Seashells of the Sky
Summary: "Wait, what Family became the Black Spell of Millefiore?" Tsuna asked. Lambo sighed, eyes shadowed, "The Vongola Family." AU
Chapter One: Of the Sky's Cloudy Discovery
It's been a year since the incident, and he hadn't heard from any of the other Guardians since.
The Head of the Giglio Nero Family, Uni, had graciously accepted him and Chrome into her care. Initially, Lambo thought that she, too, was under the influence of Byakuran, but he found that Uni subtlety despised the white-haired man.
During the year, Chrome went off for numerous missions to try and help Mukuro and to find Ken and Chikusa. Five months ago, she had left, and hadn't contacted him since. He didn't know if she was alright, but he trusted that she knew what she was doing. That didn't erase his ever-growing worries, though.
Now he sat on his bed, in the room he'd been occupying since he arrived. Uni had demanded to talk to him after his foul mood for the past couple of days.
"What's the matter?" Uni asked gently, smiling that smile that looked so much like Tsuna's.
Lambo sighed in frustration, "I had a dream… I know it sounds crazy, but Boss what talking to me."
Uni cocked her head to the side in confusion, "No, I believe you; what did he say?"
"Well…." Lambo frowned, "He said…. To go to the school he went to when he was fourteen in Namimori."
Uni's eyes widened, "What? Why?"
"Because… there are people waiting for me there." Lambo replied, and shook his head. What kind of plan has Boss got this time…?
Uni stared contemplatively at him for a moment before nodding determinedly.
"Okay, it's decided, then."
Lambo gazed at her in surprise, "What is?"
Uni's smile widened, "We will go over there and check it out!"
The Thunder Guardian gaped at her before protesting, "B-but it was a dream! We can't just believe that -!"
She shook her head, "No, Lambo. I trust you, and I trust that the Vongola Decimo has a plan. I will follow through with what he's said."
"I… thank you." Lambo smiled back.
"Besides," Uni continued quietly, and six Pacifiers appeared around her neck; Lambo gasped. He'd had suspicions on her status as an Arcobaleno, and ever since he'd came here, they'd been hiding that fact from him and Chrome – and Lambo honestly couldn't blame them. But the fact that Uni was showing this to him now…
The Pacifiers glowed brightly.
"I want to see Uncle Reborn."
As soon as Uni's Family and Lambo had gotten to Namimori, Lambo led them to the Vongola Base Tsuna had built. Normally, no one other than the Vongola Family were allowed inside, but Lambo figured Tsuna wouldn't have minded.
During the next week, Lambo regularly approached Namimori Middle school. Behind him, Gamma always trailed along solemnly. Uni had insisted that he came along for Lambo protection, in which they both protested. However, after Uni made a teary scene, Gamma reluctantly tagged along. On every car ride to the school, Gamma had looked like he was getting more depressed by the second. Lambo figured it was because of the growing distance between him and Uni.
Right now, the school seemed deserted. At least, that was what it looked like to Lambo as he sauntered up to the building.
This is the seventh time we've been here to check things out, Lambo thought, slightly annoyed, was my dream really real?
Once again, there was no sign of life coming from it.
Well, at least until he heard the sudden banging and shouting.
That's a first…, he thought, before swallowing his shock.
Heart racing with anticipation, he broke into a run, Gamma following close behind with a gun in his hand.
Inside the building, he darted down long corridors, hoping he was heading in the right direction. There were echoes of shouting and frantic voices. Lambo's heart jolted at the – dare he think it – familiar sounds.
He arrived at an open door to a classroom, and, immediately, his jaw dropped as he skidded to a stop in the doorway.
What the heck…?
Lambo noticed three of them tangled together on the ground.
"Damn it! Get off me you baseball freak!"
"Aw, come on, Gokudera! It was an accident!"
"GET OFF ME TO THE EXTREME!"
"That's not…" Gamma started, struggling to reign in his voice and keep it impassive.
At the foreign voice, the people inside the room suddenly froze in their antics and turned around. Once they all recognised Lambo, their jaws went slack, sans a certain skylark, whose eyes only widened imperceptibly .
"A-Adult Lambo?" Tsuna, who had been leaning over the three figures on the ground trying to help, shrieked in surprise.
"Young Vongola…" Lambo blinked in shock, feeling his eyes going misty. "All of you…"
"Uwaaaahhh! Not right, not right!" A small voice cried out.
Lambo's eyes focused on … his younger self? The infant's head was poking out from underneath Gokudera's sprawled form. The silver-haired teen immediately slapped away Yamamoto's and Ryouhei's legs and leapt up, cursing.
Lambo honestly couldn't comprehend the situation.
"Ah, it's stupid Lambo." Said a voice. Hopping on top of Tsuna's head was –
"Reborn?" Lambo gaped, "But you're…"
"Lambo-kun," Gamma interrupted calmly, his features once again under his control, "Maybe we should get them back to the base."
"Stupid cow?" Gokudera had finally stopped cursing along with processing the situation. He frowned in confusion, "What happened? Where are we?"
Lambo opened his mouth to retort, but then froze. What was this sudden ominous feeling…?
He glanced down at his hand and cursed: his Vongola Thunder Ring was glowing.
"What's happening, Lambo-kun?" Tsuna asked, realising the expression that indicated danger passing over his face. He already has his 27 mittens on his hands.
Lambo shook his head in reply, "I'll tell you all later. For now, we should get out of here."
"No, you'll tell us now." Reborn suddenly had a gun pointed at his head.
"Lambo -!" Gamma began to move, but the fifteen-year-old shook his head.
"W-wait, Reborn!" Tsuna stammered, "Th-that's Adult Lambo!"
"And how do we know?" Reborn asked coldly, and cocked his gun. Lambo felt a cold bead of sweat trickle down his back and he gulped nervously.
"That baby down there is Lambo, and this person here is Lambo," Reborn said calmly, "or so he says."
Lambo sighed in frustration, "F-fine! Obviously, you've all been hit by the Ten Year Bazooka. However, it didn't switch us for some reason…"
He frowned, then suddenly asked, " What was the date that you all left from?"
Tsuna told him the date, confused, and Lambo's eyes widened, "But that's… not ten years!"
"What?" Reborn asked sharply, "What do you mean?"
"Today is… half a year before that date." Lambo said, confused. The other stared at him in shock.
He shook his head, and focused back on the matter on hand, "Anyway, we should probably go right now -!"
"Why?" Reborn frowned, "What's coming?"
Lambo swallowed hard, twisting his Ring around his finger in a nervous habit. "You… don't want to know…"
At the back of the group, Hibari frowned, as if he was concerned about the schools 'peace' being disturbed.
"Hey," Tsuna piped up, "Your Ring's… glowing." He frowned in confusion, "Why…?"
"Not now," Lambo began, getting even more stressed, "We should –"
"Is an enemy coming?" Yamamoto guessed.
"I…" Lambo hesitated, unsure of what he should say about that. "I can't…"
"Stop panicking," Commanded a cold voice, "Or I'll bite you to death."
Lambo froze, staring at the suddenly opened window on the other side of the room in terror.
Initially, the others, excluding Gamma, looked behind them at their time's Hibari. However, the younger Hibari had frozen in surprise as well.
This…, Lambo thought faintly, situation is getting so much more screwed up by the second…
Lambo finally regained his composure and acknowledged the man leaning on the window sill.
"…Kyouya."
