking into it, and I managed to hook an appointment with Talbot."
I blink, my heart soaring.
Skull grins. "He's allowing Me and Verde, and one more person to visit."
My pulse races as i look over both of them with wide eyes.
They both smirk and in unison say "We're bringing you along."
I crash momentarily and come back to with tears in my eyes. Throwing myself at them, I withhold some of them as I squeal.
I lean back into a sitting position, thrilled beyond belief.
"I'm so proud of you two! When is it!?"
"Today!" Skull chirps.
I pause and level the two a look.
"Showers, now. We have to figure out how the fuck to get to Italy in time."
A hear chains rattle behind me, Verde giving me this vaguely smug look.
I slowly turn around to see the Vindice.
There is Jaeger,,,,,,, and Bermuda.
What the actual fuck.
Cyka Blyat.
I'm vaguely fucking related to the Leader of the Vindice?
Holy shit?
Why did no one tell me?
How come I never found out?
Someone help me?
I stare into the distance, vaguely feeling the weights if the various Arcobalenos hanging onto me.
The feeling of my stomach going "sudygvfouP;NEVPLbnDIPVCHoguDEVPhjodv;p" is the only thing at this point that I can't ignore.
I drag the urge to vomit to the back of my mind as we approach the small little cottage.
The door is opened by Talbot, the old, seemingly blind man himself. He beckons us in with his hands and I lead us all in, including Jaeger. I look around at this small room, eyes momentarily pausing on the crystal orb, before going to Talbot himself.
He turns and points us to a couch. He sits in an armchair that faces towards the couch. Sitting on it, it's surprisingly soft. Talbot begins off, "So I hear you have a plan you replace the current Arcobaleno system? Verde and Skull jump down to my lap, and Bermuda drops in a way that he lands cradled in my arms. There's a little bit of an annoyed aura coming from the two on my lap, but it quickly disappears. "Yes, in fact it would need little no interference and would not require any more sacrifices," says Verde.
Talbot nods, "So why come to me?"
Verde subtly pokes my waist.
I sit up a little bit higher, staring at where Talbot's eyes are, aka his blindfold.
"You, as a master metalsmith, capable of repairing the Vongola Rings, are the one we believe sole able to create what is required."
"Ho? And what is that, little missy?"
"Whilst we have no clue how to ourselves, we need to you to create containers, preferably something like a jar, for each individual pacifier."
Talbot raises an eyebrow. "You can get jars anywhere."
Opening my mouth, and complete the request. "It ends to be able to withstand the forces of night flames, as for them to work, the pacifiers spin at the speed of light, both slowing time down for them and generating enough power to sustain the pacifier."
His eyebrows go down and he rubs his chin. "Yes, yes, that sounds like something difficult to make."
I quietly let out a sigh of relief and Jaeger's hand go up to my head, rubbing the back of it softly.
"But how do you know it'll both work, and that I can make the jars in time?"
The relief previously in my system floods out, being replaced by calm panic.
A feminine sounding whisper floats into my ear. "Calm down. I believe you can do it."
The feeling of panic becomes muted.
"Have you heard of the time-space continuum and reincarnation?"
Talbot tilts his head.
I can practically hear the boss music, man.
"The time-space continuum is the idea that time and space are connected. Going down that route of thought, I'd like to speak of something called Time Dilation. It is the idea that the faster you go, the less time effects you."
"So, by speeding up how fast the pacifiers are moving, the less flames are needed to sustain them?"
I grin. "Yessir, and the flames necessary are generated by creating an infinity loop within the car itself. Think of it also as being within the time-space continuum."
I take a breath, losing my smile in order to display a more serious outlook.
"The faster an object moves, the less time you have to see it. Meaning we can't see the speed of light. But, that is us."
"Considering my last few thought about Time Dilation it seems completely possible to slow something down so slow, that it can exist for eternity."
"And with the pacifiers moving through time so slowly, they barely absorb any of the produced flames." Talbot murmurs, slowly grinning.
"What a brilliant theory." If I could see his eyes, i'm sure they would be glinting in excitement. "How about we put it the test?"
Breath gets stuck in my throat.
"Wait... but you mentioned reincarnation."
I hide my shuddering inhale as best I can. "Yes."
I close my eyes as I begin. "I was brought here from a different universe. I only have one clue as to why: To stop the game that has gone on for too long. I've already figured out what means, but I have a feeling it's not all of what it is supposed to mean."
"I'm supposed to kill this... immortal woman obsessed killing with those gifted with my abilities."
"Hoh?"
I open my eyes, letting my little-used powers flow to my eyes.
I'm sure they are glowing, and I'm sure my symbol, three dots, has appeared.
"I am a Peace. The leader of the Virtues." I sigh, looking down before looking back up.
"I have no idea why she targets us, but she has caused all of my predecessors' deaths."
"But, along with this, I have known this universe far before I was a twinkle in my Mother's eyes. Through a medium, I learned about a single person's life and how they affected the world around them."
Talbots asks quietly, "And who exactly is this person?"
I smile, "You'll learn in a year or two."
He shakes his head, "Little lady, it's coming close to night in Japan. Why don't you head back home?"
I nod and he stands up. My elements jump back to my shoulders and I hand Bermuda to Jaeger. Through his strangely expressive bandages, I spot a pout. Shaking my head incredulously, I stand up and we leave the cottage, waving back to Talbot as he nods and closes the door.
After teleporting home, through nausea I hear Verde say "I never knew that you knew so much about such things".
Kneeling on the ground, cupping my mouth, I look over to Verde and respond with "Well, of course, I do. When you end up in a different universe you kinda get this urge to figure out why. Let's just say science didn't seem to have my answers no matter what I did.
HOLY FUCK MAN
Jesus fucking Christ. I have no idea where I got all that, and I think I might've bullshited half of that, but I'm not lying about Time Dilation. Time moves slower on earth then in outer space due to gravity/orbital speeds.
I had to check to make sure that in the time frame that this is happening, Time Dilation was known, and to my surprise, it was actually coined sometime in the early 1900s.
Seriously though, that whole thing really fucked me up writing.
I'd like to give thank to this one movie with Morgan Freeman says that the brain doesn't work at normal capacity (total bullshit) and then the MC fucking turns into a plant whilst pulling this "I am God" thing because her brain is working at 100% 'cause some drugs/chemicals that babies make to promote growth or some shit got into her bloodstream 'cause she was supposed to smuggle it somewhere but it got opened in her gut or something. There were also the Triads, I think. I'm just thinking about a bunch of Asian-looking angry people or something.
The chick, while pulling that "I am god" thing, says/shows how if you speed up a clip of a car moving it fucking disappears because the brain can't register it or some bullshit like that. That was what helped me likely bullshit the fuck out of why the flames last forever/produce enough energy to sustain the pacifiers. I think I read a fanfic somewhere that was R27 I think, and there was this one part where there was a shit ton of vines because Mukuro and it was kinda like SAO? That part kept on playing in my head because a character was like "And that's how we'll do blank".
But i think something bad happened because big boi reborn had to snipe someone. I think it was Reborn. Might've been Tsuna.
Shout out to whoever figures out what the movie/fanfic my word vomit came from lololol
Wanna rewatch/read it lol
ANyyyyywwaaayyys, thank you all for reading this mess of a story, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
(pls review. I do nothing but I have an entire folder of reviews from all- I love them so much 3)
I have a poll up for a (possibly) interactive story I'm planning on making. You get to choose the length and how the MC reacts to stuff (major decisions). I've yet to decide where in Canon this is taking place, and I don't who to ship if with anyone if any.
