Location: Vongola Entertainment

Time: Morning of 4:35

An elder name with fair grey hair and a mustache, and wears in a neat suit. He is known as Timoteo, the current CEO of the Vongola Entertainment. A seventy years old man set his foundation pen down and leaned back against the chair with a sighed. He has been working on his paperwork nonstop for a while, he really needs to take a break from all this tiresome work. Maybe he should seriously find a successor to replace as CEO for this company. He is getting too old and too tired. Maybe he should start to think about which of his sons should take over?

Then a soft ringtone heard from his computer that caught his attention. Timoteo reached for it and answered the video-chat. In the screen showed a mid-twenties man with spiky golden blonde hair, his eyes are a lighter shade of orange, and wears a simple white shirt and blue jeans. He smiled wide at the old man. "Hello, grandfather." He greeted respectfully.

"Giotto, my grandson. How's America?" he asked with curiosity.

Giotto shrugged his shoulders. "It's fine. The America Vongola company is progressing better than last year. I believe at this rate, next year, it will be officially done." He said.

"Excellent." Timoteo's eyes twinkled with pride. Maybe he should consider letting Giotto become the CEO in his place once he becomes retire?

Giotto narrowed his eyes at his grandfather. "Did something happen, grandfather?" his eyes shown concerns. The elder man just shook his head with a warm smile.

"No. Everything's fine. Just very tired."

The blonde-hair man's eyes soften. "You should get rest then… it's not good for your age to stay up this late. You need a lot of rest and stay healthy."

Timoteo chuckled. "I may be old but I'm not that old."

Giotto raised his eyebrows. "Grandfather… you are seventy years old. Great-grandmother -rest her soul in peace- retired from her CEO position when she was sixty years old. It's admirable that you want to continue working but…" he frowned with concerned. "It would be best to think of a successor for the next CEO of Vongola Entertainment."

The old man let out his weary sighed. "I hate to admit this, but you are right, my grandson. I did think about retiring for a while."

"Good. You can start to prepare for it." He tilted his head with curiosity. "So, who is the candidate? Uncle Enrico? Uncle Massimo? Or Uncle Federico?"

Timoteo firmed his lips as he glanced at his photo on his desk. He stared at his three sons and along with his two adoptive grandsons. "You didn't mention your brother." He pointed it out.

Giotto grimaced. "Xanxus is too busy with his work, you know that, grandfather. Plus, he is not interested in becoming CEO position. He much preferred his own group." He reminded the elder man.

"That's true. As for my sons… I don't think they would make a match for this position as well." Then his eyes drifted to his grandson. "However…" he trailed off and Giotto blinked then eyes widen when he realized what the elder man was trying to say.

"Grandfather! I couldn't!" Giotto denied. "I can't become the CEO of Vongola Entertainment. I'm fine with working as background boss for projects."

Timoteo smiled grandfatherly at the blonde-hair man. "Giotto… you've been working so hard with determined and always make sure the Vongola stand tall, proud and strong. I truly think you deserve this position." Giotto blushed softly at this. "I won't force you this, but I want you to think about this, okay? We will talk about this at a later date in the future, understand?"

Giotto nodded his head in silence. "I understand, grandfather. Oh! Before I forget, I heard there's a rumor about Vongola found a perfect pure Cielo? Is that true?" he has with curious and excited.

"Ahh…" Timoteo let a warm smiled appeared on his face. "…yes. There is a new freelance model, her name is Sora-" he explained to his grandson about the possible official role for the Vongola's Sky.

Location: Casa Hotel

Room #270

Time: Morning of 6:07

The soft melody ringtone heard from Nana's phone while Nana finished placed the blue eye contacts in her eyes to cover her caramel eyes. She blinked a few times then walked to the table where her phone was. She picked up and saw a text message from a certain teal-haired photographer. A soft smile appeared on her face as she opened her phone and checked the message.

Nana giggled and respond back in the warm morning to Kikyo in a message. She heard the door opened from the bathroom, her son, Tsuna walked out as he adjusted his wig carefully. "Ready?" Tsuna nods his head at his mother.

The mother and her son gathered their things and left the room with a lock. Then they head to the elevator, leave through the lobby and the entrance. They saw Gamma leaning against the car. The driver saw them and greeted them with a warm smile. And helped them to climbed inside of the backseat car and went to the driver seat.

"So, we're going to somewhere different? Not Mondo Studio?" Nana asked after she buckled her seatbelt while Tsuna pulled the seatbelt and buckled in.

Gamma turned on the engine with his key. "Correct. We're going to Perla dell' Anima Perduta, it means 'Pearl of Lost Soul'."

Nana tilted her head with interested. "Does this have a story?"

"Hai." Tsuna glanced up with interested. "It's a rather tragic story." Gamma turned his wheel. "I'd assumed that you want to hear it?"

Nana and Tsuna nodded their head as they respond. "Hai."

"The young woman, her name was Pearl, she lived in a mansion where she hated it all her life. Pearl always believed that the mansion itself was moaning in sorrow. Stuck in the mansion where she couldn't leave, only to watch the world outside of the window. Many people have learned that Pearl is a kind and beautiful woman, like an angel. Then one day, there was a man, Romeo who had fallen in love with Pearl for a long time. He confessed his love for her, however, Pearl can't return his affection. Romeo felt betrayed and bitter to the point he murdered Pearl, believed that if he can't have her, then no one can have her. However, what he doesn't know that the reason why Pearl rejected his confessed was that she was dying from the incurable disease. And now, Pearl is forever stuck in the mansion she hated for enteral." Gamma explained the short story behind the mansion.

Tsuna paled at this while Nana frowned sadly. "That's awful. And why are we going there?"

"I can assure you that this story is just a myth. The mansion itself is one of a beautiful construction in Italy." Gamma quickly gave a glance through the mirror. "Arcobaleno Entertainment has rent the mansion for the Elementi project. I've heard it's fitting for the last part of the project." Gamma added.

The manager and petite model glanced at each other. "Is that so?" Nana smiles. "Then, we both will do our best to put this project to success, ne, Sora-chan?"

Tsuna smiles at his mother. "Hai." He won't fail his mother, Kikyo-sensei, Lal, Gamma, Luce-san, and others. He will try his best with determined.

Location: Perla dell' Anima Perduta (Pearl of Lost Soul)

Time: Morning of 7:57

When they have arrived at the destination, Gamma climbed out of the driver seat, went to the back door and opened. "Here we are." Gamma announced it quietly.

Nana and Tsuna climbed out and was in awed and shocked to see such a large, beautiful Victorian mansion standing in front of them.

Wait.

It's more like a mini-castle.

Tsuna twitched in disbelieved at the dark grey Victorian mini-castle. There are multiples windows and doors, a few towers, and the land was ridiculously large. It was beyond the most beautiful building, no doubt however, Tsuna couldn't help but feel like this place is crawled with sorrow yet joy. He could understand the sorrow part, but he doesn't know why he felt joy in there as well.

"Yun! Sora-darling!" Nana and Tsuna snapped out of it and saw Kikyo waved at them with a beaming face. "I'm glad to see you two here." He said, excitedly.

"You look very excited, Kikyo-kun." Nana giggled softly at the bubbly man.

Kikyo chuckled. "Of course, I'm excited! Today is a big deal since it's the final part of the Elementi Project." He glanced at his petite model. "I can't wait to see you pose along with the rest of the models."

"Eh?" Tsuna tilted his head. "Rest of models?"

The photographer nodded his head. "Hai, from the first part to the seventh part models are all here now. You and either other models will be doing pose together." Nana clapped her hands with excitement now, with him.

Tsuna paled. '…does that mean… he's here too?!' he wants to wail and cry if that man is here. But, his friends are here too, Skull, Colonello, Fon, Bermuda, Viper, and Verde. Although, the last two aren't exactly his friends but still…

"Come with me." Kikyo beckoned his petite model and the manager. The photographer leads them inside of the mini-castle. Nana was amazed by the beautiful artifacts and decorations while Tsuna was sulking yet awed the fancy Victorian styles.

"Sora!" a familiar voice, shouted out. Tsuna snapped his head to the direction and saw purple-hair model, waving at him as he ran toward him.

Tsuna's eyes widen at this. "W-wait!" he weakly protected but it was futile when Tsuna was slammed against the chest. "O-ow." He mumbled.

"How are you?!" Skull grinned widely as he squeezes Tsuna in his arms.

Tsuna leaned back. "I-I'm f-fine." He stuttered as his cheeks painted with red. He isn't used to friendly hug, he never hugs with friends before.

Skull break the hug. "Great!" Tsuna took a step back and noticed Skull is dressed in a fancy outfit that he assumed it was for the photoshoot. Skull wears white shirt button with a purple vest, tucked half-way into the black slacks, black dress boots, and wears silver ear pierces in both ears, silver bottom lip ring, and silver ring for left index-finger. His hair was ruffled as if he just got out of the bed this morning. All in all, Skull is very handsome-looking.

Nana noticed his appearance as well. "You look handsome, Skull-san!"

Skull thanked the manager with a smile. "And there are others here too." He turned to Tsuna. "Come!" he grabbed Tsuna's hand and half-dragged the petite model down the hallway. Nana and Kikyo followed from behind with amused.

When they arrived in the base room where the tables are set up with equipment and snacks. Folded chairs are placed in areas for rest, monitors are set up and there are a few accessories and props on the table. There are a few staffs, along with a couple of Make-Up artists that Tsuna recognized easily, Lal and rest of the models.

"Hey guys! Sora-chan is here~!" Skull sang the last part happily, caught all models' attention and turned to Tsuna.

Tsuna gulped at the stares as he observed their fancy clothes, that is similar to Skull's. Colonello half-grinned at the petite model. "Nice to see you again, little bunny, kora." Colonello wears a white dress shirt with a blue vest as his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, black slacks, black combats boots, and blue camouflage bandana wrapped around his left wrist, and blue studs' earrings. His hair is nicely combed back to show off his sharp blue eyes.

Verde pushed his glasses up as the glass reflects by the lights. He wears a white dress shirt with a green vest that tucked in properly, black slacks, black dress shoes, and silver right middle ring. His hair was brushed sideway that barely covered his left eye.

"Nǐhǎo, Sora." Fon greeted the petite model with a soft smile. He wears a white dress shirt with a red vest, untucked, black slacks, black dress shoes, and red feather earring in his left ear. His hair was free from any braids and now flowing over his shoulders like a waterfall.

Viper tipped his head at Tsuna who blushed, remembering his eyes color. Viper wears a white dress shirt with an indigo vest with silver chain, black slacks, black dress boots, and black tint-sunglasses. His hair was free down to his collarbone.

Bermuda greeted Tsuna with a nod. He wears a white dress shirt with a black vest, black slacks, black dress shoes, white gloves, and black studs' earrings. His hair is ruffled slightly but shows off his gentlemanly aura.

And lastly, Reborn who smirked at Tsuna who gulped nervously. He wears a white dress shirt with a yellow vest, tucked in black slacks with a black belt, black dress shoes, and golden studs' earrings. His hair is neatly combed back which made him even more dashingly handsome. "Hello, bambina." He purred with amusement eyes.

Tsuna grimaced. "A-ah… hello."

Skull frowned at Reborn. "Since when did you call her that?" he narrowed his eyes at Reborn in caution.

Reborn raised his eyebrow. "It's none of your business, lackey." Skull gritted his teeth in annoyed. Tsuna frowned at this. Colonello hummed then went to Sora, he placed his arm around the petite model's shoulder which Tsuna yelped in surprised.

"You never call me, why is that, kora?" Colonello asked with a pout.

Tsuna glanced at the blonde-hair model. "A-ah… I was busy." He mumbled nervously.

Before Colonello could reply, Fon removed the blonde-hair model's arm from Tsuna's shoulders. "You're making her uncomfortable," Fon said to Colonello then smiles at Tsuna. "How have you been, Sora?"

"I-I've been good." Tsuna smiled shyly at his Chinese friend.

Kikyo clapped his hands to gain his models' attention. "Alright, models… now that I've got your attention. "This is the last part of the Elementi project, it's called, 'Elementi di Armonia'. It means 'Harmony Elements'. It when Cielo is with her seven elements guardians, Nuvola, Pioggia, Fulmine, Tempesta, Nebbia, Sole, and Notte. The guardians surrounded the Cielo because of her acceptance and warmth heart that makes them wants to stay and protect her. Cielo is their sky, their princess, and their home." Kikyo explained.

"This sounds like a queen with her seven knights." Nana said with a bubbly smile. Kikyo glanced at her with warm soften eyes. "How lovely!"

Kikyo placed his hands on his hips. "Sora-darling, Sandy will take you to the dressing room and start with your first outfit for the first set." Tsuna nodded his head and saw Sandy waved him over. The petite model followed Sandy to the next room where it will be his temporary dressing room.

"Now, I would like you all to follow me to the first set." Kikyo leads his models and the managers out of the base room, down the hallway, then turned to a few corners until the photographer halt his steps. "Welcome to the first set." Kikyo pointed at the set.

The first set is large fancy stairs with old vintage rails. The steps are made of marbles with red carpet. It shows the feel of royalty which is exactly what Kikyo wants for the first photoshoot.

"So fancy!" Nana was amazed while Lal agreed. Kikyo grabbed his camera from one of the staffs who gave it to him. Kikyo double checks his camera and made sure it works properly. Kikyo lifted his camera to his eye-view and gave a few tests.

The photographer turned slightly and paused when his camera touch Nana's sparkling eyes and glowing excitement smile as she was busy talking to Lal. Unknowingly to Nana, Kikyo has secretly taken a couple of pictures then turned away as he mentally reminds himself to get the photos to install to his phone later.

After twenty minutes later, Sandy appeared with Tsuna followed behind. "Here she is." All heads turned and were pleasantly surprised to see the Sky model's appearance.

"Sora-chan… you look gorgeous!" Nana placed her hand on her surprised mouth.

Tsuna blushed heavily as he rubbed his arm shyly. He wears orange semi-sweetheart high-low dress, the length of the front dress stopped above his mid-thighs to the back of his knees. A soft tangerine-color wave see-though lace layer attached underneath the chest, to show off the front as it flowed behind until it touches the ground. Over the elbow length orange fingerless gloves. Orange ballerina flats with lace-up in an asymmetrical style left lace up to his left knee and none lace on right. A marigold-shade thigh bracelet wrapped around his right thigh. A marigold-shade choker lace, orange dangling earrings that barely touch his bare shoulders, and orange rhinestones were glued around his eyes that resembled of a masquerade mask-like. And lastly, his waist-length hair changed to boho bubble braids princess style.

Nana was right, the petite model does look gorgeous.

Kikyo beamed at his tiny model. "Stunning, Sora-darling!" he turned to his male models and was slightly amused to see them staring intently at the petite model. He cleared his throat. "Alright! This is when Cielo and her guardians waited in the stairs as if Cielo has a date to go to." He paused when he noticed a couple of models aren't happy about that.

"Sora-darling, I want you to go upstairs and stay in the middle of it." He watched his petite model walked up the stairs and stopped in the middle of it. "Bene. Now, I want you to carefully look at each of your guardians slowly and once you accomplish that, then slowly descend down the stairs, understand? Good, boys, let's see…" Kikyo mentally went through ideas of poses for this set then settled one.

"Verde, I want you to stand on the bottom of the stairs on Sora's right. Viper, go to the left side of the stairs about half-way from Sora. Skull, same position as Viper but opposite. Colonello, same position as Verde, but opposite as well. Reborn, please go to couple steps above Sora on her left side and Fon, same position but opposite. Bene. Now, Bermuda, I want you to be at the couple steps above Reborn and Fon but behind Sora. That's it. After Sora did her part, then the rest of you will improv. There we go… Bene." Kikyo pressed his precious camera. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; on the middle of the stairs, Sora fidgeted slightly as she placed her hand on her left elbow while her left-hand touches her right shoulder. She tilted her head to Verde first, then to Skull, to Fon, to Bermuda, to Reborn, to Viper, and Colonello.

Her caramel-eyes glanced down then slowly descended the stairs step by step carefully. Meanwhile, Bermuda steps down and gently reached for the petite model's hand that was touching her shoulder. Sora halted and glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes stared straight at his onyx eyes for a few seconds then she felt a soft feathery touch on her left bare shoulder.

Sora turned her eyes away to the other onyx mischievous eyes. Reborn smirked slightly at her as Sora shivered by his touch. Then her right hand was gently taken from her elbow that caught her attention as well.

The petite model shifted her eyes to sharp grey eyes. Fon gently smiles at her when he held her right hand and pecked while his eyes stay on her. Sora couldn't help but blush at this gesture. Then Bermuda pushed Sora lightly as if urging her to go down the stairs and she obeyed.

Then Viper and Skull simultaneously walked to Sora once she is a couple step above them. Fon released her hand while Reborn shifted his hand down and placed his palm against her back. Bermuda still holding onto her. Viper grabbed her left hand as Skull grabbed her right hand. They act as if they were guiding her down the stairs until she almost reaches the end.

Verde pushed his glasses upward while Colonello winked at her charmingly as they walked closer to her direction. And now there are seven models that are crowded around her as if they are protecting her from anything dangerous that could harm her. Click. Click. Click.

The photographer lowered his camera and beamed with satisfied. "Perfetto!" Kikyo praised his models' work. He turned to Sandy, "Please take Sora-darling and change her next outfit." Sandy understood and went to the petite model.

Sandy grabbed the tiny model and gently dragged Tsuna back to the dressing room.

Nana waited until her son was out of her sights then she turned to the photographer. "They are not going to change?" she asked with curious as she is eyeing the models.

"No. This part is for harmony with elements, I admit that. However, this is more of the Cielo-center with her precious elements." Kikyo explained briefly. Then he cleared his throat. "Alright, gentlemen, please follow me to the next set."

The models along with others followed Kikyo out of the room and down the hallways. They have changed few directions until Kikyo paused.

Front of them is a rather fancy hallway, unlike other halls they've walked. The floor was cream-marbles, the wall was painted old-fashioned dull-gold with heavy burnt orange curtains, and crystals chandelier in the middle of the hallway. At the end of the hallway, there are double doors that were shut with a few boarded against to keep any intruders away. The atmosphere in the hallway is rather dark and mysterious. "This is the second set." Kikyo informed.

"Wow…" Nana mumbled in awed while Lal was slightly impressed with it. The models weren't really interested in it much since they have seen things like the halls before in their stardom life.

After half an hour later, Sandy arrived with Tsuna with helping hand. "Here's Sora-chan." Sandy announced the petite model's presence. Everyone turned and was amazed by the tiny model's appearance once again.

"How lovely!" Nana whispered as she clasped her hands in front of her chest as she observed her son.

Tsuna wears asymmetric empire ginger-shade of orange floor-length dress, a marigold thin chains-like belt wrapped around his hip, marigold choker, marigold chains armlet wrapped around his left arm, and ginger-shade gloves. His hair changed into waterfall braids with bronze-shade cuffs and fire-shade small charms, a pumpkin-orange shade of gem shaped of a simple Aztec-like sun placed on the middle of his forehead, and marigold-shade of orange flats shows when he walks.

'He looks like a Sun Goddess with this type of style.' Nana mused.

"You look beautiful, Sora-darling." Kikyo smiled at Tsuna who thanked him with blushes. "Alright, now, to the second set. This is when Cielo is taking a stroll down the hallway while her guardians are following her, watching over her, as they are guarding her against any danger. It's like a simple day for Cielo, understand? Good… now, Sora, I would like you to go down the hallway and stopped about a few feet away from the doors, okay? Bene."

Kikyo turned to his male models. "Gentlemen, before you go there and stand behind Sora, I want you to stay here and one by one, you walk toward her. Sora, darling, don't move until all these gentlemen are behind you, okay? Bene. We'll start with Skull, Colonello, Verde, Fon, Viper, Reborn, and Bermuda. Understand? Wonderful…" the teal-head man started his camera right away. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora is standing a few feet away from the sealed doors. First, Skull walked pass the photographer into his camera view on the side. Skull has his arms folded behind his head as he walked calmly toward the petite model.

Sora watched the purple-head model walking toward her, then Colonello walks a few steps away from Skull, then slowly, Verde, Fon, Viper, Reborn, and Bermuda followed in their own styles.

When they finally reached their destination, they were standing behind the petite model. Sora noticed Kikyo signal that she can now, start walking. The petite model walks forward to the direction where the photographer is.

The models followed behind her. Skull still has his arms folded behind his head as he looked very calm and slightly bored. Colonello has his left-hand tuck in his back pocket while his other hand rubbed the back of his neck as if he just woke up from a nap a while ago. Verde has his hands shoved in his front pockets with boredom face. Fon has his hands clasped behind his back as his head was slightly tilted, almost as if he's keeping his eyes around his surroundings.

Viper has his hands on his sides while his head was tilted to his side as if he was examined the wall with boredom. Reborn reached for his mouth and slowly wipe his bottom lip with his thumb as he stared at Sora's back with interested and glanced away. And lastly, Bermuda has his arms crossed with his eyes above Sora's head, almost as if he is making sure no threatening coming toward the petite model's direction.

After a few minutes when they are getting closer to the photographer, they simultaneously stopped when the teal-head man held up his hand to signal them paused their walk. After a couple of shots, Kikyo leaned back and nodded his head. "Eccellente!" he turned to Sandy, "Sandy, will you please…?" he trailed off and Sandy knew right away what the photographer wanted her to do.

"Of course, sir." Sandy smiled at Tsuna who immediately knew that he has to go with her and change another outfit.

When the petite model and Sandy left, Kikyo beckoned his models to lead them to the third set. "After this, we will take a break." He promised, unknowingly a certain model couldn't wait to play with a tiny model.

Location: Outside of Perla dell' Anima Perduta (Pearl of Lost Soul)

Signora di Giardino

"Welcome to the Signora di Giardino; it means Lady of Garden." Kikyo helpfully translates for Nana who beamed at him with gratitude.

The garden is truly beautiful and a sight to behold. It's large enough for having a big festival party. There is a fancy patio that was nearby the building, planting bed surrounding around the large lawn, across from the patio, is a two-story shed, next to the shed has fruit garden and the other side is a vegetable garden. There are many different types of flowers, such as anemone, daisy family, sweet alyssum, amaryllis, crocus, wood anemone, chrysanthemum, marigolds, snapdragons, ipomoea, lavender, cyclamen, daffodil, foxgloves, and so on.

Nana walked closer to the flowers and smiles lovely at it. She gently touches the sunflowers while Lal is checking on the models as Iza reapply the make-on on a few models. Kikyo watched the manager with interested the walked to her. "You like flowers?"

"Hai… they are beautiful. Gardening is one of my hobbies. I enjoy tending to it." Nana said with a smile. "I used to have a ton of camellia back home, but they were wilted and gone because of the terrible storm." She sighed in disappointment. "I wanted to buy new seeds but, the floral store ran out of it."

Kikyo hummed as he glanced around the garden in attempted to find the camellia until his eyes spotted a white camellia flower. He went, grabbed it ad back to Nana who is busy smelling the flowers. "Is this it?" he asked, just to make sure, it's been a while since he has known a few types of flowers.

Nana turned and gasped. "You found Cornish snow camellia!" she gushed at the beautiful flower. Kikyo smiles in amused with slight fond eyes. He placed the flower in Nana's hair which surprised her. She stared at him with puzzling eyes but Kikyo just mysterious smile at her then walked away back to the models.

The mother couldn't control the pink appeared in her cheeks. 'Wh-what…?' She stared at the back of the photographer. She reached the flower that was tuck in her ear. Her heart fluttered a little, she never experiences a man do this kind of gesture to her. Not even her ex-husband done this to her. Her fake-blue eyes glanced down as a small smile appeared on her face.

Unknowingly to her, Kikyo has glanced back and smile when he saw her smiling face when she touches the flower. 'How cute.' He mused with silent chuckled.

After a few minutes later, Sandy arrived along with Tsuna followed behind her. Once again, Tsuna's appearance was stunning.

Tsuna wears off-shoulder, A-line floor-length melon-orange shade dress, melon-orange chiffon single sleeves that attached to marigold arm-bands, a marigold chain that wrapped around underneath his chest with a fire-orange gem on the middle, marigold bangles with middle rings attached, sunrise-orange shades of glitters were smeared around his eyes and marigold flats. His hair changed to embellished low pigtails braids with marigold cuffs and marigold mini pearls. A fire-orange shade of circlet placed on his head with a small gem attached that stopped between his eyebrows.

Nana quickly went to her son. "Sora-chan! You look very stunning!" her son thanked her with a shy smile. The photographer agreed with Nana that Tsuna is very striking.

"Alright, models, eyes on me, please." Kikyo got their attention. "Now, this is the part when Cielo and her guardians are resting on the grass underneath a fine day." It was lucky that today is a warm sun with slightly breezy. "It's one of those relaxing days for Cielo and her guardians," Kikyo said with a smile, then he turned to one of the staffs that brought the ladder. "We will be doing a few positions in this set. First, Sora-darling, I want you to have fun as you are enjoying the warm day in the garden. I want you to improv, can you do that for me?" Tsuna bit his lip with worried but nodded his head. He will try his best.

"Great. And gentlemen, as usual, please improv and follow Sora's lead, understand? Bene." Kikyo glanced at the staff. "You can leave the ladder there, I will need it later." Then he lifted his camera. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora took a breather for a few seconds then she glanced at the models who waited for her to start on her improv. Sora attempted to think of anything to have 'fun', so she closed her eyes. What would she do when she is having fun in the beautiful garden?

Even though she is fourteen years old (soon to be fifteen), what would she do, if she is with her friends in the garden? 'Wait…' she opened her eyes, she glanced at a few models that became her friends. 'I do have friends… so… I can use one of my old fantasy ideas when I was little back in…' she mused as she knew it's silly but, it was her idea of having fun with friends.

Sora walked up to Fon who is closer, she reached for his hands as Fon just smiles softly at her. Then she led him to Skull and grabbed his hand as well. Sora looked up at the Chinese model and punk model. Then lead them to Colonello, "Please take his hand." She asked Fon shyly.

Fon blinked but obeyed as he offered his hand to Colonello who stared at it and glanced at Sora's pleading eyes. Colonello shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Fon's hand. Soon, other models got an idea that Sora wants them to connect with holding hands.

Skull grabbed Viper's hand. Viper grabbed Bermuda. Bermuda grabbed Verde, and Colonello unwillingly grabbed Reborn's hand as they both glared at each other with barely concealed irritated.

And now, Sora and the models are hand-holding in a circle. Sora then moved to her left as she gently pushed the punk model while dragging Fon toward her. Soon, they are walking in a circle, then Sora speeds up which surprise the gentlemen. Skull chuckled softly at the childish yet shy Sora who made eyes contacts at him.

As much as it was very silly for Sora to do this kind of action, the male models couldn't help but glance at her with amused. They didn't think that petite model would be so innocent and childlike, it was actually adorable. Click. Click. Click.

Kikyo carefully as he walked forward while snapping his camera at his models. A small smile appeared on his face. He could see the gentlemen felt silly when they comply with Sora's improv but, they seem to be having a little fun.

Meanwhile, Nana giggled while Lal was gob-smacked and amazed. 'Never thought that a tiny girl would actually make them do a dance circle….' Then she grabbed her smartphone and decided it was perfect for blackmail in a personal touch. 'Especially I knew some of them would want to make sure the photos wouldn't show their face in public.' Lal grinned wickedly at this wonderful golden opportunity.

The photographer finished a couple more photo shoots. "Alright! Now, Sora-darling, I want you to sit comfortably. Gentlemen, I leave up to you on how you gather around your Cielo." A smirk appeared on a teal-head man as he lifted his camera. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora turned around and sat down on the glossy green grass to make herself comfortable. She glanced up at the models with curious on how they were going to sit around her. There are seven of them, after all.

The models glanced at each other and then Reborn smirked. He bends down and lay his head against on Sora's lap. Which surprised the tiny model as blushes appeared on her face. Her caramel-eyes stared down at naughty twinkling onyx eyes then he closed his eyes. Sora didn't know to want to do with this position. It's a good thing she decided to curl her legs, instead of cross-legs. 'It would be uncomfortable.' She mused.

Bermuda moved around and sits behind Sora with one leg curls and other leg bends up close to her arm. He wrapped his arms around her hip as she leaned back against his chest. Blushes got darker for Sora when Bermuda placed his chin on her left bare shoulder. Colonello sat down next to Sora as he gently grabbed her left hand to lifted and pressed her fingertips on his lips. His sharp blue eyes stared down at her speechless eyes.

Skull pouted as he wanted to be close to Sora, but then he got an idea and a playful grinned appeared on his face. He immediately lay down with his head on Reborn's stomach. Reborn opened his one eye and glared at grinning smug Skull.

Reborn clicked his tongue as he doesn't want to move in his position since he was comfortable. So, he decided to tolerate for now as he silently vowed himself that he will beat the punk boy ass later. Fon, Verde, and Viper watched them then the Chinese model walked around the Reborn and bend down on one knee and grabbed Sora's free hand.

Sora turned to Fon with curious and confused. She watched Fon gently drawing randomly pattern on her palm until he entwines his long fingers with hers. Fon gave her his soft smile which Sora shyly smiles back.

"How troublesome." Viper mumbled then walked to grab a common daisy from the garden then walked back to the group. He sat down next to Colonello while waited for Sora's attention. When Sora drifted her attention to him. Viper showed the small daisy to Sora, he leaned forward and placed it in Sora's ear and then rushed feather-like touch against her cheek and sat back on the ground.

Sora glanced down with heavy blushed. She is not used to so much attention from handsome models. Lastly, Verde walked around and pats Sora's head and sat down on sideways with his knees bend as his hands rested on the ground behind him. He tilted his head as his eyes are upward to the sky pretending that he was sky-watching while being content just being near the petite model. Click. Click. Click.

It was a beautiful scene that Kikyo couldn't stop snapping his camera. Then he stopped and grinned widely as he couldn't wait to see the end of all the project to look of amazing photos. "Alright! Now, one more position!" he beckoned one of the staffs to bring the ladder in. "Now, Sora, and gentlemen, I want you all to lay on the ground in circle position." Kikyo made sure that the ladder was placed nearby, so he could take pictures from above.

He watched and waited for his models to get in the positions. He climbed up the steps of the ladder and placed his elbow on the step and adjusted his camera comfortably enough to shoot pictures. "Bene." He whispered. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora lays on the ground along with other male models. On Sora's left side, is where Reborn, to Fon, to Viper, to Verde, to Skull, to Bermuda, and lastly to Colonello.

Sora has her eyes closed as if she's been bathing from the warm sun. Reborn placed his one arm behind his head as his other hand rested on his stomach. Fon gently combed his waterfall hair as his eyes are half-way. Viper tilted his head to Fon as if he's asleep. Verde has his glasses off while his arms are crossed with his eyes closed. Skull has his arms folded behind his head with a huge grinned on his face. Colonello lay on his side, facing the forged napping Sora as he is watching her with softening eyes.

After a few minutes, the gentlemen decided to turn over and stared at the petite model with interested. They did a couple of different positions until Kikyo was satisfied with the photoshoots so far. Click. Click. Click.

"Meravigliosa!" the photographer beamed at his models as he climbed down the ladders. "Alright, now we take thirty minutes break!" Kikyo informed.

Tsuna mentally sighed in relief as he slumped in shoulders. Before he could stand up, a hand offered front of him. Tsuna blinked and followed the hand that belongs to Fon. The petite model blushed, he accepted Fon's hand and he was pulled up to his feet gently. "Xièxiè, Fon-san."

Fon blinked in surprised then smiles pleasantly at him. "Bù kèqì, Sora."

"Sora!" Skull went up to Tsuna's side with an excited grinned. "Want to join me for lunch?" he asked with hopeful eyes.

Before Tsuna could answer, Colonello placed his arm around the tiny model's shoulder. "No way, she will join me for lunch, kora." He sticks his tongue out at Skull.

"Why would she want to join you?! I'm her friend!"

"So? I'm her friend too, kora."

Viper sighed and mumbled about time and money as he walked away while Verde already disappeared to somewhere.

"Shut up, lackey." Reborn kicked Skull's back of his knee that forced him to fell forward.

Tsuna flinched in shocked. "Skull-kun?!" he took a step toward to a punk model with concerned. He was startled when Reborn sent him his dangerous dark smirk. Tsuna gulped then shook it off, he would not just ignore Skull, he is his friend!

The petite model ignored Reborn as he went to Skull and helped him. "Are you alright?"

Skull accepted Tsuna's help. "Thanks, Sora-chan!" he beamed.

Then Reborn placed his hand on Tsuna's shoulder who froze with nervous and fear. He turned his head over his shoulder and gulped nervously when he saw Reborn's dark glint in his eyes.

"Now, now…" Fon step up. "How about we all join together for lunch?" he offered while Bermuda stands in the background, sympathizing for the poor tiny model. Bermuda noticed that his stomach was rumbled from hunger, so he went to Tsuna and grabbed his hand.

"Come." Bermuda said in a soft tone and gently dragged Tsuna away from the models who stared with astounded.

The models exchanged their glances. Who would've thought that Bermuda would be interested in Sora?

Dining Room

Tsuna noticed many people sat down and eat their foods while others are at the buffet table with a plate to gather their foods. Bermuda released Tsuna's hand and tilted his head.

The petite model understood and followed the silent model to the buffet. Bermuda handed the plate to Tsuna and grabbed one of the plates for himself. Tsuna walked alongside with Bermuda while eyeing on the foods to pick. 'So much options…' Tsuna hummed quietly as he is contemplating.

Tsuna snapped out of it when Bermuda tapped his shoulder. The petite model glanced up and noticed Bermuda pointed at one of the foods that looked quite appetizing. "Margherita pizza." Bermuda suggested.

"Ah… looks and smell delicious." Tsuna said with a smile then he grabbed a piece and placed on his plate. Then from the corner of his eyes, he saw his mother and Kikyo are chatting together. It was his first time seen his mother glowing as she is paying attention to the photographer.

'Is she… interest in him?' Tsuna mused with curious.

Meanwhile, with Nana and Kikyo who are half-eating their lunch and chatting. The manager giggled when Kikyo told her about his experiences during his college.

"So, during that time… everyone decided to call you and your friends, 'Six Funeral Wreaths'? All because of the accident?" Nana asked with fascinated.

Kikyo nodded his head. "Hai. Zakuro, Daisy, Bluebell, Torikabuto, and Ghost decided that I become their leader." He shook his head. "It's only because I got us out of the situation from being so close to expelled."

"Wow… and are they all a photographer, like you?"

"Hai, but they have their own styles. For example, Daisy is more into dark and scary styles, like Halloween theme."

Nana's eyes glowed with amazed. "And what about others? What's their style?"

"Hmm… Bluebell is more childish, cute things. Such as fruits, fantasy, animals, and things like that. She is the youngest photographer and most talented. Torikabuto is an old-fashioned type, he mostly likes old age that relates battles and myth and demons. Ghost is more of an emotional style, things like tragedy, angst, and deep feelings. And lastly, Zakuro is… very inappropriate. His type of styles is rather… wicked and lustful."

The manager blinked then smiles. "I see. Each of them is rather unique. It would be wonderful to meet them someday!"

"Of course." Kikyo smiles at her. 'And I need to warn Zakura not to flirt with Yun.' He mentally added in his mental list. After all, this manager is a very pretty-looking person.

Then they engaged the next topic int heir conversation happily.

Back to Tsuna who already sat down on a table with Bermuda. Skull, Fon, and Colonello joined in later with their foods. In the middle of eating, Skull swallowed his food and turned to Tsuna. "Sora-chan, do you remembered when we talked about the movies?"

"Hmm… oh, uh… Gelaro, right?" Tsuna recalled that and Skull nodded his head with a grinned.

Colonello looked up with interested and curious. "Wait… so this whole time, when you were talking through the phone… you were talking to Sora, kora?!" he stared at Skull with disbelieve.

Skull looked smug. "Of course. Sora-chan is my friend." Colonello twitched with annoyed at the punk model.

Tsuna sweatdropped. "Gelaro is one of the talented actors." Fon joined in, attempt to avoid the fight between the ex-soldier model and punk model. "I personally enjoyed, 'The Cold Luck' film."

Colonello breaks the staring contact to Fon with raised eyebrows. "That's rather a grim movie, kora." He commented.

"Ummm…" Tsuna was hesitant. "I don't know anything about that film…" he blushed with mortified. Since he just recently learned the exist of Gelaro person.

Fon just smiles warmly. "It's alright. It's an American film, I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know." He assured.

"Actually, Sora-chan doesn't know Gelaro-sempai." Skull pointed it out which surprised the others. "So, I suggest that she could watch 'Extreme Risk', it has Japanese subtitle."

Colonello tilted his head. "Or you can watch, 'The Tale of Rain', kora." He suggested it. "It's one of the Japanese films, kora."

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot about that movie, it came out last year?" Skull attempted to recall.

Tsuna frowned. "I think I've heard of that title before…" he mumbled. 'I think I remember mama mention about that movie.'

"You can watch that movie with your mother." Fon said and Tsuna glanced at him then nodded his head. Tsuna will watch that movie with his mother then. Maybe, after they go back home from this job. After a few minutes, Tsuna finished his food and drank his water. Then, he stood up as nature is calling.

"Excuse me. I'm going to the restroom." The models got the message and continued their lunch and chat. Tsuna left the table, out of the dining room. He attempts to remember where the bathroom location.

When Tsuna found the bathroom. He went to do his business and after that, washed his hands and walked out of the restroom. He walked down the hall that leads back to the dining room, however, a hand shot out and grabbed his elbow to pulled him in the empty room.

"Heeiii!" Tsuna squealed in shocked. He snapped his head to the person who grabbed him and eyes wide in fear.

Reborn smirks dangerously at the tiny model who took step back and leaned against the closed door. The male model trapped Tsuna with his hands placed against the door between Tsuna. "Ciao bambino." He purred.

Tsuna gulped heavily as he sweats nervously. "H-h-hai?"

"Tell me… why are you pretending to be Sora?" Tsuna bit his lip. "And why is your mother pretending to be a man?" Reborn practically demanded Tsuna to answer.

However, Tsuna snapped. "I'm fine with you to want to know something about me but leave my mother out of this!" his caramel-eyes lighten up in anger. "I refuse to disclose the reasons behind my mother's action and decision. If you want to tell the whole world about me, go ahead. But never… never reveal my mother's secrets." His eyes dramatically changed to fire-orange. "Otherwise… you'll have to face me." He warned Reborn with anger and protective.

Reborn stared at Tsuna emotionlessly then pushed himself away in silence. Then he flicked Tsuna's forehead who startled back to his normal timid personality. "Baka… I've told you this before. This is my own decision to discover. If no one figures your secret out then, that's on them. Your secrets, your mother's are not mine to say. I only uncover things on my own to satisfy." Tsuna stared at Reborn with stunned. "I may be an asshole, but that doesn't mean I want to destroy your life along with your mother."

Then the tall model opened one of the double doors next to Tsuna. "However,… I am much too captivated by you, bambino." He whispered with a playful smirk and left dumbfounded Tsuna alone.

"….what the hell?" Tsuna blurted it out in astonished.

Family Room

The family room is very large, there is a cream-fireplace against the wall with a small old-fashioned grandfather clock on top. The floor was covered with soft cream-carpet and the furniture that used to belong in the family room was pushed aside. In the middle of the family room, is a black throne chair with burnt orange cushion.

Everyone has been waiting and prepared for the fourth set. When Sandy walked in, she announced Tsuna's presence.

Tsuna walked in with a completely different outfit. He wears a tiger-orange shade of strapless, straight across the mini dress. With a tangerine-orange shade of see-through cloth of layer on top of the 'skirt', the layer is below the 'mini-skirt' that reached above his knees, and orange ribbon tied around his waist with a bow on the back and the length that fell to his mid-calves. Marigold ankle strap heels. His left thigh is covered with honey-orange shade of rhinestones gems in unique stylish. His right arm, from his shoulder to his inner elbow is covered with honey-orange shade of rhinestones gems that reminded of Aztec-patterns. Marigold choker with an orange gem on the middle, marigold bangles in both wrists, and marigold diamond earrings. His hairstyles changed to Khaleesi inspired twist with marigold mini-cuffs.

"How pretty!" Nana gushed her son's appearance once again. It never fails her how much her son could be so beautiful whenever he wears amazing and lovely clothes as a female. And of course, as a male, he is very cute and handsome.

"I agreed." Kikyo smiles at his tiny model. "Now, this is the fourth set and last with guardians. So, this is when Cielo sits on her throne while her guardians surrounding her. Sora-darling, please take a sit on the throne, and gentlemen, I trust you could improve from there." A mysterious glint appeared in the photographer's eyes. He lifted his camera. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora sat down on the throne comfortably that she crosses her leg to show off her proper and feminine-like. She glanced at the models with curious on how they would do to surrounding her.

The models murmured to each other for a few minutes then Colonello walked toward her. He sat on the ground, a front of her left leg as his shoulder barely touch her. He bent his leg as his other leg lay in front of him while his plan on the ground and other rested on his bend knee. Skull joined in the same position as Colonello, but in the opposite.

Fon went to Sora's right side, leaned on the chair-arm with his arms crossed and his eyes are closed. Reborn went to the petite model's left side, the same position as Fon. Verde and Viper stood behind the models and leaned against the chair edges in the opposite. Lastly, Bermuda stood behind the chair.

After a few photos, Kikyo's voice spoke up. "Now, please changed to intimate pose." Then went back to snapping his camera.

Sora blushed heavily when the male models changed a little that got rather intimate for her. Colonello grabbed her leg, uncross her leg and lower his lips that barely touch her knee. Skull wrapped his hand around Sora's other ankle as he leaned against his head on her thigh. Fon reached for her hand, lifted to his lips as it touches her inner wrist. While Reborn took her other hand and allow her fingertips pressed against his lips. Viper leaned to Sora as he touches her side of her neck carefully yet lovely, and Verde allows his finger gave a feather-like touch on her other shoulder which made her shivered. And lastly, Bermuda reached his hand to lifted Sora's chin up and traces her jawline.

This scene made women envy and/or fangirling over it while men were jealous. Lal raised her eyebrows at this while Nana attempted to control her fangirling over her adorable son with seven handsome models. 'So cute!'

While this also made Kikyo crazy as he kept snapping his camera. He absolutely loves it. Click. Click. Click.

"Splendido! Wonderful!" Kikyo beamed widely at this. "Thank you, gentlemen, for your hard work so far." He glanced at the confused petite model. "The last set is only for you as the main Sky." Tsuna understood and allowed Sandy to grab his hand to drag him out to the dressing room once again.

The photographer then turned his attention on his models. "Thank you for all your hard work, gentlemen." He gave his thankful smile at them. "Feel free to leave or stay if you so wish." He offered and to his surprise, the models weren't rushing to change nor leave the set. 'I guess they rather stay and watch Sora do on her last set.' He mused with amused. Even Lal thought the same as she watches them with interested and amused as well.

Living Room

The living room is large, almost similar to family room, except the living room is more for the guests to gather and hang-out. The furniture is pushed away to make a room for the burnt-orange sheet that hands up as the background and the ground was covered with soft cream-rug. The staffs are making sure the lights are set up properly while Kikyo double checked his camera.

The models have changed out of their costume back into their comfort clothes. They are standing or sitting in the background while Nana and Lal are whispered to each other with a random topic to pass the time.

Then when Tsuna came in that caught all heads' attention. Tsuna wears pure orange strapless bubble ball gown with fire-orange shade of ribbon tied around his waist, his bare shoulders are covered with honey-orange shade of glitters, marigold rhinestones glued around his neck to top of the straight across edge as if it makes it 'illusion under-top', marigold bangles with middle ring attached in both wrists, marigold armlet that resemble of a lion body around his left bicep, marigold flats, and his eyes are covered with fire-orange shade of smokey eyeshadows. His hairstyle changed to formal bun with loose braid and marigold with an orange gem in the middle of a circlet crown.

His appearance reminded Nana of a beautiful princess from fairy tales. "Beautiful!" Nan was amazed.

"Truly." Kikyo agreed with the manager then smiles at his petite model. "Now, Sora-darling… this is up to you, any pose you want, improve if you are comfortable. This is the part where Cielo is the royalty." He watched the tiny model walked to the last set then held up his camera. "Ready when you are." Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora decided to do the over her shoulder pose from Make-Up artist, Sandy's suggested. She turned around, her back facing the camera and her shin tilted over her shoulder as her eyes are half-way to showed off the bow, glitter, and rhinestones on the back. The pose she showed, it makes it formal, secrecy, and somewhat seductive.

After a few seconds, Sora turned around as she placed her hand on her left hip as her other hand laying against her side while her head was tilted slightly. Again, this pose shows that she is rather graceful and sophisticated. Click. Click. Click.

Kikyo continued snapping his camera whenever the tiny model does a few poses in her own comfortable pace and time.

Meanwhile, the models in the background were watching quietly at Tsuna. Unknowingly, that a figure of a woman walked in silently with Gamma followed behind.

"Oh my… Sora-chan is beautiful." Luce whispered with a smile. Gamma hummed with agreed. They both hide their presences as they are watching the Sky model doing the last set on his own. "It seems there's no trouble with this project so far." Luce was beyond excited to see when Elementi Project is finished. Then the CEO has an idea. 'We could have a short celebrate party in a couple of days! That way, we'll show our appreciate and victory to have finally finished the project.' She couldn't wait as she is very excited.

The photographer's voice speaks up. "Great job! Now we have completed the Elementi Project!" everyone gave a cheered and applauded.

'Yes… a party would be an excellent idea.' Luce thought with a smile.
