Chapter 5: Exposures

Ven was sitting on a tree trunk watching the Vongola guardians training and thinking what Tsuna had told her few weeks ago.

''We are a mafia family.'' Tsuna repeated to Vens shocked face
''So you are criminals?'' Ven asked quiet shocked
''Yes and no...'' Tsuna answered the question
''What do you mean with no?'' Ven asked aked again now more serious
''Well our aim is not to kill and not to do black market like selling drugs or something like that but to protect and help people.'' Tsuna explained
''That doesn't sound like a mafia...'' Ven answered
''True but it is the original goal of this family.'' Tsuna told Ven
''What if I want to be part of it?'' Ven asked out of blue
''Well you don't have any memory and don't know if you have any family... You can be part of ours if you like...'' Tsuna made an offer
''More than willing! But doesn't that mean that I have to learn fighting?'' Ven asked
''It wouldn't hurt but...'' Tsuan wonders
''I think that Ven should learn the basics of fighting in our world... There on she shall decide herself if she wants to learn more.'' Reborn made the decision
''Fine.'' Tsuan agrees

Now Ven was consentrating like it would save her life or something to make her resolve to flames. For now she had been doing this little bit over a week after Reborn had thought her the basics. Ven had broken already three rings: sun ring, rain ring and storm ring thinking that none of them fitted her she wanted to try other ones. Now she was trying to form flames from lighting ring. She tried and tried until it started to crack and shatter and finally broke into millions of pieces.
''Hey Reborn!'' Ven shouted
''What's wrong Ven?'' Reborn asked while trying to shoot Yamamoto
''Could I get the cloud ring?'' Ven asked stroking her hair
''You broke that one already?'' Reborn stared her
''Y-Yeah... Anyways...'' Ven faltered
''Sheesh... Here take them all!'' Reborn threw a wooden box to Ven
''Thanks...'' Ven muttered putting a ring with purple rock into her finger concentrating again seriously to make some flames

This continued another week or two until she broke the last ring: sky ring
''How can you break the all?'' Reborn asked
''I don't know...'' Ven answered for 158th time (she did keep count)
''Then do you have any idea what your flame is?'' Reborn asked (finally) something new
''Well... I think that I had some kind of ring when I arrived here...'' Ven explains
''But you didn't have any ring on you when I found you.'' Tsuna steps in
''I am shure that I had a ring. It must have dropped somwhere into the forest.'' Ven calculates
''Do you have any idea what it looks alike?'' Reborn asks
''I only now that it is black and has been decorated.'' Ven refers to a flasback she had earlier seein the rings for first time seeing herself in a almost pitch black room watching her hand with the ring on the floor and hearing a voice ''Is that all you can do.'' ending the flashback
''Alright then. We shall scatter to search Vens ring tomorrow. Now go get some sleep.'' Reborn commands

Next morning guardians exept Lambo, Mukuro and Hibari gathers infront of the shrine and after Ven had pointed the way where she had came to the place where Tsuna had found her everybody ran off to woods.
''Are you shure that the ring is flame emiting ring?'' Reborn asked Ven after he had watched others to search for a while
''Pretty shure. In my flashback I saw somkind of flame in the ring but I couldn't really see what colour it was.'' Ven explains
''Well we have to see if we find it. The woods are pretty large.'' Tsuna reminded
''Right but I know that I was walking exactly straight line exept maybe rounding some trees.'' Ven told
''Then we search around the path. It is possible that someone have found it already and thought 'finders keepers' right?'' Tsuna suggests
''Then I will find that person and beat the crap out of it!'' Ven shouted in everybodys surprise giving her eyes a flash of red. Anger had triggered them (eyes) again (A/N Bermuda had kind of sealed them off... sorry that I missed to write about that.). They had thought her to be peaceful but this was new.
''Wow! You're kind of scary Ven.'' Yamamoto said with smile
''Wha... What did I just say?'' Ven ask in confusion apparently not knowing what she had sayed
''Well you said 'I'm gonna beat the crap out of the guy who took my ring' or something like that.'' Reborn told
''Really!'' Ven was confused
''Really... But now let's find it.'' Reborn made everybody continue

Meanwhile in the centre shopping district of Namimori Hibari was walking around doing some grocery shopping (A/N Couldn't resist this... It made me laugh! I mean the next bit). He had already picked two brown bags and if somebody would peek in his shopping bags they would see all the groceries: Some Ice cream, flour, eggs, beef ,stuffed animals... (A/N Bwahaha! Stuffed animals... *Wiping off tears of laughter*) It was clear that Hibari had soft spot to all cute, curly and soft. When he was walking towards a stuffed animal shop to buy some more he heard a whisper from an alley right next to him:
''Would you fine young sir buy some jewelerry?'' Mysterious man asked. Hibari would have just ignored him but he spotted a black ring with ornaments and black beautiful shard with something red in middle of it. No doubt it was something that Reborn had told that the girls ring looked alike. So Hibari dropped the grocery bags and took his tonfas out of his jacket and then moved towards the mysterious man. Taking the ring and putting the tonfa on mans throath pushing him towards the wall Hibari raised his hand and showed the ring to him:
''Where did you get this?'' Hibari asked
''I-I bought i-it...'' Man coughed
''Don't lie to me.'' Hibari commented back really coldly
''F-Fine I-I found it in the forest near Namimori shrine! Happy?'' Man told
''Good.'' Hibari said knocking out the man and putting the ring onto his pocket he would give it to Reborn this evening.

''Man It was bad. We couldn't find it in the end...'' Yamamoto whined
''Why would 10th even make us do this?'' Gokudera complains
''Because Ven is part of our family now and she is my friend'' Tsuna hissed back and threw a meanish look to Gokudera that made him understand that he had said something wrong
''I am terribly sorry to have you go through all this trouble.'' Ven said bowing her had so near to the ground that she had almost bent twice.
''D-Don't worry about it...'' Tsuna said blushing
''Well we'll go searching again tomorrow.'' Reborn told making all of them argue
''Reborn we went through the forest inch by inch and didn't find anything!'' Gokudera complained like that was all he could do
''That is even more the reason! You can't see anything.'' Reborn shouted giving a kick to Tsuna
''What was that for?'' Tsuna caughed bending down but suddenly ran to front door as he heard a knock to open the door with nobody behind it and just as he was about to close the door Reborn snatched a envelope from infront of the door.
''You couldn't even notice this.'' Reborn swinged the envelope in front of Tsuna ''But don't worry it's for me.'' Reborn said after checking the envelope and giving another kick this time to Tsunas knee
'Here is the girls ring. Don't ask me where I found it and don't tell anyone that I found it. Hibari
P.S Hope this will keep you happy enough to also not tell others that I like stuffed animals...'

Handing the ring to Ven after inspecting it carefully Reborn ask Ven to try make some flames while other chat
''Who sent that letter?'' Tsuna asked
''Someone anynomyuos.'' reborn lied smirking
''Fine. Wonder what that rings flame attribute is?'' Tsuna wonders
''I have a theory... But we'll see. But if it is true. She will be a good add to our family.'' Reborn muses mysteriously

Ven tried and tried for next few weeks. Always when she came home from school and did her homework she would put the ring on and concentrate her best. After some time she felt like it was impossible... Until she saw a small flicker of dark flames. That made her try even more.

A/N: Something shorter this time... Haven't uploaded for a while because I just have not had the motivation and time. It's such chaos in my life now... Hope you understand. But don't worry! I am still going to upload these to my last breath unless it gets finished. I am also thinking ideas for new stories but I have not even got a single idea. Hope you enjoyed. Review never hurts does it? And they are always welcome. See ya later!
