Chapter 6

Life was pretty normal in Namimori as nothing too outragous occured in the last few years. If you ignored the local Yakuza, Highschool thugs, and the Rise of the Skylark abd his mission to bite the previous two to death then yeah it was pretty normal.

Tsuna was a new person alltogether though, and even if this didn't effect the town it totally effected those in Primary school. Thanks to Tsuna not being an idiot the teachers could finally focus on the rest of the class and call out other idiots. This also meant that he avoided his Useless Tsuna nickname that would have later evolved into no good Tsuna.

But just because Tsuna was a little smarter now didn't mean he was a perfect kid.

Tsuna was still a massive wimp as he was still deathly affraid of dogs and fighting, and his physical skills were that of a young infants. Tsuna was extremely clumsy and probably fell on his face atleast a five times a day. He remained shy and wouldn't talk to any boys his age and just stuck around Terra, Kyoko, and Hana. The funny thing was that a rumor started going around that Sawada Tsunayoshi was actually a girl and that's why he only plays with girls.

Terra and Hana thought that the rumor was the funniest shut they ever heard and made sure to show it in their own ways. Hana liked to tease Tsuna by calling him Tsuna-chan, and Terra just smiled everytime hana teased him.

This made Tsuna's heart bled as he was a guy and he didn't like being seen as a girl, his only saving grace was that Kyoko didn't openly tease or laugh at him.

It took a few months before a new rumor popped it's head up and everyone forgot about Tsuna's gender being questioned.

Terra's Pov:

At home Terra finished celebrating her ninth birthday with Verde and Keiman.

She was happy to receive an old necklace that used to belong to her deceased mother.

"Dad what was my mother like?"

Verde choked up a little before he raised his hand to readjust his glasses so the glare would hid his eyes.

"Well she was a very intelligent person and a vey beautifull one as well."

Terra scowled a bit and looked a little annoyed at the answer she got.

"That's already a fact if you shared your affection with her dad, what I want to know is who she was?"

Verde looked at Terra for an extended time not saying anything and not moving a muscle as he was lost in his thoughts.

"Please dad for whatever reason the thought has been bothering me as of late and I keep finding it harder and harder to concentrate."

Verde knew how serious his daughter was as she doesn't like to talk much, and if she was willing to complete long sentences than it was a pretty large deal to her. So Verde just sighed and figured that he should have seen this coming when he decided to gift Terra her mothers Necklace.

"Well Terra what your to hear isn't going to be just about your mother but also her family."

Terra just nodded showing that she was ready.

"Well your mother's name was Seiiki Tsuki, she was a brilliant scientist who researched the relationship between matter and energy and how a living beings energy could effect matter."

Terra was confused but she decided to remain silent and to allow Verde to continue.

"Tsuki was keen on finding out how the life energy could effect matter and what purposes it could perform. To put it into simpilair terms she was studying the dying will flames. Anyways on a trip to Mount Fuji both me and your mother met and shared some of our thoughts with eachother. One thing led to another and we ended up making you by accident. Now that doesn't mean I didn't want you, but by now you already know me enough to know that I don't like loud and annoying things."

Terra just nodded her head. It was indeed true that a normal child would be loud and quite annoying, something that Verde would be ill equiped to tolerate or take care of.

"Anyways Tsuki died giving birth to you, and wished for me to take care of you. At first I truly thought of giving you over to her family but I decided to honor her dying wish. Throughout the years i've enjoyed your company and i'm quite happy that I made the decision to rause you"

"Now on a more detailed analysis on her person would be that she was a very beautiful japanese person with incredible genes. You share with her your blue hair and you also have her face. Tsuki loved eating tangerines, hated the winter, liked to sleep while listening to the rain...ect.."

Terra just sat there and listened to Verde gush about her mother. She was a bit astonished that Verde cared that much about her mother in the short amount of time he knew her. She was vey interested in all of the things she was told about her mother and continued to listen for another half an hour.

"And that's about all I know about Tsuki, any questions?"

Terra shook her head from side to side giving Verde a 'no'.

"Alright now it's time to explain to you about the Seiiki family."

'nod' (Terra)

"The Seiiki family first originated from feudal japan where it started out as a family woth the status of Samurai and later became a part of the Daimyos.

The Seiiki family is strongly related to Japan's Military and all throughout history your ancestors fought to uphold the nations values. "

"During the second world war your great grand father Seiiki Hakaku fought the United States as one of its best pilots. His feats were terrifying as he survived every battle he went into always coming back with multiple kills. But what really made him legendary is that every time he would commit a kamikaze attack he would always somehow survive and return just to get into a new plane and fly straight back into the battle.

Thanks to multiple witnesses confirming his kamikaze's he was nicknamed Fujin as he couldn't be killed."

Terra was amazed learning about her grandfather and how utterly terrifying it would be to survive performing multiple Kamikaze attacks. She knew for a fact that Seiiki Hakaku didn't exsist in her previous life and if he did she would have definitely made an awesome boss character using him.

'Oh... probably should have put him in Tsuna's game... well whatever.' (Terra)

"After The United States ended the war and Japan surrendered your great grandfather retired. Well technacally he was forced to retire as Japan lost its right to have a military but that didn't stop yoir great grandfather."

Terra looked confused and tilted her head.

"What do you mean?"

Verde laughed a bit and once more readjusted his glasses.

"Well you see the Main clans from the Feudal era technically still exsist, and i'm not talking about random descendents i'm talking about the main clans. At the time most of these families opperated in the military but after the war they broke up once again amd started to act similair to the Mafia. They are not the Yakuza though, they are more like a vigilantee version of the united states secret service."

Terra's eyes went round as a ton of thoughts ran through her head as she assimilated them into many potential game ideas. It was very interesting for her to know that ancient clans still operated today.

"Thanks to your great grandfather the Seiiki clan accumulated a ton of honor and made it easier to clear a path to the top of the clan rankings. Your Grandfather Seiiki Hiroto only further cemented the Seiiki family as a top clan as he was a naturaul genius when it comes to economics and politics.

Hiroto brought up many buisnesses related to the media and electronics making the Seiiki family beyond rich, you could say that the Seiiki control atleast 1/5th of Japan."

"Hiroto only had one child and it was your mother Seiiki Tsuki. She was hailed as a genius and was very spoiled from her family. Hiroto wanted Tsuki to follow his path and become a great politician and buisnessman but your mother turned him down. She was a scientist, Tsuki never cared about money or power all she wanted to do was to learn and experiment, to understand the unknown."

"Hiroto apparently couldn't accept the way Tsuki acted and always forces her to help out with him every now and then. Tsuki said she could atleast deal with that as it wasn't to great of a deal, but eventually he went overboard."

Terra's eyes sharpened slightly as she listenned vey closely to what was about to be said next.

"One day he accepted a request to marry of his daughter to another clan without her permission. She was obviously furious with he father and ran away from her clan. She fled the country and visited many places around the world researching many religions and natural phenomenons that occured. One day she accidentally interacted with low grade dying will flames and became infactuated with studying them. A few years passed and she finally returned to Japan to study Mount Fugi's reactions to energy, and that's how we met."

Terra just nodded and tried to digest all of the information she received.

"Now you'll probably ask what relations those old fogies have to you so i'll tell you. Both Hakaku and Hiroto are alive today and they are probably somewhat aware of your exsistance."

Terra was shocked that Seiiki Hakaku was still alive and kicking but then again he did live through Kamikazes so he'd probably resist ageing pretty well too.

"Hiroto will most likely try to force you into marrying the clan he engaged your mother too. As Tsuki didn't marry into the clan and instead ran away and had a child with an outsider the clan probably lost a lot of honor, and he'll try to regain that honor by having you fulfill that promise."

Terra just sat there and thought for a bit before looking at Vede.

"How many clans are there and which clan was the engagement with?" (Terra)

"Well it's funny really officially the clan doesn't have a clan name, but in their circle it's known as the Amaterasu clan named after it's ancient ancestor."

Terra's eyes go large and for once in her life he body start to shake a bit in fear.

"Are you saying that the Amaterasu clan is the imperial family?" (Terra)

Verde frowned and shook his head yes.

"Unfortunately that is the case, and answering your other question their are nine clans including the Seiiki clan amd the Amaterasu clan."

The room was silent for a short pause before Verde decided to continue his info dump.

"The clans roles are to follow the will of japan and support the Amaterasu clan. That's not to say that they are their subjects but that each generation has to set up its own alliances and set its own ideology for japan to follow."

"So do you finally understand how dire your situation is?"

Terra gave a dazed nod before replying to Verde in a very monotone voice.

"The mafia will come after me if they know that i'm your daughter, and the Seiiki clan will also come after me and force me into an engagement with the Amaterasu clan." (Terra)

Verde just sighed as he looked at his daughter.

'If only you knew about your own insane dying will flames you'd be even more well aware of how much danger you're in. what the mafia would do to you just to make you their weapon.' (Verde)

"Anyways you should head off to bed it's getting late and you have school tomorrow."

Terra nodded as she got up and kissed her baby faced dad goodnight.

Terra went up to her room and laid on her bed thinking about everything. Thoughts kept swirling through her mind as she continued asking questions to herself about how she was going to deal with it all. Eventually Terra got tired of aking the what if or what nots and decided to let go and just focus on herself. It didn't matter if she was from some clan and that danger lurked around every corner, all she had to do was become stronger than those clans and she'd be fine.

Terra smiled at the thought and slowly drifted off into the most peacefull meditation she ever had. Unknown to Terra as she was lost in her meditation, her whole body erupted in flames. Half of the flames were a blue watery flame that covered her back and the other half was more like green lightning that climbed around the blue flames.

The flames slowly intergrated itself into Terra's body until finally the flames perfectly fused with Terra's body.

And in a flash the room was dark again remaining the same as if nothing ever happened. The only things that were different was that Terra could use her dying will flames withought rings or any other outside means and she could activate them anytime similair to the arcobaleno, and there was a weird purple egg sitting on Terra's lap.

Chapter 6 End.

[Authors note]

Sorry for the info dump I just want to set up the backround for the arc i'm planning for after the future arc. I never really felt satisfied with the ending we were given so I felt like this would be a good setting for an arc after the future arc.

Also name translations.

Seiiki = Sanctuary

Tsuki = Moon

Hiroto = Fly far

Hakaku = White swan

Fujin = Wind god (Shinto)

Also if you liked how Terra's mom was named after the Moon while Terra was named after the Earth thumbs up to you.
