The Vongola: Lampi
Another chapter of The Sakurai and the Vongola… This is going to be the last chapter I update before the start of the school year, it doesn't mean I won't keep updating, it just might be infrequent, that plus, when you add in the fact that Firefox is being a total pain in the ass… Enjoy~!
Note: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn… If I did, I wouldn't be here…
KA-BOOOM!
Chiyome fell forward, her head landing on the table, on top of her math book.
She suddenly sprang up, glaring at the both of them. "In what universe are there home tutors who use dynamite to blow their student up if they answer the question wrong?" she exclaimed angrily.
"I'm just following the methods of my predecessor, the Katekyo Hitman Reborn, who trained your great-great-great grandfather, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Rinato replied casually with a shrug.
"I have to agree with Rinato on this, Lady Sawada, despite the fact that I am entirely against this, from what I have researched about your fore-fathers on the Vongola side of the family, this Tsunayoshi was very much like you, weak and useless… That is until this Reborn character came around and trained him to become a good boss for the family. So, I suppose the methods he used on your great-great-great grandfather ought to work on you."
Chiyome heaved a miserable sigh, turning away and towards her window… That's when things got strange (er)… There on the branch by the window was a strange looking boy, with a missile launcher, a gun, an ax, and other various weapons.
"Um… You guys… Do you see a weird kid outside on that tree over there?" she asked pointing in his direction.
Chika raised an eyebrow at her student, before looking over at where she was pointing. The other eyebrow joined the first one. "What in the name of… Who in Kami-sama's name is that?"
"Now then, remember this formula, it will probably be on the test this Monday." Rinato stated simply, not seeming to have heard either one of them.
The cat and the girl looked at each other, then the strange kid, then at Rinato, and repeated the process, that is until…
"Shin-ne Rinato!" the weird kid suddenly exclaimed, aiming the gun he had at the baby.
CRACK!
Then the branch broke under the weight of the kid, plus all of the weapons, and he fell, until he hit the ground with a loud "Gyu-pah!"
Chiyome and Chika both looked out the window and down to where the strange boy had landed.
He slowly picked himself up, crying, snot dripping from his nose. "Ga Ma N… (1.1)" he mumbled, sniffling, before running away, crying his eyes out.
It was the next day and they were at it once again Chiyome was studying with her home tutors, the situation was pretty much the same, except Chiyome wasn't getting blown up as much due to the fact that she was actually doing pretty well.
"See, all you need was a little effort." Chika said smiling at her student.
'More like fear that I'll be blown to heaven.' She thought to herself. She vaguely heard the door bell ring, and her sister answer it but she paid no attention to it… That is until, the door to her room slammed open and the boy from yesterday stood there.
"Sashiburi (2), Rinato! It's me! Lampi (3)!" he exclaimed.
Chiyome blinked at the boy blankly.
"It came in…" Chika murmured blankly, before turning to Rinato. "Do you know him?"
"Chiyome, we're going to try this formula next, okay?" Rinato asked, ignoring the strange, little boy.
"Eh?" Chiyome said blankly.
"Grrr… Don't ignore me, Dammit!" the boy exclaimed, jumping at Rinato.
Rinato merely held out his hand, and the boy smacked into it, before flying right in to the wall.
'Cruel…' Chiyome thought to herself, eyeing the boy.
As the boy slid down the wall, he said to himself shakily. "I-I m-m-must have tr-tripped over something…"
He the started to bawl. "I, Lampi of the Singolare (4.1) family, a five year old Hitman has tripped! My favorite foods are candy and bananas (5)! I, Lampi, Rinato's sworn rival have tripped!"
Chiyome sweat dropped. 'He's trying to introduce himself while crying…'
"Well, anyways, it's nice to see you again, Rinato!" he exclaimed happily, getting up and walking towards him.
"So then, try solving this question. (2*3)/6*3+1. (6)"
"Umm… Okay then…" she said, hesitantly, while her mind screamed, 'Your just gonna ignore him?'.
"Ummm… 4?"
He nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Chika stared at Rinato, the strange kid called Lampi, then at her student, and repeated the process. Her ears flattened onto her head. 'Maybe I should stay out of this…' she thought to herself.
"Ga Ma N… (1.2)" he murmured, not liking that he was being ignored.
"Oh, hey, look at this!" Lampi exclaimed, pulling something from his hair. "Ta Da!" he held it out.
"A cherry bomb? (7)" Chiyome exclaimed.
"Correct!" exclaimed the boy. "Shin-ne, Rinato!"
Lampi threw the bomb at Rinato, but all Rinato did was deflect it right back at the boy. The bomb smacked him in the face, and sent him flying right out her window, and into the tree they saw him in yesterday. Then… KA-BOOM! The cherry bomb exploded.
"Alright then." Rinato said. "Next question."
I heaved a sigh as I trudged to school, thinking about what happened last night.
~flashback~
I turned back to Rinato, and stared at him blankly. "Did you really have to go that far, I mean, you know him, don't you?"
"No, I don't know him." Rinato stated.
"Eh?" I asked blankly.
"Either way the Singolare (4.2) family is a relatively small family." He said with a shrug. He then stood up to full power. "I don't associate with those of lower rank."
'How cool…' I thought to myself blankly.
Before I knew it, I was at my shoe locker.
"Ohayōgozaimasu, 20th." I turned her head, Venerazione-kun seemed to have popped out of no where next to me.
"Eh? Venerazione-kun…?" I murmured. "You don't have to call me that you know…"
"No, the 20th is the 20th." He stated determinedly.
"Eh? But…" I began.
"Oh? Are you guys playing a game?" asked a familiar voice.
I looked over Venerazione's shoulder. "Yumemiru-kun."
"It sounds like fun, can I join in?" he asked.
I sweatdropped. 'He thinks we're playing a game.'
"Ohayo, Chiyome-chan." Said a voice. We all turned once again to find Mizuki, Megumi, and Victor approaching us.
"Wow, what are you all doing? If Hibiki finds you all crowding here he'll bite you to your death you know." Said yet another familiar voice. I turned once more.
"Akane-chan! Ayame-chan!" I exclaimed.
"Um, Chiyome-chan, is that you're little brother?" Ayame asked, pointing to my leg.
"Eh?" I asked looking down, I gave a start. "EH? You! How did?"
There was the weird kid from yesterday… Crying his eyes out… While latched onto my leg…
"Um… Eto… Excuse me!" I exclaimed running off.
When I was sure I was a safe enough distance from the others, I knelt down, and pried the boy from my leg.
"Hmm… You're name's Lampi, right? What exactly are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I was looking for Rinato…" he sniffled.
I heaved a sigh. "So you're lost, eh?" I asked exasperatedly.
That's when the walls right next to us opened, and out popped, Rinato and Chika.
"Chiyome, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in class?" asked Rinato.
"Eh? Where the heck do you keep coming from?" I exclaimed.
"My hideouts in the school are all connected by a secret passageway." He stated simply.
"Don't do that randomly!" I yelled at him, waving my arms.
That's when Lampi scurried up me, and hopped onto my head. "Ah ha! You fell for it Rinato! This was all staged to get you to come out!"
"But you were actually crying…" I murmured, blankly.
His face fell, for a maximum of 5 seconds, before, he pulled out a missile launcher. "Brace yourself Rinato!" he exclaimed.
"Hiieekk!" I exclaimed, falling back.
"Oh for Kami-sama's sake! It looks like I'm going to have to handle this…" I heard Chika grumble.
I turned towards the cat. My jaw dropped. Chika was standing on her two back paws, her front paws were held over her chest area. An aura of some sort seemed to engulf her. In her two front paws, it looked as though, they were forming… A fireball?
"Hiieeeekkkkk!" I screamed, ducking just as Chika threw the fireball at Lampi.
Let's just say that, for a cat, Chika has really good aim… And could make a really good pitcher… The fireball hit Lampi and destroyed the missile launcher and sent him flying.
About five minutes later, he was wailing as loud as a baby does for milk.
I heaved a sigh. 'He's crying again…' I thought to myself exasperatedly.
Chika blinked once, then twice, and then said. "He's so weak…"
He then reached into his hair and pulled out a large purple bazooka, still sobbing.
"Eh? What is he doing?" I said blankly.
He then pulled the thing from his hair tossed it onto the ground, and jumped, and somehow activating the device.
Ka-Boom!
Pink smoke billowed about and filled the air. And out of the smoke someone suddenly walked out…
I got a pretty clear sight of the person, it was a guy… He looked like he was only a few years older than I was.
When he finally came into full view, he heaved a sigh.
"Yare yare (8), it's nice to see you young 20th…" he murmured casually.
'Who is this guy?' I thought to myself. 'And how does he know me?'
"Thanks for taking care of the me from 10 years back. I am the once crybaby, Lampi." He introduced himself, as if he could see into my head.
"N-Nani?" I exclaimed shocked.
"Ah, the ten year bazooka." I looked at Rinato confused; just, as I was about to ask him what he meant, he began to explain. "It's a weapon was created by the Bovino Family that allows the user to travel ten years into the future. The older model's side effects would only last for 5 minutes, but with great work, scientists have been able to make it last longer."
I raised an eyebrow. "How much longer?"
"By a minute." He stated simply, I fell down. "Now, you can stay for 6 minutes instead of five."
He then walked up to Rinato. "Yo, it seems as though you don't recognize me, Rinato. It's me, Lampi, whom you've always ignored."
I turned to look at Rinato, and fell again… 'He's still ignoring him…'
"Well, it seems as though this has come to a battle, then. I'll show you how much stronger I am after 10 years…" he said. "Thunder, set!" he exclaimed pulling something out of his belt, and holding it to the sky.
Thunder flashed about. His entire being crackled in electricity. I was kinda scared… That is until I saw what he was holding, which caused me to fall down once again. 'Is that a… Fire poker… (9)?'
He chuckled. "Even though this fire poker may seem ridiculous, there is actually a million volts in it…" Then, he charged. "Shin-ne, Rinato! Carica Elettrica (10)!"
Rinato just calmly transformed Camel into a cane, and hit Lampi on the head with it. Everyone froze, for about five seconds. The silence was broken when the adult Lampi broke the silence and said. "Ga Ma N… (1.3)" before running off and crying.
I sweatdropped. 'He's still the same…'
And that's the end of this chapter! I have to say, this is probably one the better endings to a chapter… Oh, and on a side note, I may not be able to upload pictures of the characters on deviantart for a while due to the Internet problem. I'll still do them though, so that I may just somehow be able to get them online… Anyways, Ciao for now!
1.)Ga Ma N, Lambo's catchphrase that means tolerate, gotta stay calm, or hold it in.
2.) Sashiburi, I'm pretty sure this means, it's been a while in Japanese.
3.)The reason I chose this name for him is because, Lampi is another translation of lightning in Italian, and it sounds like Lampo and Lambo, doesn't it?
4.)Singolare literally translated means singular, but it can also mean strange in Italian.
5.)I chose bananas as his favorite food, because, grapes are purple, and the opposite color of purple is yellow, and when I think of the words yellow and fruit in the same sentence… It makes me think about bananas, so… Yeah… ;)
6.)This math problem is an order of operations problem. So, (2*3)/6*3+1, first you do parenthesis, and it is now 6/6*3+1. Next are either multiplication and/or division, which ever comes first from left to right… So, it's now 1*3+1, so now we do multiplication and now it's 3+1. Finally we do either addition or subtraction, which ever comes first from left to right, and then we have our answer, 4.
7.)Well, Lambo uses hand grenades, and I wanted to do some thing original, so I decided to go with cherry bombs.
8.)Yare yare, in Japanese, I'm pretty sure this translates into, 'My, my.' Or something of the sort…
9.)Fire poker… Yeah… Like I said, I wanted to be original, so… This is the best I could come up with…
10.)Carica Elettrica translates into Electric Charge in english.
