Desires of Harmonization
Ch 3 I'm home
Tsuna casually walked down the dirt path, or at least as casually as possible after running fifteen miles and flying another five. It had been a long and eventful day, one that Tsuna would do his best to squash to the back of his mind and never think about ever again. Though it certainly had been a surprise.
In his mind Tsuna was going over a training regimen. The fact that he had been caught unaware so easily was more than a little concerning. Though Tsuna supposed that if that had been whom he thought it was, it may explain why his hyper intuition hadn't acted up. Which made it even more concerning. In truth Tsuna had been trying his best to avoid the people he had known in his own universe. Of course, there where a few exception and sometimes Tsuna found people he couldn't avoid.
Tsuna winced as he thought about a certain annoyance he had already had the misfortune to meet. Whenever he thought about that man, Tsuna had this strong urge to punch something. Taking a deep breath Tsuna calmed himself and started to make his way through some bushes and trees. Fifteen minutes later Tsuna found a small dirt path and followed it. Another half hour later Tsuna could just make out a small white mansion ahead of him.
Tsuna let out a sigh as he saw the mansion…his home. Since his arrival in this universe Tsuna had been staying under the care of Luce and the Giglio Nero Famiglia care. As he got closer to the mansion Tsuna smiled slightly, he really enjoyed being with Luce. Although it would be too embarrassing to admit but Tsuna often saw Luce as a mother like figure. Over the year that he had been in this universe; the mansion, Luce, Aria and even Luce's guardians had started to feel like family. It was a rather bitter sweet thought that made Tsuna pine for his family in his original universe.
Shaking his head to clean his thoughts Tsuna reached the gates of the mansion and pushed them open. Closing them behind himself Tsuna felt the presence of mist flames. Luces mist guardian had made an interesting barrier around the mansion at some point. Whether it was because he was a sky or it was his hyper intuition, Tsuna always felt a chill run down his back when he entered the barrier.
Walking towards the door of the mansion Tsuna watched as the doors where flung open and a small girl with mid length black hair and blue eyes ran outside. The girl flung herself at Tsuna making the sky catch her.
"Why hello there, Aria." Tsuna said as he lifted the young girl up.
"Tsuna tsuna," Aria happily chanted and laughed.
While Tsuna laughed with Aria and swung her around in the air, he noticed Alberto, Luce's sun guardian exit the mansion and watch them with a smile on his face. Of all of Luce guardians Tsuna liked Alberto the best. A kind man that had a kind warmth around him, Tsuna supposed he was sort of a father figure.
Tsuna winced slightly as he thought about his own father but was interrupted from his thoughts as he realized that Aria had asked him something.
"Hmm," Tsuna hummed as he gently put Aria back on the ground. "Sorry I didn't quiet catch that."
"Geez Tsuna you really need to stop spacing out like that," Aria scolded, "I asked if something fun happened?"
"Something fun?" Tsuna questioned as he thought, 'that no, nothing fun had happened. In fact it was quiet the opposite."
"Why do you ask?" Tsuna asked.
Aria smile and stated, "Because Tsuna has that look on his face when something fun has happened!"
Tsuna blinked at Aria statement.
"Oh," Aria suddenly said, "mamma says it's the face that Tsuna wears when he's done something really really stupid."
Tsuna felt as if he had been stabbed through the heart. It wasn't wrong, he had done something stupid but that didn't mean it hurt any less being called out on it.
"Ah, no…" Tsuna guiltily said. "Nothing fun or stupid happened."
Changing the subject Tsuna asked, "and should you be using a word like stupid?"
"Geez Tsuna," Aria said. "I'm already nine years old. I'm a big girl now I can say what I want."
"Is that so?" Tsuna asked, "then I wonder what Luce would think if she heard you saying that?"
Aria looked up at Tsuna with wide worried eyes and said, "its not like mamma needs to know about that…"
"I don't know? I think she would quite like to know that you're now a big girl and you can say anything you want." Tsuna said.
"Noooo," Aria pitifully said.
"But I suppose if you're a good girl and finish your math school work, then maybe Luce wouldn't need to know." Tsuna said.
"How do you know I was working on math?" Aria questioned.
"Intuition," Tsuna stated.
Aria whined a bit and tsuna laughed at the sound.
"I know!" Tsuna suddenly said, "how about if you get a good grade on your next test we go out for gelato."
"Really?" Aria happily asked.
"Sure," Tsuna answered.
"You promise?" Aria asked.
"Of course," Tsuna replied.
"Really really?" Aria asked.
"Really really really," Tsuna answered.
"Yes!" Aria cried out as she spun around to face Alberto, "come on Alberto we need to study. I got to get a good."
"Of course Ms. Aria," Alberto said as he smile at the young girl.
As Aria headed into the house Alberto turned to Tsuna and said, "Ms. Luce wanted to see you."
"…perhaps you should try to school your features," Alberto joked about how easily Aria had been able to read him.
Tsuna dryly chuckled at the comment and watched as Alberto entered the mansion following Aria.
Tsuna huffed and entered the mansion closing the door behind himself.
As Tsuna walked into the mansion he gently pulsed his sky flame. Pulsing his flames was something that Luce had taught him, apparently it is a polite way of letting other flame users know you were home. Tsuna felt several responding flame pulses from Luce and her guardians welcoming him back.
Tsuna turned in the direction that Luce's flames had come from. Coming to a door with a flora pattern around the frame Tsuna knocked on it. From inside Tsuna heard a feminine voice call out, "come in."
Tsuna opened the door and entered the room. Inside the room Tsuna saw Luce sitting at a long table in front of her was a tray of tea and cookies. Tsuna smiled and hoped it wasn't as crooked as it felt. Walking over to Luce, Tsuna took a seat on her right side.
"Tea?" Luce asked as she held up the teapot.
"Oh, yes please," Tsuna answered.
Luce poured some tea into a cup and handed it to Tsuna. Tsuna sipped the drink and watched as Luce took a sip from her own cup.
Putting her cup back down Luce said," help yourself to some cookies."
"Thank you," Tsuna said as he picked up a diamond shaped shortbread cookie and took a bite.
This was how it always was with Luce. She always insisted that these pleasantries took place before getting down to business.
"So how was your day?" Luce suddenly asked.
Tsuna choked a bit on the cookie he was eating and reached for his teacup. Taking a gulp of tea Tsuna watched as Luce refilled his cup and smile pleasantly at Tsuna.
"It was… okay," Tsuna answered.
"Really?" Luce asked.
"Yeah," Tsuna replied.
"You sure?" Luce asked.
"Maybe?" Tsuna unsurely answered.
"It's just that you have this look," Luce said, "as if something …interesting… happened."
Tsuna laughed a bit and said, "no no, nothing like that. Just a normal trip into town for some tea…"
"Is that so…" Luce asked.
"It was actually pretty boring," Tsuna said with a smile. Though Tsuna felt his smile falter as he looked at Luce smiling face.
"Well…I guess… something might have happened," Tsuna finally admitted.
"Oh," Luce said in interest.
"Yeah," Tsuna admitted as he felt his face heat up in a blush, "but I would rather not talk about it."
Luces mouth twitched down into a frown as she asked, "is everything alright… you're not hurt are you?"
"Oh no, of course not." Tsuna reassured Luce, "it's just…it's actually really embarrassing and I'd rather not talk about it…"
"Okay," Luce said
"Really?" Tsuna asked a bit surprised that Luce was letting it go.
"Of course, you seem to be okay." Luce answered, "although you do seem a bit rattled."
"Yeah…" Tsuna agreed with a blush as he thought of the events earlier today.
Clearing his throat Tsuna said, "I heard from Alberto that you wanted to talk to me."
"Yes," Luce answered with a serious expression on her face, "the Giglio Nero famiglia has been asked to attend an alliance meeting."
"Alliance meeting?" Tsuna questioned.
"Yes a rather small one." Luce stated, "I supposed the Vongola will be there along with some other allied families."
"Huh," Tsuna said.
"Its basically a meet and greet to exchange information and size each other up," Luce explained.
"I see," Tsuna said.
It made sense, paranoia ran rampant in the mafia world. Allies would want to meet up to see if they could find any changes or signs of weakness in each other.
"As you must know this puts Giglio in a rather difficult position…" Luce whispered.
Luce didn't need to explain the difficult position that she was in. From what Tsuna had learned about the Giglio Famiglia, it was at one time a moderately sized mafia family. Though that was in the past. After Luce had accepted being an Arcobaleno she had found herself in a difficult position. The sky Arcobaleno was not allowed to interfere with the rest of the world. Because of this Luce started to remove her famiglia from the mafia spotlight. The Giglio became less active and didn't take part in mafia matters. They lost most of their influence, which caused members of the Giglio to become upset. Not long after that Luce famiglia had left. The only ones to remain were her six guardians.
In a way Luce was lucky that her guardians had stay. Tsuna had once been told that when Luce became the sky Arcobaleno that her harmonization with her current guardians had been blocked. It was like it was there but at the same time none of the guardians where able to connect with Luce anymore.
'But her guardians had remained loyal and had stayed,' Tsuna thought, 'unlike…'
Tsuna shook his head to rid himself of unwanted thoughts. When the Arcobaleno curse had been broken the bond between Luce and her guardians had reappeared. But that still meant that the Giglio was currently made up of Luce, her guardians, Aria and Tsuna. Sending Luce to such a small gathering would appear odd. Usually for such gathering a strong representative was chosen to represent the Famiglia.
"You want me to go to the meeting," Tsuna stated.
Luce gave a bitter smile, "yes. I know you've been trying to keep a distance from Vongola…"
Tsuna interrupted, "it's okay, I can do it."
"Are you sure?" Luce asked hopefully.
"I've already ended up having to meet that man," Tsuna said darkly.
"I'm so sorry about that." Luce said, "I was told that it would be someone else."
"Its alright," Tsuna said quickly. "Its just been taking me a while to accept that this isn't my world. Besides I know that it would be dangerous for you to attend."
"But…" Luce tried to argue.
"Besides sending your apprentice would just look like you were letting me get experience," Tsuna stated.
"I still feel weird asking you to do this," Luce admitted.
"Its really okay," Tsuna reassured, "besides I was feeling a bit bored anyway."
Luce smiled weakly and said, "I'll be sending Demarion with you."
Demarion is Luces cloud guardian, a quite man who preferred using his fists instead of his words.
"Are you expecting any trouble?" Tsuna asked.
"Not that I know of," Luce said, "but I have this feeling…"
"Well that's ominous," Tsuna stated as he finished his tea.
"I hope it's just me being paranoid but…" Luce explained as she stood up, "it makes me nervous that I haven't been able to see the alliance meeting."
Tsuna stood up and followed Luce outside the room. He frowned as mulled over the fact that Luce wasn't receiving any visions about the future alliance meeting. It could very well mean nothing but then again it was better safe than sorry.
"I'm heading to the kitchen for some coffee, would you care to join me?" Luce asked.
Tsuna gave a bitter smile at the thought of that disgustingly bitter drink and said, "no thank you."
Tsuna turned to climb the stairs and head to his room. He hoped to get in a nap before dinner. Suddenly Tsuna stopped and turned to Luce.
"Luce!" Tsuna called out.
Luce turned to Tsuna and gave him a questioning look.
With a gentle smile Tsuna said, "I'm home."
Luce blushed and smiled, "Welcome back."
