Chapter 2 -The Announcement
Taddeo or Teo woke up to the sound of his alarm clock; it appeared to be a metal Frankenstein figurine with a mad scientist that probably created the said monster. The mad scientist was being carried by the Frankenstein monster, and was on his shoulders. The face of the clock was on the mad scientist, while the open mouth of the Frankenstein was where the speaker was. Currently, the scientist was making sounds of someone being strangled or in extreme pain. The alarm clock itself was a gift from his childhood friend and right hand man, Gokudera Hayato.
He got up; stretched a bit before reaching for the alarm clock situated near his bed. He pressed the bolt sticking out of Frankenstein's neck and the disturbing noises stopped… He gave another yawn as he got out of the bed. He gave a glance at the clock and read that it was: "6:30 am";it was still early but for him it was already time to get up, Reborn would kill him if he came down later than six o' three.
He decided to fix his bed, to the best of his abilities… (Reborn will kill him if his room is a mess.) When he finished he got a fixed bed, not incredibly neat but it was good enough and decent looking. After he was done with his chore, he began to change into his uniform. All in all, it only took him a minute to change. (Reborn trained him to change fast or else he would get a bullet in his head.) When he was finished he gave another glance at the clock, it read: "6:32 am".
Teo went out of his room, went down the stairs and into the dining room where he sat down on his usual seat next to Reborn, who was already there.
"Morning, Reborn." He said to the infant hitman, who was looking at his Leon watch.
"Teo, you made it just in time." Reborn told him, still looking at the Leon watch but he sounded a bit disappointed. Teo decided not to comment and just sat there in silence with the hitman, while waiting for breakfast. After ten minutes, he heard footsteps coming into the dining area.
"Ah! Good morning, Teo-kun, Reborn." A cheery voice greeted.
"Good morning, mom." Teo greeted to the cheery voice with a bit of cheer in his voice.
"Good morning, mamman." Reborn greeted.
Two figures came in the dining room from the kitchen, one was a woman and one was a girl. Both females had two plates in their hands. The females placed the plates on the eating table. When they were done placing the plates on the table they sat down on their seats. There were only the four of them Bianchi, Ipin, Fuuta and Lambo were in Italy or were in China for a mission or for training. The girl greeted them both. "Good morning Reborn, Teo-onnichan."
"Good morning Tia." Reborn replied.
"Good morning Tia." Teo replied then after a couple of seconds he turned to face her. "Why did you address Reborn first, Tia I'm hurt." He said with mock hurt in his voice.
"Reborn tutored me on greetings, we should always greet the head of the family first" She answered him in a cheerful tone. Reborn smirked at her answer. Teo, on the other hand did not really expect her to answer. He was just joking, but now her answer confused him.
"Tia, Reborn is not the head of this family. The head of this family is dad, and if dad is not here the head is mom or me not Reborn." He told her, before looking at Reborn with a semi- wary look that said:"What did you say to give the impression that you were the head of the family to my sister?"
This caused Reborn to smirk even more. It was rare for his student to show passion or too much emotion if there were no important matters being involved.
They then began eating their breakfast of toast and bacon and milk, the meal went without a hitch. There were no food or weird things flying over the table and they ate in silence more or less, they had some small talk but they didn't have make the same amount of noise as the rambunctious children did. But it was a change from the usual mealtime war because of one of their younger family members. The family all ate leisurely but it was Teo who finished first. He got his used plate, chopsticks and glass then placed them in the sink in the kitchen; he then washed his hands and went back to see the others were still eating. He then sat down on the couch in the living room that was in the same room. He got the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the television.
He was watching the news when Reborn asked, "Teo, you did your homework right?"
Teo turned his head to face Reborn. "Ah, my homework is all done. If it wasn't you would have shot me in the head wouldn't you…" He responded, though the last part was stated more as a fact than a question. Reborn merely shrugged but Teo had no doubt that what he said was true.
Teo looked at what the time was from the television screen and saw it was already:"7:14 am". He then told Tia she should hurry or she won't make it to school in time. Tia picked up her pace and hurried to finish her last piece of toast. Reborn finished the last sip of his coffee before telling Tia to slow down or she'll choke.
Tia slowed a bit. Teo just sighed at his sister's actions. She should really learn to eat faster or she might really choke on one of her eating rush. The doorbell rang at exactly the same time Tia finished her breakfast. "She made it just in time…" Teo mused to himself, as he stood up and he went to the door. He opened the door to see his friends outside.
"Good morning Teo!" His storm guardian and childhood friend Hayato greeted him energetically.
"Yo, Teo!" His rain guardian and friend, Takeshi greeted him.
Teo gave a small smile and greeted them. "Good morning, Hayato, Takeshi."
"Wait, I'll just get my bag." He told them before going back inside, going up the stairs then going in his room. He got his bag from on top of his desk and went out of his room, down the stairs again and was about to go out of the house but before joining his friends he called out to Tia. "Hurry up, Tia! Or I'm going to leave without you…"
She was on her way out of the dining room and was heading to the stairs when she heard him call out to her; but it was as ifthose words were a trigger to cause a reaction from her, because she dashed up the stairs and to her room to get her bag and she dashed down to where her brother was in an time which would bring her his record time to shame. "If she ate almost a third as fast as her dash, then she wouldn't need to dash in the first place…" Teo mused.
The two of them walked towards the door and they reached it they both said. "We'll be going, mom." Their mother smiled and replied while she waved. "Take care, you two."
"We will!" they both said in unison before they left the house and when the door clicked shut, she sighed and said "They grow up so fast, it was like it was just yesterday they got here… "
"Ah." Reborn replied.
She then continued "Now look at them, they are all grown up. Teo-kun's in middle school and Tia-chan is already ten. "As she spoke, her voice was wistful.
"You might not be their real mother, but you raised them." The infant told her.
"That's right, Reborn. I raised them, and to me they are my two adorable children." She told him with a smile. But her demeanor suddenly became sad.
"What's wrong, maman?" He asked her.
"It's nothing It's just I thought that it would be nice if the whole family was complete." She tried to answer without letting her loneliness show; but it didn't seem possible to do, at least not completely.
"Don't worry I'm sure the whole family will be together again; Iemitsu has been working on making it happen. It won't be long now…" Reborn said, trying to reassure her.
Nana nodded, before uttering a small whisper.
"I hope they come back home soon."
Teo and his sister were walking with friends to school, like any other day. The group talked about many things like summer break, the new café and the finals next week. When they reached the intersection, the middle school students accompanied Tia to the gate of her school. Once they saw her safely to her school, they continued their walk to Namimori middle school. They picked up the conversation from where they left off on the way and at that moment, Teo had thought that today going to be one of those rare normal days. There were enough signs that today was going to be a normal day…
Hayato and Takeshi were arguing… (Mostly Hayato)
The birds were chirping… (No poison cooking fumes making them fall from the sky.)
The dogs were barking… (It wasn't a poodle, fortunately enough for Teo.)
Yup, so far it was nothing but normal.
The boys continued to walk until they reached their school. They were about to enter when they felt an intense amount of killing intent directed at them. Takeshi and Hayato immediately went into a fighting stance as Teo began scanning the area for the source of the killing intent."
"Vongola the tenth…" A raspy voice called out.
The three boys looked to their right to the source of the voice and killing intent to see a man standing on a big red mailbox. He was wearing a turban of loose bandages covering from his head to his neck. But the areas around the man's eyes and mouth were not covered with bandages; so they could see him staring right at them. He was wearing vest over a loose cotton shirt that covered his arms with loose cotton pants. He was also wearing sandals over bandaged feet. The other noticeable things about him were his hands were also covered with bandages and the sash on his waist. The man's sash really got their attention because they could clearly see that on his left side, sticking out of the sash was a hilt of a weapon. They could not see more than the hilt because the weapon was fully covered by the sash, but that fact did not give them any comfort.
Though what made them most wary towards him was not the fact that he was the one exuding a great amount of killing intent at them, nor was it his weapon it was his eyes. The look in them was of a predator about to kill on his prey. The sickly yellow color of his eyes wasn't pleasant to look at either. Add in his raspy voice, the man was definitely more than unnerving.
The teens simply stared at him unmoving, but ready if he tries to do something.
The man just looked back at them, as if he was thinking of all the possible scenarios that could happen.
They were in a stalemate.
Then, all of a sudden the bandaged man stopped giving off killing intent and broke the stalemate. "Vongola the tenth…" He began, "It would seem the acrobaleno trained you and your guardians well, to be able to sense my killing intent. Most people would have only felt that amount as nothing more than a chill down their spine." He added his eyes never leaving them.
"Who are you? I don't know who you are or who sent you but I won't let you kill boss." Hayato said, glaring at the bandaged man.
The bandaged man only gave a laugh. But even his laugh sounded empty. His eyes, though did show his amusement over Hayato's words.
"What's so funny you bandage-freak" Hayato demanded.
"I'm a Vongola…" The bandaged man told them, the amusement in his eyes never leaving. But his words did cause the three teens to relax, but just a bit. The bandaged man having noticed this gave them an half eye smile before giving off more empty sounding laughter…
"Why are you here?" Teo asked, trying to take control of the situation.
"I was sent here to deliver a letter and a message."
"A letter and a message, who were they from?" Teo asked in a serious tone.
"The letter is from the ninth boss, it's for you and your guardians. All of you are being summoned by the ninth boss to train in Italy this summer." He told them in a serious voice, and his eyes had an unreadable expression in them.
"You can read the letter yourself to know the truth." He told them when he saw the shock on their faces as he brought out an envelope from the inside of his vest.
"As for the message…" He began.
The man's words snapped the teens out of their stupor, as they once again fixed their gazes on him but this time with less hostility.
"Can I ask you for a favor then? I don't want to have to look for him." The bandaged man said lazily before sighing and sitting down in an Indian sit, on top of the mailbox. This slightly shocked the three teens, and made them wonder if he had a split personality disorder. "Vongola the tenth, would you pass this message on to Reborn for me? Anyways, it also concerns you and your guardians."
Teo had half of his mind telling him that it was a trap, that there was no way Vongola would send a hitman with a personality and/or a mental disorder. The other half of his mind though, which was his intuition was telling him to be careful of the man. That the man was much more than he let on. But his friends had different reactions to the man; one gave a laugh at the man's interesting personality while the other mumbled about Vongola sending an idiot. The previous tension that had been between the teens and the man was no longer there.
"Those who trespassers in Namimori, and those who cut class will be bitten to death." A familiar voice said, breaking the semi-silence in the area.
They all looked at the new person and they saw who it was- Hibari Kyoya. Hibari was currently glaring the hitman on the mailbox.
Teo looked at his cloud guardian and realized that they had probably been there for a long time already. Class must have already started; they were dead, Teo knew it. Teo was going to explain who the man was but Hibari decided to take action before Teo could even say a word. He brought out his tonfas and charged at the hitman on the mailbox. But the man only smirked, while his eyes gained a maniacal gleam in them.
Hibari raised his tonfa and went for the kill. Hibari striked at the man, and the hit clearly connected with him. The three other teens saw the man lose his balance on the mailbox, and begin to fall off. But there was something wrong; Teo couldn't pinpoint what was wrong but he knew better than to shake off his intuition. He watched as the man hit the wall behind the mailbox. The impact caused the wall to crack and break slightly as dust flew everywhere covering the man's form.
Hibari then turned back to look at the three. "You three, are going to be nex-"
Hibari was not able to say more because he was suddenly cut off by maniacal laughter. He looked back to see that the mailbox was now slightly dented due to his attack, he also saw the slightly destroyed wall but the hitman was nowhere to be seen.
Hibari scanned the area but he couldn't see the hitman anywhere, it was as if he vanished into thin air. But the laughter continued on, slightly aggravating the prefect.
"Vongola the tenth, such an interesting cloud guardian you have. He is definitely as interesting as the rumors say." They still couldn't find where he was, but his voice echoed throughout the street.
" Vongola the tenth, don't forget to pass on this message… 'Vongola is finally making its move.' "
"What do you mean by that? Who is the message from, anyways?" Teo asked, even if he could not see the man.
"I can't say. I'm only a messenger, for now at least. But as for the sender of the message, just tell Reborn that it's from his first student. He will understand." He answered, with his tone filled with unmasked mirth.
Then all of a sudden a small white envelope, slightly dusty and crumpled fell to the ground near Teo.
Instantly the teens all felt it, the man was gone. Before they at least knew that the man was there but they just couldn't see him. But now they couldn't even sense the man's presence anywhere.
Teo sighed as he picked up the letter, he could only wonder what he was trying to say to them.
