Chapter 16: The Earth, the Rain, and the Sun

December passed by, and so did a break full of grueling training. School had started again, and they had new class assignments. Tsuna sat in the courtyard with Ty as he finished a homework problem. "E-Excuse me..."

Tsuna looked up at a red-headed boy. "I was told to come find you...I'm new here, they said you could show me around the school."

Tsuna smiled. "Of course...do you wanna come Ty?"

"Nah, I have to finish this...I might catch up though," he said as he waved off with his pencil. Tsuna stood up and stretched. "Good luck."

The red-headed kid seemed to panic at this. "Don't worry, he's just kidding."

"Oh..."

He walked him through the empty school hallway. "Where did you move from?"

"It was a very small place..."

"Oh. Well, I'm Tsunayoshi Sawada..."

"I'm Enma."

"Nice to meet you, Enma-kun...You can call me Tsuna."

"A-alright, Tsuna..."

Enma had a bandage over his nose. "What's your classroom assignment?"

"2B..."

"You're with me! You're just going to have to follow me for a while until you get used to the routine."

"Tsunayoshi!" Hibari ran up from behind. "He found you, good..."

"Good morning, Hibari-san." He bowed.

"He had the same classroom assignment, so I thought I'd let you help him."

"Mhm..."

Enma looked at Hibari. "You said he was the one..."

Hibari nodded. "Tsunayoshi, Enma is your Guardian of Earth."

Tsuna looked at him wide eyed. "Really? You're a Guardian!"

He nodded, sheepishly. "They're starting to gravitate toward you, Tsunayoshi...your power is getting stronger, and as a result, the need to protect you is increasing."

"Who else is there?"

"Well..."

Voices came from down the hall."Yo, Hibari!"

"Hibari! What are we EXTREMELY here for?"

He sighed. "Tsunayoshi, meet your Guardians of Rain and Sun. Second Year: Takeshi Yamamoto, and Third Year: Ryohei Sasagawa."

~It makes sense! They're both well trained!~ "Hello..."

"You're EXTREMELY our boss!"

"I would have never known, Tsuna!"

Tsuna smiled sheepishly.

"Who's the kid?" Yamamoto asked.

"Enma, Guardian of the Earth," Enma said softly.

"EXTREME. How many are left to reveal themselves?"

"Two more, I believe..."

"I've met Mist, Cloud, Sun, Rain, Nature, Earth, and Storm...and I'm Sky...so, what's left?"

"Six and Seven...Thunder and Moon."

KT walked through the gates, seeing Tsuna and them sitting around on a fountain talking. "KT!" he exclaimed. "Can my friends come over? Turns out they're my Guardians too!"

She smiled. Friends..."Absolutely. They'll have to come by their own devices, though. I don't have room in my car."

"But I thought the Nissan had more seats..."

She smiled. "I got rid of that ugly thing."

"You got your new car?"

She nodded. "It may not be old like my first one, but it has got some pretty cool technology on it."

"I can take one," Hibari said. "My motorcycle is hidden in a shed."

"I can EXTREMELY run behind!"

"There's a backseat, but it'll only hold one."

"I'll go with Hibari," Yamamoto said. "You can go with Tsuna, Enma."

Enma seemed relieved. "Thank you, Yamamoto-senpai..."

KT started to walk to her new Bug. "Come on!"

Tsuna took the backseat, realizing as he got in his irrational fear of the car. Enma eyed him curiously. "Are you alright, Tsuna-kun?"

"Ur...Sure...not really..."

KT looked at him. "It's alright, Tsuna..."

He nodded. "I-I know..."

The revving of a motorcycle was heard from the courtyard, and Hibari and Yamamoto came flying out through the school gates. Ryohei punched his fist into the air, the word "extreme" heard faintly through the car. KT pulled out and drove down the road, following Hibari's motorcycle, Ryohei running after them. They pulled in at the house. Tsuna jumped out of the car, and took a deep breath of the air. "I'm alive..."

Yamamoto placed the helmet he was given into a compartment and closed it. "That was sweet..."

Ryohei stopped in the driveway. "That was EXTREME!"

Enma got out of the car, along with KT. They went inside and hung around a table for an hour before they all had to go home.

KT sitting next to him as he laid in bed. "I'm so glad you found some friends, Tsuna...you don't even know..."

Her words went unheard in his sleeping ear. He was awake, though, in Cielo.

He looked around in the darkness, trying to find something to hold onto. His hand touched something, but it wasn't sturdy, so they both fell. A light turned on in the hallway. He got up and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "Tsu-sama!"

"Tsuna? What are you doing in there?"

"I don't know! I just...showed up in here...I can't get the door open!"

He heard a lock click, and the door flew open. He jumped through the doorway and ran into his other, scared to death. "It's alright, kid..."

"That was scary! I thought the door was going to be stuck, and I would be stuck in the darkness until I returned home!"

"I wouldn't let that happen...I'm just glad you made a noise or I wouldn't have known you were here..."

"Were you asleep?"

"Partially...but it's nothing to worry about," he said, and then yawned.

"You can go back to sleep..."

Tsune took his arm and dragged him down the hall. He sat him on his bed and then went back to shut the light off in the hallway. He returned. "We can both sleep..." He got back onto the bed and molded into his spot. He patted the spot next to him. "Come on..."

Tsuna moved over and laid down next to him. His other took him into his arms, and held him tight. "Tsu...sama..."

He looked up at his face, which was content and already asleep. He smiled, and hugged back. "Goodnight, Tsu-sama..." He closed his own eyes, and drifted off into sleep.

He woke up still in Cielo. He looked around, confused. He got up and walked down the hall and down the stairs. There was a clang from the kitchen. "You're still here, kid?"

"I don't know what's going on..." He walked in and stood at the island counter. "Do you?"

"Not a clue..." He was shuffling around inside a cabinet, his front half completely inside. "Oh shit! Big ass spider!" He tried to back out, but hit his head on the ledge. "God damnit!" He got out and sat back on his knees, rubbing the back of his head. "I figured I should do some cleaning today...not going so well..."

Tsuna smiled. "I can help, I guess, if I'm going to be here a while."

"That would be nice...This place is huge...I guess I could call Melly too..."

Tsuna took a Swiffer to the stairs, walking up, and back down again making sure every speck of dirt and dust were collected. The front door opened. "Did you really have to make me do more work on the day I have off, Tsu?"

"Chill out, Melly...a little house work won't kill you."

"It's quite possible it could."

"Yeah, yeah...Hey, kid! Where are you?"

"Up here!" Tsune looked up at Tsuna, who was waving from the second floor. "I've been sweeping the stairs!"

"Thanks, Tsuna!"

"Who's the kid? He looks just like you, are you related?"

"Kind of...you remember what I told you I was here for?"

"Yeah...OH that's the kid?"

He nodded. Tsuna ran down the steps. "I killed a spider! It was huge! It must have had a bazillion eyes or something!"

"That was probably just one of many...Tsuna, this is Mel."

Tsuna bowed. "Hello, Mel-san..."

Mel patted his head. "You don't have to add the-" He saw Tsune make a gesture. "Eh..It's nice to meet you."

Tsuna smiled. "I can do the floors too, Tsu-sama, if you'd like..."

"Slow down, kid...you won't be doing this all by yourself, you know."

"I know, I'm just so used to cleaning by myself, I get carried away..."

"Hey, Melly, go on and find the supply closet...I have to show the kid something."

"No problem, Tsu...See ya..." He walked off to find the closet.

"What is it?" Tsuna asked curiously. He followed his other up the stairs.

"You'll see..."

They walked down a hallway, and stopped when they came to a door. He unlocked it from the outside, and opened it. "This was Mike's room."

The room had toys strewn all over, and shelves with action figures and nicknacks all across the walls. It seemed untouched. Tsuna marveled at the murals that covered the walls. "It's amazing..."

"Hana painted the walls for him..."

"What was your daughter's room like?"

Tsune closed and re-locked the door. He stepped down the hall and opened another door. Tsuna looked inside. The room was tidy, except for a diary and a pen on the floor. The walls were bright colors, all the colors of the Elements, and he noticed the symbols were painted there as well. The ceiling was black, with stars painted in. "They glow in the dark..."

The bed had a drape over it in a soft green, her bedding a mixture of green and brown, very earthly colors. "Did she know?"

"She did, and she embraced it...that's why she has so much faith in you..."

"What would have happened if she was chosen, and not me?"

"That's not really how it works...TC set it up so just in case you were to be killed by CT, he would have someone to be backup...You and I would have lost our powers to her, of course...but CT was smart and went after all the backup first..."

"Oh..."

He closed the door. "I thought that maybe you would have wanted to see what kind of people they were..."

"Thank you...that does say a lot about them, doesn't it?"

"Yeah..."

"Hey, Tsu!"

"Yeah!"

"You really need to clean around here more, I think the spider webs have collected webs!"

A light flashed in the hallway. "Hey, guys!"

Tsuna shielded his eyes. "TC...what's going on?"

"Training! You'll be here for a few days. In that time, Tsu-senpai, I'd like it if you could teach him a few things."

"It would have been nice if you could have told me before hand, TC..."

"Don't worry about it, Tsu-senpai! Oh, and I have some clothes for you, Tsunayoshi!" He dropped a duffel bag. "Buh-bye now!" He disappeared.
