Chapter 7: Presence
Reader's POV
''It was a fun day.'' Tsuna gave off his usual smile that made (without him actually realising) people blushed–even guys, as he sat down in the horse carriage. Yes they used horse carriage back in the times, not cars. Tsuna felt a little sick in the stomach at the way the carriage totted over humps in the road and shaking in all directions, so he ended up not being in or even hearing much of the conversation just trying to push down the sensation of the vomit building up. He may be the Vongola Boss (Not official of course), but he was also dame-Tsuna.
''We have reached.'' Giotto said as he got off the carriage first with a silent jump, and the other guardians followed on, except Tsuna.
''Tsuna, what are you waiting for?''
''Ehh….'' Tsuna's eye darted left and right and everywhere except Giotto. He looked down at the height difference with the stony ground with a look of horror painted on his face.
''Don't tell me… You are scared of heights?''
''Nufufu~ What a pathetic guy.''
''Well, I'm at least better than you, Daemon Spade.'' Tsuna glared at him, his fear disappearing for a second.
''I say one thing and you just have to rebut with another smart one, don't you, Sawada Tsunayoshi.''
''That just shows his dislike for you, get over it, Daemon.'' G rolled his eyes in a full circle before pushing him roughly into the mansion gates.
''Let's leave Tsunayoshi to Primo.''
''Haha, I agree. Primo would be more than enough, and we have quite the work to settle.''
''Work? Urgh.'' Lampo lamented as his shoulder bones felt like jelly and his face sunk in. ''It reminds me of the homework that I haven't finish.''
''So do I, and I don't give a dam.'' G said in a rather laid-back manner, his hands behind his head and just kicking Daemon along like the violet-haired guy was worth nothing.
''Hey, don't kick me you bastard.'' Daemon stood up with lip pursed in displeasure and sent a kick to G who dodged, to add to his irritancy hidden behind ocean blue eyes.
''Your results are good, but mine aren't.'' Lampo whimpered as he continued to crawl along the route to the mansion alongside Asari.
''Ah… Tsuna hurry up, I still have homework and some paperwork to do as well.'' Giotto extended a delicate hand to Tsuna whose eyes were flicking in turmoil.
''Homework? Just how old are you, Giotto?''
''Mmm… 16.''
''Ehh! You are just a year older than me!'' Tsuna eyes doubled in size.
''Hmm… Both me and G are 16 and just started the Vongola Family for about 1 year, but we did relatively good progress, and it accelerated since the addition of my new trusted friends. Lampo is the same age as you, Daemon is 19, Alaude is 18, both Asari Ugetsu and Knuckle are 20.''
''I thought you look younger than I imagined, having a rounder face, being shorter and slightly larger eyes, but to be 16…''
''Really? But before we talk more, my hands are getting numb.'' Giotto's smile faltered a little as the cold wind hit him violently in the face again, threatening to sweep his blond hair away.
''Oh I'm sorry!'' Tsuna arms waved about in a flustered manner as he turned to see the ground's distance from him yet again.
''Jump into my hands.''
''Eh?''
''Jump into my hands.'' Giotto repeated patiently, wagging his hands up and down, prompting Tsuna to jump.
''…'' Tsuna bit his lips.
''Just jump, trust me, I will catch you.''
''Okay…'' Tsuna hesitated for a moment and squinted his eyes shut with furrowed eyebrows as he jumped into empty air before jumping messily into a pair of warm arms.
''See, didn't I say I will catch you.'' Giotto smiled as he adjusted Tsuna's position into bridal-style to make both of them comfortable.
''Hehe.'' Tsuna smiled from ear to ear, enjoying the warmth he was getting.
o0o Meanwhile, in present day, 1 day before o0o
''Where did Tsuna go?'' Yamamoto, being the fastest runner among the guardians reached the room first, to find a blinding light hit his eyes and he recoiled backwards in pain and banged into Gokudera who was right behind him panting.
''Baseball freak, don't suddenly move backwards!''
''Tsuna!'' Yamamoto eyes opened in surprise and relief when the light faded and he ran into the room.
''Juudaime?!'' Gokudera's eyes shot left and right and found a figure sitting cross-legged on the bed. But it wasn't the brown spiky hair they were so used to, but a blond figure, and he was slightly translucent to add on.
''You are… Vongola Primo aren't you?'' Gokudera almost shouted in shock.
''Vongola Primo!'' Was everybody's reaction when they reached the room, guardians and Reborn alike.
''Decimo's guardians…'' Giotto gave a sweeping look around the room when everyone had arrived. ''And the Sun acrobaleno as well. Seems like you had your curse removed.''
''…'' Reborn didn't replied, his piercing gaze simply transfixed on the blond's poker face.
''Don't worry about Decimo, he had simply travelled back to the past.'' Giotto gave up on making some casual statements and decided to just reply to what is really on everyone's mind now.
''HOW can you expect us not to worry?!'' Gokudera shouted in his usual rude and coarse voice.
''Gokudera.'' Reborn spoke without the least bit of mercy, his gun ready to shoot him. 'Don't speak so rudely to the founder of the Vongola.''
''Reborn. Cheh.'' Gokudera's face held a face of alarm before he cooled down, keeping his bombs back in his clothes again. It was a total mystery where he actually kept all those dynamites, and where they came from.
''Mmm… How to say, he is currently in my time… I'm only borrowing a little of Tsuna's flames to explain the situation to you and then when his flame runs out, I will be back to the ring again.'' Giotto held up the ring with translucent hands, which looked duller compared to when it had been on its owner's finger.
''Why is his ring here?'' Reborn asked, his voice growing a little impatient.
''The time slot he travelled back to, the Vongola Rings had not yet exist, so by the law of space and time, the ring wasn't transported back. Since the Vongola Ring isn't just some simple lump of metal. It's one of the rare items with miraculous power over time as well.'' Giotto continued in his calm voice, fingering the ring a little as he stared at it like a child with a new toy.
''So, why did you transport Juudaime back to the past?''
''Ah… It seems like I'm running out of time.'' Giotto mumbled yet again in another of his calm voice, as though it didn't really matter that his body was growing more and more transparent as seconds pass by.
''Well, the last thing I can say is, he is helping the Vongola Family.'' Giotto's voice echoed as the blond figure disappeared into thin air like smoke. The ring that had fallen to rest on the bed glowed with a soft orange and the ring somehow got back some of its original shine.
''H-Hey!'' Gokudera rushed forward and grabbed the volume of air that was in contact with Giotto just seconds before just to hug himself back.
''Now what do we do? Tsuna is missing, or more like back to the past.'' Yamamoto scratched his head, unsure of how to react.
''We just have to wait and see. Since it is definitely Vongola Primo's will that was talking just now, we can believe him.'' Reborn's depthless orbs stared right into every of the young Decimo's guardians who had mixed reactions on whatever had just happened.
Ryohei had a blank face, Lambo still had not a single clue about anything, Hibari and Mukuro barely give a dam, Yamamoto and Gokudera obviously were worried sick.
o0o Back to Tsuna's time slot o0o
Reader's POV
''So you are basically asking me to go to school?'' Tsuna cried. He definitely wasn't one to love school, and he was more than happy to be able to skip school for the whole year, or even the whole of his supposed school years. Reborn had punished him for that with his metal hammer of justice, conveniently saying that the Vongola Boss needed at least basic education. That sadistic home tutor.
''Yeah… I don't feel safe leaving you alone at the mansion, since my friends and I are all going to school. We are travelling back to Japan's base since I liked that place. Seems like I got my mum's influence for her love of Japanese culture huh.'' At that, Giotto's lip twitched. ''We came back to Italy to settle some stuff with some other family matters only after all.''
''So when are we going back…?''
''Now.'' Giotto said nonchalantly as he sort through the monsterful pile of paper waiting for him on his ebony table. They were in his office, by the way.
''NOW?!''
''Yeah, now.''
''Bu-''
''Do you even have any belongings you need to pack?'' Giotto's eyebrows perked in amusement as his eyes were finally tore away from the paperwork he was sorting to look at Tsuna.
''No…'' Tsuna looked down. That means they will be taking a night flight eh. No, I mean night ride, and how on earth are they going to travel all the way to Japan?!
''Boat, walking, horses, camels.'' Giotto listed as he continued to work on his paperwork, his lips contorted into somewhat of a frown as he continued to sign papers after papers.
''Hiii… How long would it take?''
''A few days at the very least.''
''A few days spent on horses…'' Tsuna whimpered as his body grow soft and crashed to the ground.
''Tsuna?!'' Giotto kicked his chair backwards and hurried to tend to the fainted figure on the floor who had his poor soul lingering out of his mouth.
''Really, this child…'' Giotto closed his eyes into two curved lines; he couldn't help but smile at the brunette in front of him.
''Primo, preparation is ready.'' G almost kicked the door into sheds as he entered the door with a whole load of papers in his hands, a scowl on his face.
''G… Don't tell me…''
''Yeah Primo… You have to finish all this within an hour before we leave.''
And Giotto fainted right beside Tsuna.
o0o
''Give me a plastic bag…'' Tsuna whimpered piteously as he lay on the chair in the carriage, his hands stretching out into air as his fingers desperately tried to grab anything -though there was only air- that can helped him contain the sensation building up in his stomach and throat.
''Plastic bag? What's that?'' Giotto asked curiously as he stared at the being occupying the entire chair by himself with a small towel on top of his forehead.
''Ah… Nevermind.'' Tsuna's voice shrinked as he retracted his hands to lay them back on his eyes.
''Alaude, can't you do something about this?''
''Well, yes. I need some medical ingredients. But they aren't found anywhere near here.''
''I see.''
''Primo.'' G suddenly said, his eyes narrowed as he stretched his hand out in front of Primo's chest.
''I know, G. It's only a small number, I'm sure Alaude can settle them by th-''
An arrow whizzed past Giotto's hair, cutting some of the blond hair along with it as Giotto dodged at the very last second and barely did Lampo registered the arrow when it zoomed right straight through Giotto, to get stuck into the wooden side of his carriage still shaking slightly from the impact, in front of his eyes. If Lampo had leaned forward, god knows what would have happened.
''Gaahhhhh!'' A scream that came a second too late.
''That Alaude…'' Giotto whispered under his breath as he continued to read a small leather-backed book calmly while ignoring Lampo's childish protests floating around the still night air.
''It's finshed.'' Came Alaude's voice from the other carriage. Alaude had a carriage all to himself, Tsuna, Giotto and G shared one (Due to Tsuna taking up the entire chair by himself) and the other guardians to one.
''Alaude, I'm sure that arrow wasn't on purpose isn't it?''
''Who knows? The enemy is strong.''
''Certainly a strong enemy seemed to use arrows as his weapon, don't they?''
''I couldn't agree any lesser.''
Giotto hands skim through his golden hair that sparkled in the dim moonlight and continued to read his book with some flame burning from his fists as a source of light. Certainly the dying will flame is useful, especially in the dark if you would like to read some books…
''Alaude is the type that holds a grudge for as long as he still have his last breath.'' Giotto sighed.
''You got yourself into this sticky situation, all because you spill the dam cake on his favourite trench jacket.''
''That was Tsuna though.'' Giotto looked away and stared at the moon that lit up his brilliant eyes with a different sparkle. It seemed almost… lonely.
''You are still partially at fault, didn't you had your oh-so-godly speed?''
''I thought it had be interesting to see Alaude get all worked up because of a shy little guy like him.'' Giotto bashfully admitted as he stood up slightly and crouched down next to Tsuna who had fallen into a deep slumber.
''He's really cute.'' Giotto mumbled as he unconsciously slid a slender hand through caramel hair.
''As I said before, stop hitting on him. And for god sake, he's your half-brother.''
''I know.'' Giotto's voice was monotone and his expression was unreadable.
G's eyebrows shot upwards in surprise. The Primo he knows would normally snapped back, saying something along the lines that he wasn't a paedophile, but what happened today?
''G, what is this bittersweet feeling in my heart?'' Giotto turned around with a slightly pained expression, his hands still stroking through the soft and silky brown hair.
''Giotto… Don't tell me… You have fallen for him?''
oOo
Grisia, Haha no problem at all :) I'm just really lazy. And Reborn definitely would sell those photos to Mukuro and Hibari haha. And as to Tsuna being Giotto's descendant, I didn't really think that far. I was like, things will work out somehow. Ehehehe…
Ilover145, hahaha thanks a lot! I really liked it myself as well :) Hope you enjoyed it.
Angelic Fluffle, oh no I feel the pressure now…
Pure Red Crane, Yeah! And that will be explained better in later chapters. Stay tuned to find out :D
Franzis-chan, thanks a lot :) Glad it made you laugh. I do pitied Tsuna, but I just can't resist but add a chapter where he was forced into a dress.
I'm sorry if the last part came too suddenly. If it doesn't fit in, I will change it.
For now, goodbye!
