Chapter 18
-400 years in the past-
NORMAL POV
"Ehem, so, let's begin the conversation." Giotto coughed as he face the three person in front of him. He glanced at G who was really in mess *cough* because of him *cough*, Cozart who have his full attention on him, and Rino who still hold his coffee and smile peacefully. Giotto sighed inwardly.
"Damn Giotto! You will pay for this!" G cussed. Giotto smirk evilly.
"It is your fault for never telling me, G." Giotto said.
"For the hundred time I'm freaking tell you! I DON'T HAVE ANY DAMN CHILD!" G shouted.
"Both of you, please. Let's just talk about this later and tell us why you are call us." Cozart said exasperatedly. Giotto smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry."
"So, why are you call us?" Rino asked. Giotto stance change as his face become serious. His eyes flashed orange and his boss aura was surrounding him. His change of course effected the other occupant as their stance too, become serious.
"Yesterday, no, few hours ago, Vongola was under attack." Giotto said. Cozart and Rino looked surprised at this statement.
"Under attack?" Rino narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, by the group named 'Unknown'." Giotto said. This of course, get another shock response.
"Fortunately, no one was hurt, and we also get their identity." G continued. He give the two don a pile of document he brought with him before.
"This is what we could found about them." Giotto explained. Cozart and Rino opened the document and started to read. After few seconds, Rino commented.
"Wait, I know this guy." Rino chirped. Giotto turned at the Cavallone boss with surprised face, and so with G.
"Wait, What?" Giotto and G said simultaneously. Rino nodded as he read the rest.
"Yeah, I know this guy, Dominico Stranta." He pointed at one profile.
"Well, remember when I found something interesting at one of the party I attended few months ago?" Rino asked. Giotto furrowed his brows before nodded, remembered their conversation.
"The party I attended was from a small neutral famiglia in my territory. The Corphecio Famiglia." Rino explained.
"This famiglia was so small and under my famiglia protection. So, it was just few who were invited. Dominico Stranta from Stranta famiglia was also one of the guest invited. I never talk to him though." Rino said. Giotto stared at Rino as his thought wandered.
"If Dominico Stranta is the one who ordered all of them..." G trailed off.
"There's a possibility that the Stranta Famiglia is behind all of this." Giotto finished G sentence. He turned back to Rino.
"The party... what was the party for?" Giotto asked.
"Oh, it was the heir official appointment and the heir seventeen birthday." Rino answered. Giotto nodded slowly as his brows furrowed, indicating that he was thinking.
"Could you arrange a meeting for both of us? I want discuss something with the head of Corphecio." Giotto asked. Rino sighed.
"That is the problem. Corphecio famiglia is gone." Rino said sadly. Giotto widened his eyes.
"The famiglia is gone!? Is the 'Unknown' the one who did it?" G asked. Rino shook his head.
"No, a day before the 'Unknown' second attack, the famiglia suddenly vanish. When my men and I went there to discuss something with them, we found their estate was empty. No human, no signs of life, no body, nothing. We searched through the area but we couldn't find anyone. It's like they were eaten by the air."
"Corphecio famiglia?" Cozart suddenly said. All the attention turned to him.
"What it is, Cozart?" Giotto asked.
"It just that... I remember Enma mentioned them before. He said that he has a friend from Corphecio." He muttered then turned his attention to Giotto.
"I will ask him about this." Cozart finally said. Giotto nodded in grateful. Their conversation was disturbed when a maid come to their direction.
"Young masters, Giotto-sama, G-sama, there is a guest who want to meet you." The maid said politely. At this, Giotto and G raised their brows bewilderment.
"A guest? G, I didn't invite anyone beside Cozart and Rino, right?" Giotto asked his right hand man who shook his head.
"Who is the guest?" G asked.
"The donna from Giglio Nero Famiglia, Sephira-san." The maid said. The four men whose been listening widened their eyes in surprised.
"Giglio Nero Famiglia?" Giotto asked in bewilderment. He furrowed his brows for few second before turned to the maid who still waiting.
"guide her to one of the living room and tell her that we will see her, with the Shimon Primo and Cavallone Primo." Giotto said again. The maid nodded before bowed and went away to tell the guest. Giotto turned his attention to the two don.
"So, please escort me?" Giotto smiled sheepishly. Cozart just smiled while Rino chuckled. Both of them stood up and followed Giotto and G who already went away.
"The Giglio Neo Famiglia visiting us? Well, that's rare." G commented. Rino nodded in agreement.
"What could you say, Giglio Nero Famiglia is one of the most strongest famiglia in Italy, and this was the donna herself who come to visit you, Giotto. I even just meet her a few times in a year." Rino added. Giotto just nodded absentmindedly. Cozart stared at his friend in worry.
"Something wrong, Giotto?" Cozart asked. Giotto smiled.
"Nah, It just... Why someone like her want to meet me, the head of newly formed mafia famiglia?"
Tsuna, was still thinking at the newly information he gathered.
'My counterparts memory? What the hell is that? Wait, is that mean that I also have been born? But how could something like that happen?' Tsuna thought furiously. He was very confused. Too many question, while no one could answer it for him. '
'Just great, so this problem is actually more complicated that I imagine.'
Tsuna groaned as he slammed his head on his palm. He started to feel the incoming headache. Really, how he wish he never accepted his role as Vongola Decimo.
"Ha ha." A childish voice suddenly interrupted his thought. Tsuna opened his eyes widely and stared at his surrounding. That was the time when he finally realized that he was not awaken yet. The place he was right now, it was like a mindscape.
"Yes, this is a mindscape." The same voice answered him. Tsuna turned his attention to the source, just to found a clone of himself standing there while smile brightly at him. The same face, with amusement dancing on his eyes. The clone, was looking at him.
Tsuna's jaw dropped right away.
"Mou, you didn't need to make a face like that." His clone pouted in cute way. Tsuna hurriedly close his jaw and stood up to face his clone while bewilderment still in his face.
"Em..."
"Haha, you didn't need to be confuse. I am you in this world. Let's just say that I am your counterpart self in this world." His clone said. Tsuna nodded slowly as he accepted the information.
"So, it is true that what I saw was you memories?" Tsuna finally asked. The Tsu-clone nodded.
"Yes, that is my memories." The Tsu-clone said again. His face become serious as his eyes become orange, or what Takeshi said was his boss mode. This make Tsuna stared in awe. Well, yeah, he did the same, but he couldn't see himself when he in the mode. Just like his guardians said, and so with the other boss said, he is amazing when in that mode, terrifying also.
"Do you have a reason why you send your memories to me?" Tsuna asked again also in his boss mode. The Tsu-clone was silent before stared at Tsuna eyes.
"Yes, I do. That memories of me will help you to defeat Dominico Stranta. However, there is another reason." Tsu-clone said. Tsuna nodded as he listened carefully.
"I'm here to tell you that us, your counterparts self will help you to defeat Dominico Stranta and return the peace. And of course, send you back to your originally world." The Tsu-clone said. Tsuna smiled as he heard the words.
"Thank you." Tsuna smiled truthfully.
"Yes, your welcome."
"Then, can you explain me about this world?" Tsuna asked. The Tsu-clone nodded.
"What do you want to know?" Tsu-clone asked.
"Em, about you?" Tsuna said hesitantly. Tsu-clone just chuckled.
"Okay, in this world, I am actually a seventeen years old. Both my parents was died because of assassination. I was born in the Corphecio Famiglia, a small neutral famiglia under the Cavallone protection. I was the heir." Tsu-clone said. Tsuna groaned.
"So, even in the parallel world I was also a heir of mafia famiglia?" Tsuna scowled. Tsu-clone just smiled sheepishly.
"The don of the Corphecio Famiglia is my uncle, Timoteo. He have three children by blood, Enrico, Massimo and Federico, and one adopted child, Xanxus." Tsuna looked at his clone with brows raised slightly.
'Okay, so someone I know have been born in this world. Many people I know.'
"I was the heir, because, well, all of Uncle Timoteo sons was killed. That left Xanxus and me. However, Xanxan has already have his Varia so he refused, that left me to claim the position." Tsu-clone sighed. Tsuna who couldn't hold his laughter, burst out laughing.
"W-wait! You call what to Xanxus!?" Tsuna asked between his laugh. Tsu-clone titled his head wonderingly.
"Xanxan. Although after I step on my fourteen birthday he wants me to call him Xanxus, or Aniki, or Fratello, but I usually call him Xanxan." Tsu-clone explained. Tsuna burst out in laughter.
"I... That is very amusing." Tsuna said while wiped away his tears. He couldn't imagine, the Xanxus was called Xanxan by his counterparts self. Oho, that can be so amusing. He can use it when he comeback later. Tsuna smirked mischievously.
"Well, let's continue." Tsu-clone said. Tsuna nodded. "My father is Iemitsu and my mother is Nana. I was born from the second marriage of my parents."
"Wait, second married?"
"Yes, Iemitsu, my father was my Uncle Timoteo younger brother. Before he marry my mother, he already married with another woman named Alvolia, but then Auntie Alvolia died after give birth to a son. Father named him Giotto."
"Wait, Giotto? Like Giotto the Primo of Vongola?" Tsuna asked incredulously. Tsu-clone nodded.
"You've meet him?" Tsu-clone asked again. Tsuna smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah, kind of. In my original world, Giotto is my ancestor. The one who built Vongola 400 years ago." Tsuna said. Tsu-clone nodded in understanding.
"That's mean you have not meet the Giotto from my world."
"Actually, I have." Tsuna deadpanned.
"Eh, you have?"
"Yes, by accident actually." Tsuna said again. Tsu-clone stared at Tsuna for few minutes before continued his explanation.
"Okay, I continue. However after one month of Auntie Alvoila death, Giotto was kidnapped. My father tried to search him but there's no lead. For the next few months, while looking for Giotto-niisan, Father met My mom, Nana. He then married my Mom. After I was born though, both of them was killed by assassin." Tsu-clone explained. Tsuna stared at his counterparts in sympathy.
"Nah, I'm alright, don't give me that face. You know we don't like it." Tsu-clone chuckled. Tsuna just smiled fondly.
"Then, how about Giotto?" Tsuna asked.
"We found him after ten years later. Uncle Timoteo never contacted him though. I think the reason was because Giotto-niisan formed a vigilante group named Vongola." Tsu-clone answered.
"I see, but do you ever think to contact him?" Tsuna asked. Tsu-clone nodded solemnly.
"I have, but I don't have the bravery." He whispered. Tsuna just nodded in understanding. After few silent moment, Tsuna finally asked.
"Say, could you explain me about what happened? The memories of yours... what was that mean?" Tsuna said carefully. Tsu-clone looked at his counterpart with sad expression.
"It was all Dominico Stranta doing." Tsu-clone explained.
"I met him at one of the ball I attended. We greeted each other, and by the times goes on he become my acquaintance." Tsu-clone said seriously.
"In those ball I met him, I felt that something was amiss with him. I don't know what or why I feel the foreboding feeling. That's why I asked Kyo-nii to investigated it."
"Kyoya has also been born?" Tsuna asked again. Tsu-clone nodded.
"Then, few months ago, Uncle Timoteo held a small party for my birthday and officially I become the heir of Corphecio Famiglia. I also invited Dominico Stranta from the Stranta Famiglia. A week before the party was held, Kyo-nii give me the result of his inverstigation, and it was really surprising." Tsu-clone said grimly.
"The reports said that Stranta Famiglia is involved in human experiment and human trafficking. The one who arranged all of it is Dominico Stranta, the current head of Stranta Famiglia. When I received the reports, I was very shocked." Tsu-clone sighed.
"After that, I ask all of my guardians. I think you already know them, it was the same like your guardians, and yes, all of them already born." Tsu-clone hurriedly answered when he saw Tsuna opened his mouth.
"So, I ask my guardians to let me confirmed it with the said person. When my birthday party was held, I talked to Dominico, and my suspicions was right. Yes, he is involved with all of the human experiment and trafficking. I discuss this problem with my guardians, and we agreed to ask some help from my step brother, Giotto." Tsu-clone said. He stared at Tsuna right in the eyes.
"However, luck wasn't on our side. A day before we started our plan, the Stranta Famiglia attacked our estate. They killed everyone. Hayato, Takeshi, Chrome, Lambo, Kyo-nii, Muku-nii and I managed to escape. We successfully met with Xanxan and the Varia. Uncle Timoteo was killed in that attack." Tsu-clone said solemnly again. Tsuna keep silent at the mentioned of the attack. His mind wandered around when they were on their adventure to 'future' to beat Byakuran. He knows the feeling.
"Few days after that, I decided that all of us need to come back to our home to check everything out. You could imagine our shock when we found the estate was alright. No bodies, no blood, no signs of war. That was when I found out that The Stranta was the one behind all of this. They were the one who bought all of the bodies." Tsuna stared at Tsu-clone stiffened figure. Tsu-clone let the bang of his hair cover his eyes while his body trembling and his grip tightened.
"They took the body for the experiments." Tsu-clone voice was full of anger. Tsuna could feel his body stiffened at the mentions of it. His mind remember a certain mist guardian who already experience it.
"The experiment... they do it so they can take control of one of the tri-ni-sette. With the blood from the experimental bodies. I was so angry, because of that I didn't realized that it was a trap." Tsu-clone said. I furrowed my brows.
"A trap?"
"Yes, we were ambushed by the Stranta Famiglia and all of us was captured. Even the Varia was useless against all of that power." Tsu-clone said. "They bought us to their base where I found all of my famiglia dead bodies. Of course, they were experimented on them. We were locked in a sell differently. I don't know for how long we were locked, but I start to felt desperate. That was when I heard a voice." Tsu-clone stared at Tsuna with his blazing eyes.
"The voice of the tri-ni-sette." Tsuna snapped and looked at Tsu-clone in bewilderment.
"Tri-ni-sette's voice?" Tsuna asked in confusion.
"Yes, I heard your voice, saying that everything will be alright. That all of us will survive. The next second, I felt my body was transported, with all of my guardians bodies. When we wake up, we were on a clearing with forest around us. We were confused. All of us were confused. I decided that we must make a plan to save the Varia. My gut telling me that they were still alive. But then, we felt something strange with our body, that was when Lambo suddenly gone. I think that was the time when you were transported to this world." Tsu-clone said. Tsuna nodded slowly as his face scrunched.
"Yeah, The first one to be transported was Lambo. So, that's mean that we are borrowing our counterpart body with our counterpart self still alive however they were on their own mindscape?" Tsuna concluded. Tsu-clone nodded.
"Yeah."
There were silent. Both of them full of their own thought. Until Tsuna decided to break it.
"Do you know, why they do the experiment? I mean, you said that they do it to control one of the tri-ni-sette, but why the need all of those bodies?" Tsuna finally asked.
"From what I remember and the information Kyo-nii gave me, it has something to do to control the mare ring power, one of the tri-ni sette. When I was locked, I heard that they were already obtain the mare ring by attack the Gesso Famiglia. However, they need the Gesso blood to control it. I think, they do the experiment to look for alternative ways to control it besides using Gesso blood." Tsu-clone explained. Tsuna nodded in understanding. He sighed.
'Yes, this matter was more complicated that I thought.'
"Em..." Tsu-clone looked at Tsuna hesitantly. Tsuna raised his brows when he saw that Tsu-clone eyes was come back to normal.
"Yes?"
"Actually, although all of you was the one who control our body right now, and we are inside the mindscape, we are actually could see everything that happened." Tsu-clone explained.
"So?" Tsuna asked in confusion.
"It just... when you met Dominico Stranta, you looked like you know him very well." Tsu-clone said hesitantly as he glanced at Tsuna. Tsuna body stiffened at the mention of it. He subjugated his head and let his bang covered half of his face.
"...Yeah," Tsuna whispered faintly. He looked at Tsu-clone with sad eyes.
"We do know each other." Tsuna shook his head. "No, not merely know."
Tsu-clone looked at Tsuna with confusion clearly visible on his eyes. Tsuna gritted his teeth and tightened his knuckle grip. He stared at Tsu-clone eyes with emotion swirled inside.
"In my world, Dominico Stranta was my best friend and one of my trusted ally." He said while formed a sad smile. He sighed.
"Yeah, used to."
Okay! Finish!
