I'm starting to see the pattern, if I write a long ass chapter, it would take me HOURS. Ten. Long. Hours. Once again.*sigh*
But, totally worth it. *thumbs up*
There are a couple of things I would like to say...
ONE: I've noticed readers want to have side pairing, with Nana. She is divorced and is a single mother. So, I thought... why the hell not? To those who want Nana to be pair with, feel free to VOTE! It could be anyone, just...close to her age. Please, and thank you. xD
?XNana
TWO: I have a DeviantArt that I did poster-ish with Tsuna as Sora and I drew some clothes from the outfit I described in the chapters. Feel free to take a look! It's same as my username, GreenHoneyTea. Should be easy to search and find. x3
Warning: unbeta. English is my second. ASL is my first. I'm Deaf. *peace*
I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I don't own ANYTHING. *sniff*
Enjoy~ x3

Room #270
"Heeii? We're going to the forest?" Tsuna glanced up at his mother in surprised while he was drying his wet hair from the shower with a towel.
Nana is sitting on her bed with her legs crossed while she is holding a notebook on her lap. She nodded her head at her son, "Hai, Kikyo-kun explained to Lal-chan and me about the location where the sets will be at. It'll be quite far, so we have to get up extra early to leave." She explained, "You can sleep in the car until we'll arrive, so you don't have to worry about losing more sleep." She assured her son.
Tsuna tilted his head after he dropped the towel in the hamper, "I wonder what's the story behind a theme that has to be in the forest?" he mused out loud with curious.
"I don't know, but we'll find out tomorrow." Nana smiles wide as her caramel-eyes twinkled with excitement, "I'm really excited to see this new theme and learn what's the story behind of it." She clasped her hands together in front of her heart and let out a dreamy sighed.
The petite boy sweatdropped at his mother who is now in her own daydreaming world. He shook his head with a fond smile. Suddenly, his phone alerted a new message. Tsuna grabbed his phone from the bedside table, opened the message from Skull.
From: Skull
SUB: Good Luck!
[Just wanna say good luck for tomorrow. I heard that u will be doing photoshoots in the forest. Watch out for the bugs!]
Tsuna half-smiles in amused, he texted back to thanked Skull. Then another message replied quickly.

[Welcome! xD Go to sleep. U will have to wake up early, right? So good night! :D]
Tsuna replied back to wished him good night then placed his phone back on the bedside table. He climbed under the blanket and cuddle against the pillow. And off to dreamland.

Location: Outside of Casa Hotel
Time: Morning of 5:02
Tsuna dragged his feet along with his tired mother who looped her arm through his. Tsuna covered his yawning mouth while Nana scanned the surrounding until she found Gamma standing outside of his car, waiting. Nana pulled sleepy son toward to the car, "Good morning." Nana greeted Gamma with a smile.
Gamma nods his head politely, "Good morning, Yun, Sora." He opened the back door, watched Nana helped Tsuna climbed into the car and she climbed in. Gamma shut the door, walked around to the driver seat and climbed in. His eyes glanced at the mirror, "We will arrive at the destination in an hour and a half." He explained to the model's manager.
Nana buckled her seatbelt and double check on her son to make sure he had his seatbelt on properly. Tsuna yawned once again, he leaned against his mother's shoulder and dozed off. The mother was satisfied and smiles gently at the driver, "Is that so? I hope you don't mind me asking, but where is this forest?" she asked with curiosity.
Gamma turned on his car, pressed the gas and steering the wheel, "It's outside of the city. Corteccia di Foresta. It's one of the old forests that has legend story." He informed.
"Amazing." Nana mumbled, "What's the story?"
The driver cleared his throat, "The legend was called, "Boschi del Tempo", it means Woods of the Time. Centuries ago, a milkmaid traveled through the woods to gather fresh water from the lake. However, she got lost for hours until she stumbled onto one strange tree. The tree has engraved line in the woods. It reminded the milkmaid of the fancy door. She was curious that she decided to experiment by opening the door. After a few times of attempt opening the door, she failed and ended up kick it with frustration. Then, the door opened and revealed a black space. The milkmaid went in and has never been seen for a long time. Until, thirty years later, a missing milkmaid came back from the tree and explained her tales of adventures of the past in a whole another world. Unfortunately, her tales turned out to be fabricated because there was no prove off the portal tree. And then, another decade later, the door appeared on the tree, but none can ever open no matter what. It stays mystery ever since." Gamma explained the legend.
Nana was awed by the legend tale, "And that tree is still existing today?" the driver nodded his head, "I can't wait to see it." She is excited to see such an interesting door in the tree. Nana leans back against the seat and glanced at the view outside with a small smile on her face.

Location: Corteccia di Foresta
Time: Morning of 6:13
They have arrived at the location, Nana gently shook her son out of his slumber. Tsuna fluttered his eyes opened and covered his tired yawn. "We're here, Sora-chan." The mother smiles at her sleepy son.
Tsuna blinked few times to get rid of the blurriness from his sights. His caramel eyes noticed the wild forest through the window. He and his mother climbed out of the car when Gamma opened the door. The petite model observed the large forest with awed while Nana waved happily at a photographer who walked toward them with a huge grinned on his face.
"Buongiorno!" Kikyo greeted the manager and his model. Nana and Tsuna greeted the photographer back with friendly smiles. Then the sounds of engines heard from a black car arrived got their attention. When the car stopped, Lal climbed out of the car and nod her head in greeted at them while the back door opened. A young early twenties man climbed out of the car, he has black waist-length hair in a braid, sharp grey eyes, fair skin, and wears a black jacket, dark blue jeans, and black boots. He is a very handsome young man that Nana blushes while Tsuna was amazed.
Kikyo beamed at them, "Lal, Fon! I'm glad you both made it." He said happily. Lal and Fon went to them and the photographer turned his head to his petite model, "Sora, meet your partner for two days. Fon. Fon, meet Sora." Kikyo introduced his models to each other.
Fon politely bowed to his partner, "I hope we get along, Sora-san." Fon said.
Tsuna blushed, "A-ah, h-hai, Fon-san." Tsuna bowed back.
Lal crossed her arms, "So, what's the theme for this time?" she asked curiously while Nana turned her attention on the photographer, she wants to know the story behind the new theme.
"Part four of Elementi Project is Storm. 'Calma Prima Della Tempesta', It means Calm before the Storm in Italian. This story is about Tempesta came through here from the portal tree, however, he couldn't leave the forest because he must return back to his timeline. However, the portal was closed for a while, so he was stuck here in the forest while waiting for the portal open up any day. Meanwhile, Cielo was hiking in the forest alone until she stumbled across on Tempesta. They both spend time together as they were fallen in love until the portal was opened, Tempesta had to return to his home and Cielo couldn't let him go. So, she ended up going back in the past to be with him, she chose to love and Tempesta was blessed to have his love with him."
"Amazing!" Nana loves this story and Kikyo thanked her with a smile. The photographer turned his attention to his models, he pointed at the direction of two small RV trailers that was parked outside of the woods.
"Sora, Sandy is at the left RV trailers with your outfit ready. Fon, yours is at the right, Iza will take care of your makeup." Kikyo informed his models.
They understood and went to their temporary dressing room in the RV trailers. Lal and Nana glanced at Kikyo, "Where is the first set start?" Nana asked with curious.
"In the woods." Kikyo pointed at the direction of the wood, "We'll take a little walk down the trail, the spot was perfect for the first meeting between Temoesta and Cielo." He said.
Nana then noticed Gamma is rested on the car with his arms crossed. She tilted her head in confusion, she told her fellow manager and photographer that she'll be back. When she went to Gamma, "Is everything okay, Gamma-kun?" Nana asked with concerned.
Gamma nods his head, "Si. Everything's fine, Yun. Boss told me to wait until everything's done. I can drive you and Sora back to the hotel. For now, I'll be here." He explained.
"Is that so…" Nana tilted her head, "…I would be boring to wait here. I don't know how long we're going to be here exactly. But…" her blue contacts eyes glint, "…I'm sure Kikyo-kun and Lal-chan don't mind if you join us and watch the modeling." She offered with a sweet smile on her face.
The driver blinked in surprise, "Ah, thank you. But it's best if I stay here. I don't want to get in the way." He politely refused.
Nana shook her head, "You won't get in a way!" she grabbed Gamma's elbow, "Come on, Gamma-kun. This way, you won't be bored and lonely." She beamed at him while she dragged the driver back to Kikyo and Lal.
"Gamma." Lal greeted the man professionally and Gamma greeted back with a nod of head.
Kikyo placed his hand on his chin while examined the driver, "You looked familiar." He mused out loud with interested. Lal and Nana glanced at the photographer and the driver back and forth with curious. Until Kikyo snapped his finger with recognized in his eyes, "Ah! Volpe Nera!" he grinned with satisfied that he remembered.
Gamma hummed softly with slightly surprised eyes, "I haven't heard of that name in a while."
"Volpe Nera…." Nana mumbled as she attempted to translate in her mind, "…Black Fox?" she hesitant guessed.
Kikyo nodded his head in confirmed that Nana was corrected while Lal carefully observed Gamma with new eyes. "I have heard of Volpe Nera, the famous singer from the group called Sillabare. But it was disbanded about a decade ago." Lal explained.
Nana eyes wide with awed, "Really?" she glanced up at Gamma with stunned.
Small pink blushed appeared on his cheeks, "It was a long time ago. I've retired and focused on bodyguard and driver for the Boss." He said. The managers and former singer didn't notice that Kikyo took out his smartphone and search online for information then grinned widely.
"Believe in You by Volpe Nera, a solo vocalist." Kikyo enlightened with satisfied he found the information.
Gamma glanced at the photographer with raise eyebrows, "Ah… I remembered that song. I wrote that song when I was eighteen." He said.
"That is incredible, Gamma-kun. I would love to hear this song someday." Nana said with an excited smile on her face.
Gamma rubbed the back of his neck bashful, "I'll look for the CD and let you borrow it." Nana beamed at him with thankful and enthusiastic. She truly wants to listen to his old song and curious how he sounds like when he sings, guess that she'll find out when the former singer gives her his CD.
Then, Fon climbed out of the RV trailer that caught workers' attention and complimented on his appearance. Fon politely allow a small smile on his face as he thanked for their nice words. He wears red Tang suit with golden dragon totem, red Chinese pant, and black Tai Chi shoes. His hair was nicely combed in a braid. He was handsome, and truly looked like he was from the past in China of 618-907 year.
"You look very attractive." Nana praised Fon when he stood in front of them. Fon thanked Nana with a tilted head and small smile. The photographer was beyond happy to see one of his model wearing his outfit for the first set. 'Perfect!' he mused.
"You look adorable, Sora-chan!" other workers called out approved of petite model's outfit.
Tsuna waved with a friendly smile on his face after he thanked one of the workers' complimented. He walked to his mother and others. He wears red and white stripes spaghetti strap shirt, blue roll-up shorts, dark brown Western booties, and his waist-length hair is in half-n-half braided wavy ponytail style with red temporary ombre. His accessories are dark red choker, dark red earrings shape of a tornado, and silver left thumb ring.
Kikyo overlooks his models once again, "Bellissimo. Now follow me, it won't take a few minutes to the first set." He beckoned his models as he leads into the woods while others followed behind. "This first set is when Tempesta was taking a nap against the tree over there until Cielo stumbled across during her hiking time. She saw him and was dazed by his unusual appearance. And when she made a sound, she accidentally woke him up. That's when Tempesta and Cielo made their first eye contact. That's how they first met." The photograph told the tale of the theme. He showed his models of the first set in the woods. "Now, Fon, I want you to go sit on the large root against the tree over there and pretend that you are comfortable as you are sleeping." He turned to the petite model, "Sora, I want you to wait a few seconds until you walk into the woods and pretend that you were shocked to see a Chinese man sleeping in the wood. Got it? Bene." Kikyo lifted up his beloved camera. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Fon is resting against the tree trunk on the large root, his right arm rest across his stomach while his left arm rest on his leg, and he tilted his head back gently with his eyes closed. He looked genuinely sleeping comfortably against the tree in the wild woods.
Sora nearly stumbled across on the dirt and silently gasped when her eyes landed on the sleeping beauty. She stared at him quietly with curious and confused. Sora silently tip-toe to Fon carefully and leaned over. Her caramel eyes observed the Chinese model patiently almost as if she is studying it for the art.
Suddenly, she accidentally kicked the pebble that woke Fon up immediately. His grey eyes snapped open and stared straight at her caramel doe-eyes. They both stared at each other intense. Click. Click. Click.
Kikyo absolutely loved it as he kept pressing his button on the camera to capture his models in the wood set.
Gamma leaned against his left leg while his arms crossed with contemplation, "Not bad for the amateur model." He praised the petite model's skill.
"She's talented." Nana beamed happily as she is proud of her son's talent. Lal agreed with Nana's opinion about the tiny model.
Kikyo nod his head as he lowered his camera, "Great! Now, Sora, you will be change the next outfit." He said, Tsuna nod his head and left the set to down the trail with other workers as a guide.
The photographer watched Fon stood up and gently dust the dirt off his clothes while Iza walked up to him with mini bags and an apron full of brushes. Iza took out a blush brush and gently swipes against Fon's cheek.
Nana tilted her head, "Fon-san won't change his clothes?" she asked the photographer with confused.
"No, since Tempesta came here from the past, he doesn't have any other extra clothes except that one he wears now. However, he will have a second outfit for the tomorrow in the last set." He explained his reasoning and Nana nod her head in understanding while Lal and Gamma are listening in silent.
After ten minutes, the worker guide Tsuna back to the group. Tsuna waved at his mother with a shyly smile. He wears a red two-piece skater dress, white Panama hat with red ribbon, white wedge sandals, and his hairstyle changed to wavy freely from any accessories except temporary red ombre. His accessories are red cuff bracelet wrapped around his left wrist and red choker.
"You look very pretty, Sora-chan." Nana loves the outfit that fits on her son, he truly looked very beautiful and perfect type of style for the date.
"I agreed." Kikyo smiles at his petite model, "Now, we'll take the next set. It's rather a short walk from here but it won't be more than ten minutes. Follow me." He leads the group into the woods.
Tsuna carefully followed with others as he kept his eyes on the ground to dodge any pebbles, branches, and roots. While he was into his own world, Fon was pushed to his partner's direction from Lal who warned him to be nice.
Fon halted his step as he watched his partner slightly fell behind the group slowly. When Tsuna is at his side, Fon walked beside Tsuna. "Are you okay?" he asked politely.
Tsuna jolted in surprised to hear a deep yet soft voice from Fon. He glanced up, "A-ah, hai. I just don't want to trip anything." He explained softly.
The Chinese model understood as he had remembered that the petite model is a natural clumsy, according to Skull, Colonello, and Verde. "How are you doing modeling so far, Sora-san?" Fon asked with curious.
"It was nice. I enjoy model with others. It was fun." Tsuna answered with a happy smile on his face. "How about you? How long have you been modeling?" he asked Fon.
Fon hummed softly, "It's an interesting job, and I've been modeling since I was a little kid. I think I was ten." He tilted his head as he recalls back in the past, "It's been nearly eleven years since." He said and Tsuna gapped at his partner with amazed.
"Amazing." Tsuna whispered with awed, "And you just model?" he asked with interested.
The Chinese model shook his head, "No. I do other things, such as acting, singing, and dancing. I rarely sing and dance though. I mostly act and model."
"Wow, are you in the movies?"
"Hai. Although, I don't think you'll enjoy it."
Tsuna frowned with confused, "What do you mean?"
"The movies I've been in are mostly horror, actions, and adventures." Fon admitted and Tsuna's eyes wide with amazed.
"Amazing!" Fon blinked with surprised by his partner's reaction, "I love those type of movies…well, more of actions and adventures. I'm not too fond of scary movies." Tsuna shuddered when he remembered the last time he watched horror films with his mother, it was awful and terrifying.
Fon glanced at Tsuna with interested, "I see, then I will write down some movies list for you so, you can watch it." He offered.
"That would be great, thanks." Tsuna beamed excitedly.
The Chinese model gently smiles back at a petite model, "In exchange, tell me what your thoughts about my skill of fighting styles." He said.
"You fight?" Tsuna asked with wide eyes with inquisitive.
Fon nodded his head, "Hai. I do martial art styles."
The brunette mouthed 'wow' while Fon was amused. He is starting to like his partner, his friends were right, this petite model is an interesting person.
"Alright, we're here!" Kikyo raised his voice to capture the other attentions. "The second set is here." He pointed at the cliff. He waited for his models to walked up to him, "Now, this is when Tempesta and Cielo are hanging out at the cliff while Tempesta is telling his life story about his timeline." He explained.
One of the workers already set up a black picnic blanket on the ground and picnic basket on the side. "Now, Fon and Sora, I want you both to sit on the blanket while facing my direction. Fon, pretend you are telling a story and Sora, pretends that you are very interested and amazed by his tales. Bene." Kikyo nod his head and pushed his camera button. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Fon helped Sora to sit on the picnic blanket. He lowered himself down next to Sora, his legs are layout with ankle folded and his hands are behind him. He tilted his head to Sora while Sora's legs curled on the side with her left hand on her lap and her right hand on the ground next to her. "When you say martial art styles, you mean, you know more than one fight style?" Sora asked with curious.
Fon nods his head, "Correct. I know a hundred and seven martial art styles." Sora jaw dropped.
"W-wow. That's a lot." Sora whispered in flabbergasted. "What inspired you to learn all those styles?"
The Chinese model hummed softly, "My fù qin was Master at Kung Fu, his family owned dojo for generations and has been taught the fight art styles as tradition. Fù qin taught me, Kung Fu when I was a toddler, and since then I have been interested in other martial art styles. He passed away before I was nine, my gū mā took me in and raised me, she also got me into modeling for a while and when there was a movie that needs a child who has experience with the fight, I volunteered and then, I got into acting." Fon's lip lifted in a smile, "Since then, I got into martial art styles, model and act job." He explained basic of his background without anything personal.
Sora nodded her head, "I hope you don't mind me asking this, but why are you here? Not at your home? You don't have to tell me if it's too personal." She assured her partner with concerned.
Fon's grey eyes narrowed sharply for a few seconds but then soften, "My gū mā lived in Japan after she is married to a Japanese man, who is now my gū zhàng. I lived in there for a few years until my boss, wanted me to be part of her company which located in Italy."
"I see… I hope you don't feel bothered by this, but those Chinese words, what do they mean?" Sora asked with blushed with embarrassing but she wants to know what the words mean since she doesn't want to misunderstand.
The Chinese model was surprised to hear this, he never had anyone actually genuinely ask him the meaning behind words of his mother tongue. They normally either ignore or asked him to repeat in their language. His smile softens at Sora, "Fù qin means father, gū mā means father's sister, my aunt. And gū zhàng means father's sister's husband, my aunt's husband." Fon translated the words happily for the petite model.
"Got it." Sora nod her head understood the meaning, "…how do you say hello in Chinese?" she asked with curiosity.
Fon's lip quirked, "Nǐhǎo." He translated is smoothly on his tongue.
"Nehao?" Sora poorly pronouns.
The Chinese model tilted his head in amused, "Nǐhǎo." He repeated it slowly, "Nee how. Nǐhǎo." He watched his partner tried a few times to pronounce the word.
"Nǐhǎo." Sora said it with a thick Japanese accent.
"Hǎo." Fon praised Sora which response by confused, "Good." He translated. Sora beamed at him and asked him how to say a 'thank you' in his language. "Xièxiè." Fon translated it and helpfully pronounced the word carefully and slowly for her.
After few times attempted, "Xièxiè, Fon-san." Sora thanked her partner with her thick accent.
"Bù kèqì. And please, called me Fon. There's no need formal." Fon said with a soft smile.
"Then called me Sora." Sora and Fon smile at each other unaware the crazy snapping shots from the camera. Click. Click. Click.
Kikyo took the last shot then grinned widely, he is very happy how this second set been going so far. He loves it. And he adores the bonding between his models, he really likes how they get along on both in and out of the sets. It makes the projects so much easier for him. "Buono! Now, Sandy, please take Sora and change to rosso number four." Kikyo ordered to one of the Make-Up Artists.
Fon stood up, he led a hand to Tsuna and helped his partner up. Tsuna thanked him with a smile and Sandy went to the petite model. She dragged the tiny model with her through the woods trail with a few other workers follow.
Iza went check on Fon, reapply his make-up and fixed his hair. Meanwhile, Kikyo checked his camera and the managers and the former singer are having a light chat with each other. "Alright, come with me. The next set isn't too far from here. Sora will be lead to the destination from other workers." Kikyo said. The photographer leads the rest of the group of people to down the trail in a few minutes.
"This is the next set." Kikyo informed as he showed the view of the river.
Nana examined the river, "It's very nice." She enjoyed the natures and appreciated the beauty of the Mother Nature.
After nearly fifteen minutes later, Tsuna finally arrived at the location that caught others' attention. Tsuna wears red chiffon crop top, black with golden dragon totem on the side of gypsy/tiered skirt, red ballet flats, and his hairstyle changed to Dutch braid side ponytail with red temporary dye ombre. The accessories are silver bracelets with red tornado charm wrapped around his right wrist, a silver bracelet shape of a dragon with garnet gemstones eyes wrapped around his left wrist, and red choker.
Kikyo nodded his head appeased then he beckoned his models to his attention, "Now, this set is when Tempesta and Cielo are relaxing in this place. Tempesta is washing his shirt because of the dirt while Cielo is waiting for him. However, she was staring at Tempesta without thinking and she has realized she is fallen for him. Cielo was beyond embarrassed that she trips but Tempesta caught her before she could get hurt and he starts to realize that he is fallen for her as well." The photographer explained.
He turned to Chinese model, "Now Fon, I want you to pretend that you need to wash your shirt, so you walk to the river and take off your shirt and clean the dirt spot off. And Sora, I want you to focus on Fon without actually thinking and slowly realize that you have a feeling for him. Got it? Bene." Kikyo lifted his camera. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Fon walked to the river as he took off his Tang suit shirt that revealed his magnificent toned body that caught many attentions from the outside of the set.
Sora's eyes widened when her eyes landed on Fon's strong shoulder boards and marvelous muscles. She watched Fon bend down and gently clean the spot of dirt from his Tang suit shirt. Slowly, red blushes appeared on her cheeks that she kept staring at the half-naked back of Fon.
She couldn't speak as she fiddled her feet and unnoticed that she tripped from the slippery wet rock. "Heeiii!" she shrieked in surprised unexpected and snapped her eyes shut reflexed.
Fon jerked his head around, he darts to Sora's side and caught her in his arms. "You alright, Sora?" he asked with concerned for his partner, he remembered that she is a natural clumsy.
"H-hai." Sora replied in embarrassed. She leaned back and fluttered her eyes open. Her caramel eyes met a black tribal dragon tattooed on Fon's chest. Her eyes widen in shocked as her cheeks turned cherry red.
Sora gulped nervously, her eyes trailed up to meet mysterious gray eyes that belonged to the Chinese model. Fon tilted his head slightly as he stared straight at her eyes unflinching. The petite model open and close her mouth until she finally found her voice, "Xièxiè." She whispered with a thick accent while glanced away shyly.
A Chinese model's lip quirked upward, "Bù kèqì, Sora." Click. Click. Click.
Outside of the set, Nana swoon at this lovely moment, 'Tsu-kun is so adorable! He and Fon-san are so cute together! I can see them being together if they are interested to pursue the relationship. I would fully support them.' She mused with love-struck.
Lal sweatdropped when she is eyeing the women and few men drooling over a half-naked Chinese model in the set. 'They better not do anything foolish or else, I'll use my wrath… good thing I have full permission from Luce.' She mused while narrowed her eyes in cautioned for anyone suspicion.
Gamma watched the scene in boredom.
"Perfezionare! Now, onto the last set for today in this location." Kikyo announced as he walked to his models. Tsuna took steps back away from the half-naked model with blush. Fon crossed his arms as he turned his attention to the photographer while ignored the horny hyenas that was eyeing him. Kikyo placed his one hand on his hip while his other hand is holding his camera. "The next set is basically like swimming but instead of swimming, you both will be rested by the water. You'll understand more once we move to the next location." He said then turned to Tsuna, "Sandy will take you to the next outfit and guide you to the next set, okay?" Tsuna nodded his head in understanding. "Great, head to the next set!"
After thirty minutes later, they already arrived the last set in the forest today while waiting for the petite model to arrive. Nana, Lal, and Gamma was amazed and awed by the gorgeous waterfall surrounded by blooming flowers and green grasses.
Fon is near the edge of the water, half-naked with few water droplets on his bare skin from the water bottle. His hair was semi-wet, and he was prepared for the waterfall set. Iza nods her head in satisfied with her make-up skills and walked away to inform the photographer that Fon is ready.
From the corner of Nana's eyes, she saw her son walked with Sandy and a couple of other workers. She smiles at her son, "You look cute, Sora-chan." Nana approved of her son's outfit that fits the waterfall scene.
Tsuna blushed, "Thanks." he wears red bandeau bra, open black flannel shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black and red tribal/ethnic printed shorts, black strappy thong flat sandals, and his hairstyles changed to flower braid with temporary red dye ombre. His accessories are a red choker, black leather wrapped around his left wrist, omega bracelet wrapped around his right wrist, and a silver index ring with a garnet stone in his left finger.
"Sora…" Kikyo beckoned his petite model, "You and Fon will be at the edge of the waterfall." he led Tsuna toward Fon where he was near the waterfall, "Alright, this set is when Tempesta and Cielo are having a date-like, to Tempesta is actually courting Cielo in his own traditional way. They both enjoy their time together until the portal is open and Tempesta has to return to his past. However, Cielo couldn't let him go because she loves him too much to never see him again. She couldn't do that to herself. Tempesta doesn't want to leave her but he has to return because he had a duty to return to. Understand? Bene."
Kikyo took step backs while lifted up his camera, "Now, Fon I want you to start being playful with Sora and Sora, I want you to actually enjoy your time with him. That's it…" Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Fon swat down near the waterfall while Sora walks to him with curious eyes. Fon tilted his head back and half-smile at her. He gently flicked droplets of waters at Sora's face. Sora flinched in surprise at the cold water hit her bare skin. "That's cold." Sora blurted and Fon raised his eyebrows with amused.
"Is it true that you've just started modeling?" Fon asked since he has been wondering about this for a while. Sora blinked then nodded her head.
"Hai. Just last month." Sora bends down next to Fon, and she allows her fingers touch in the water, "A photographer needed a replacement model since his original model couldn't make it. So, when he saw me, he thought I was perfect for his picture." She explained softly.
Fon tilted his head at Sora as his braid hair fell over his shoulder, "Do you regret it?"
"Nope. Not one bit." Sora smiles wide at him, "I'm glad I helped him. He looked very relieved. And I actually enjoyed it, mama liked it too. She was very happy that I'm doing modeling, even though I'm not professional." She said.
A Chinese model smiles at her softly, "Well, you have the potential for being a professional model in the future." Sora blushes, "Plus, are you only interest in modeling?" he is curious if Sora wants to do another job.
Sora hummed with thinking face, "I don't know. I've never thought about it." Her eyes glanced at the beautiful waterfall, "I think I would like to try acting, but I don't know if I have a skill for that." She said.
"Who knows, you might have one." Fon said and Sora smiles at him. Click. Click. Click.
"Okay, now I want you two act shocks when you found out the portal has opened up. Fon, I want you to pretend that you were upset that you had to leave but relief that you will return back to your time. And Sora, I want you to pretend that you were scared and sad that Fon is leaving without any choice. Just like that, bene." Kikyo instructed his models and pressed his camera once again. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Fon stood up and turned his back on Sora. His eyes were closed and closed off any hint of emotions. While Sora stood on her feet as her hands clenched at her sides while stared wide eyes at Fon's bareback.
Sora took few steps forward to Fon while her hand reaches to him. Fon just stood there until Sora touch his bare back with tips of her fingers. A Chinese model turned around, pulled Sora into his arms and wrapped his arms around her waist and covered his face into her hair.
Sora blushed hard and attempted to cover her red cheeks as she shut her eyes. They were hugging in silent as the sunlight hit upon them. Click. Click. Click.
"Meraviglioso, just…" Kikyo whispered to himself after the last time to capture the moment. "Alright! Good work everyone." He announced to the workers, models, and managers. Everyone couldn't wait to finish the theme tomorrow.
Tsuna walked to his mother with red cheeks, 'This is a second time I was hug by half-naked Fon!' he mused embarrassed. Nana hugs her son happily, "You did a wonderful job." She praised her son.
"Thank you." He whispered to his mother shyly while Lal praised Fon's work who thanked her in return with a small soft smile.
While Gamma was impressed with the amateur model does pose with a professional model. 'She's really good… not the best but, she'll be one of the best models in the future if she continues her modeling job.' Gamma mused.

Time: Afternoon of 5:37
Tsuna gathered his toiletries and fresh pajamas. "I'll be taking a shower, mama." Nana smiles at her son that she got his message and watched him walked in the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
Nana hummed softly, she took out her CD player from the travel bag and picked up pale pink headphone. She plugs her headphone into the CD player and grabbed a CD from the bed that Gamma lends to her to borrow it.
The mother placed the CD disk into the CD player and pushed the play button. Her caramel eyes examined the cover of the CD plastic. It was a young Gamma, in his eighteen years old appearance. He wore a loose black tank top, silver chain necklace that he grabbed it while his other hand shoved in his front pocket, and his blonde hair was messy bed style. When the song appeared, and a voice came up, Nana was surprised to hear Gamma's voice. It was deep, strong, and husky.
Nana fanned her hand against her face with slightly thrilling eyes. She won't deny, his singing voice is very dangerously handsome in her opinion. 'And I'm curious now what he sounds like? If this is his voice when he was eighteen, then no mistake that his voice might've got more hulk now that he is an older man.' She mused with curious and interested. Plus, Gamma was kind enough to show her the interesting door in the tree at the forest that she took a picture of it. Such a nice handsome man.
What? She is a healthy single mother, there's nothing wrong with interested in singles handsome males and appreciates their excellent rough voices and looks. Too bad though, she's here as Yun the manager, not as Nana the single woman. Oh well, maybe next time. Nana hummed softly along with the songs that Gamma made ten years ago from the headphone she is currently listening to.

Location: Mondo Studio
Time: Morning of 8:05
Tsuna and his mother arrived at the studio ninety-nine, they both saw the dark red background as the last set. Tsuna noticed his partner and Lal talking to the photographer. Nana went to them with a friendly waved, "Good morning." She greeted politely with a coffee table in her other hand.
"Nǐhǎo, Fon." Tsuna greeted Fon with a gentle smile.
Fon greeted back politely with soft eyes, "Zǎo." Tsuna raised his eyebrows in confusion, "It means good morning." Tsuna understood.
"Okay, Sandy and Iza have your clothes ready." Kikyo jerked his chin at the direction of two separated dressing rooms. Fon and Tsuna went to the dressing room.
Nana and Lal turned to Kikyo, "The last set for the Storm theme, right?" Nana wondered, and the photographer nodded his head that she was corrected.
"Si, and tomorrow will interesting theme though." Kikyo said.
Lal leaned forward with curious eyes, "What's the theme tomorrow?"
The photographer smirks mysteriously as he placed his index finger on his lip. 'It's a secret' was his silent message. Lal huffed softly but didn't push it. Nana was excited for this, "This project is really fun and interesting though. So far, we did cloud, rain, lightning, and storm." Nana said as she counted her fingers of the elements.
"Yeah, after this… we have four elements left." Lal added.
Nana sipped her coffee and sighed, "This project is very huge." She was amazed at how much work for her son to do many poses with different male models and in a lot of clothes to change. However, she loves to see her son dress up in such wonderful and unique clothes. It made her a very happy mom.
Then almost simultaneously, Fon and Tsuna walked out of the dressing room. They both were surprised to see each other, but then changed to friendly smiles and greeted each other once again. They both walked to the last set while others are whispered with approved, jealousy, envies, awe, and amazed.
Fon wears red traditional red Daopao with golden totem dragon with the roaring of fire and golden ribbon tied around his hip and black Tai Chi slipper. His hair is free from braids is now flowing over his shoulders like waterfalls, garnet gemstone earrings, and a silver cuff bracelet with red monkey tribal-like wrapped around his right wrist.
Tsuna wears red with golden totem monkey cheongsam dress with slits up to his thighs, red and golden old Beijing mary jane flats, and his hairstyles changed to sultry vibe with sexy undone waves, side-swept braids, and studded gold embellishments and Ming Dynasty infant playing with lotus flower chai with temporary red ombre. His accessories are silver cuff bracelet with golden totem dragon, a silver ring with garnet gemstone wrapped around his left pinky, and a garnet rhinestone forehead band wrapped around on his head.
They looked truly beautiful together that brings the feeling of royalty from their appearance. "You both look beautiful." Nana whispered in admiration and excitement.
Kikyo agreed with Nana, "Of course… they would fare una bella coppia." He smiles widely at his models, "Ready for the last set?" he pointed at the dark red background, "This is when Tempesta and Cielo have their own happy ending since Cielo ended up leaving her timeline to her lover's time. So, they both could be together. And the catch is that Tempesta is actually a prince which is why he must return back to his time." Nana understands as her eyes wide with enthusiastic at this unexpected twisted while Lal found this story is decent in her opinion. "Fon, Sora… show me your happy ending." Kikyo said and used his camera. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Fon gently turned Sora around and face the camera. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her onto his chest. Sora blushed hard but lifted a soft smile as her eyes are half-way. A Chinese model leaned forward as some strands of his hair flow over Sora.
Sora gently touches strands of Fon's hair and was amazed at the soft texture in her fingers. She continues playing with his hair while Fon watches her with soft eyes and small gentle smile.
It's almost as if they both are in blessed and happy together. Fon leaned closer to Sora's ear, "I enjoy working with you, Sora." He whispered.
Sora shivered at his hot breath touch her bare ear as she tilted her head up at Fon, "Me too, Fon. You are a nice friend." She said shyly and Fon smile and agreed with her. The petite model was beamed at this, she gains another friend during her modeling job. Click. Click. Click.
Nana and Lal stood behind the photographer who continued capture the pose after pose with different flashes of lightning and colors effects. "Yesterday was a long day." Nana said to Fon's manager.
"Hai." Lal agreed, "Luckily, tomorrow won't be too hectic." She added. Lal remembered there are three models left that Sora hasn't meet and she hopes tomorrow the model would be at least less troublesome. It's a good thing that Skull, Colonello, Verde, and now Fon gets along with the petite model. And she hopes the other three models would get along with her in the future.
Nana hummed, "I'm looking forward to tomorrow." She said cheerfully.
"Yeah…" Lal trailed off. Hopefully, the model is less troublesome for the next part of the Elementi project.
