Chapter 12: Trials Invoked.
"Tsuna!" Tsuna evaded the attack at the eleventh hour. "As expected of the former Vongola X." said the intruder. "What do you want?" scowled Tsuna.
"Are you okay, Kyoko, Haru?" Tsuna glanced at them, worried. "We're fine...more importantly..." began Haru. "Kyoko!" Ryohei yelled. He raised his fist and charged at the intruder.
"Sister Haru, Sister Kyoko!" Lambo and I-pin followed after Ryohei. They glared at the intruder. "Don't worry, we'll protect you." "Who are you?" demanded Lambo.
The intruder smirked. "I was sent by 'him'. My name is Sintrello Aegis." Tsuna sighed. "It hasn't even been ten years. What does he want?"
"Five years has passed. It's time. You have to invoke the Trials soon, you know that, don't you, Sawada Tsunayoshi?" said Aegis. "He cannot wait anymore. Don't ever test his patience, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"You...!" Ilario growled and stepped forward, to be stopped by Ienari. "Don't." "Wise choice, Sawada Ienari." said Aegis. "You were well-trained." He released a smokescreen, obscuring all eyes of vision, and he escaped.
"Who was that?" said Murasaki. "Was he someone you knew?" Tsuna just sighed, and walked out of the room. "Why is he so cold?" said Zen, raising an eyebrow.
"Tsuna!" his Guardians called after him. "Secure everyone's life. He'll soon start to move." said Tsuna. "Ienari's classmates are top-priority."
When Ienari went back to class, the intense stare from his classmates was a torture. Dino sighed. There is nothing than that, piquing their curiosity. "Fine, gather at my house tonight." sighed Ienari. "If you don't regret it, that is." said Ilario. "If anyone of you betray Ienari, I will single-handed kill all of you."
"Oh well. Since the cat is out of the bag, might as well spill everything." Reborn appeared on the window sill. Beside him, was Colonello and Lal Mirch. "What the heck are the three of you doing?" scowled Ienari. "Spying on you," said Reborn. "Well, don't!" Ienari pushed them away.
During the remaining hours in school, no one was motivated to focus, which made Nezu-sensei mad, but no one seems to care. For once, they enjoyed making Nezu-sensei mad, and his expression was entertaining.
"I can already imagine Nezu's face." laughed Yamamoto. "Yeah, right!" agreed Tsuna. They sniggered, only to be glared at by Hibari.
"Hey, Ienari." said Keiichi. "Where's your house? This is a restaurant." "Oh, Ienari. Welcome back." Iemitsu was chugging down a can of beer. "We own the restaurant." Tsuna was behind Keiichi. "Sawada...Tsunayoshi?" Keiichi blinked. "It's nice to meet you!" he bowed.
"Just relax, will ya?" smiled Tsuna. "Let's go, Kyouya." Tsuna and Kyouya disappeared into the second floor. Nana served some snacks as Ienari's classmates gathered around the hall. "Where should I start?" muttered Ienari.
"Is Sawada Tsunayoshi your brother, Ienari?" said Sayaka. "He's not just his brother, they're twins." said Iemitsu.
"TWINS?!" Ienari's classmates repeated.
"Impossible. Sawada Tsunayoshi has already graduated." said Keiichi. "It's the truth." Tsuna had showered and put on fresh clothes. "It's true that we're twins."
Gokudera sighed. "If only we had used an illusion back then," "Kufufufu. It's too late to turn back." chuckled Mukuro. Mukuro, Chrome and his gang were seated on one of the tables. "The usual, please, Nana." Mukuro smiled. "Okay," Nana smiled.
Tsuna and Kyouya were seated opposite Mukuro's table. They were silently eating their dinner.
"But I don't see a resemblance twins should have," said Keiichi. "Especially that hair color. Tsuna's hair is blond, isn't it?" "Yeah, you're right. It's blond." said Tsuna, grabbing another piece of toast.
"Tsuna is Italian, that's why." said Reborn. "Don't be surprised." "And they belong to the Vongola Family, Italy's greatest mafia." said Lal Mirch.
"Mafia?!"
"Ienari is their tenth successor, by the name, Vongola Decimo." added Colonello. Ienari scowled at the three Acrobalenos. "Why are you telling them everything?" "You want them to be involved, don't you?"
Reborn smirked. "Who knows." he sipped his espresso. "Reborn!" Ienari sighed.
"If you're scared, go back." said Ilario. "You'll regret it."
"Standing tall, protecting the Boss of Vongola, are the six Guardians. The Sky represents the Boss. And the six Guardians are Storm, Rain, Lightning, Mist, Cloud and Sun." said Murasaki.
Kyoko and Hana, walked in, together with Ryohei, joining Tsuna and Hibari's table, for dinner. "What the heck is this?" said Hana. "Ienari's classmates discovered everything." said Tsuna. "Uh-oh." Hana and Kyoko gulped.
"Sawada, you're Italian too?" said Sayuri. "Of course," said Iemitsu. "His ancestor is an Italian." "Kufufufu, this is getting interesting." Mukuro chuckled.
"Ienari, become stronger. He will not hesitate to kill." said Tsuna. "Even if it's God himself." "I don't understand. Why isn't Tsunayoshi is successor? He's the first twin, isn't he?" said Keiichi. Tsuna turned away. "Ienari will be the successor."
"Tsunayoshi." said Kyouya. "Hmm?" Tsuna turned, only to be kissed by Hibari. "Hey! What the heck?" said Naito. "Both of you, go to your room. I pity those guys there." said Yamamoto, clearing away the plates. Hibari stood, grabbing Tsuna by his arm, and dragged him up the stairs.
"They're gay?" said Keiichi, stunned by what just happened. Osamu fainted. "Oh my," Nana became concerned. "Gokudera, can you carry him into the guest room?" "Tch." Gokudera clicked his tongue. "Sure."
Ienari faced palmed. He can't understand what Hibari was thinking. Ienari left the main issue with his Guardians, and followed Gokudera, worried that Osamu might do something stupid.
After a while, Osamu stirred. "Oh, you're awake." sighed Ienari. "Don't go fainting in other people's house!" "Huh? Osamu blinked. "Oh!" remembering the incident, he stared at Ienari. "They're going out! They're men, you know? And your brother!"
"What about it?" said Gokudera. "You got so shocked that you fainted? Lame." "You're not worried about it?" said Osamu. Yamamoto passed by, and kissed Gokudera. "It's nothing. You who live in the light shouldn't question that. Our world is much darker than Ienari's."
"EEHH?!" Osamu froze.
"All of them went back?" said Ienari. "What did you tell them?" "Something big, and got misled by Reborn." said Zen. "It's the truth anyway," said Reborn. "It's not, Reborn!" said Lexi. "We don't go saving the world!" "But you're about to," said Colonello.
"I should be heading back, too." bowed Osamu. "Okay," Ienari smiled as he pulled the door shut behind him. "I think we're freaks now." said Mukuro. "Who cares?" said Ryohei. "We've been freaks since the beginning."
The next morning, Ienari and the Guardians woke up late. Tsunayoshi and Hibari were already gone. The Acrobalenos were not in sight to bully Ienari. "Oh, Master Sawada!" Basil was eating breakfast. "Aren't you late already?"
Ienari glanced at the clock, and started to panic. "Oh crap, we're late!' he and the Guardians grabbed pieces of toast and ran for school. As they expected, Hibari was glaring at those who break the rules, and Ienari was the first on the list.
"Hey, Ienari!" Osamu was running behind them. "Why are you here? Aren't you going to be late?" said Murasaki. "Aren't you too?" said Osamu. "I'll bite you to death," Hibari raised his tonfas, and glaring at them.
"Eh? We're not late yet." said Zen. "You're crowding," said Hibari. "Stop bullying them, Kyouya." chuckled Tsuna. "Tsunayoshi." Hibari turned.
"There it it! The focus of everything!" Ienari internally screamed. "Hn. Get to class." Hibari scoffed.
Ienari sighed as he entered his classroom. "I hope everything goes well..." Dino then entered together with Romario. Ienari's classmates stared at Romario, deciding if he's a bodyguard or a mafia.
Ilario saw waves hovering outside the window. The waves began closing around the classroom. "GET DOWN!" he yelled. The waves hit the classroom, causing a tremendous impact. The windows shattered. "Sawada Ienari. We have come to judge you. Come to the rooftop."
Tsuna and Hibari kicked open the door, to find two masked men hovering outside the window. "YOU. WHY ARE YOU HERE?! GET LOST!"
Dino pulled out his whip. "Ah, Sawada Tsunayoshi, Hibari Kyouya. You must execute your duties today. Invoke it." they said. "The test has started." Reborn hopped onto Ienari's shoulder. "Do you want to die, Baka-Nari? Go!"
Ienari and his Guardians raced out of the classroom. "I doubt it. Not when he tries to make Tsuna 'invoke' the Trials." said Ryohei. "When did you arrive?" said Tsuna. "I got a call from Kyoko. Seems terrible. Gokudera and Yamamoto are on the way."
"Dino, stay here. Protect the students." said Tsuna. " He won't care if anyone got involved in the process or died by accident." Tsuna and Hibari ran out of the classroom. "Of course," replied Dino. "Romario, call for backup." "Yes, sir." Romario pulled out a cellphone. This confirmed the students suspicions. Romario is a bodyguard, and also a member of the mafia.
"Look outside!" said Sayaka. Mafia men surrounded the whole school. Namimori Academy was surrounded. No one can come through, and no one can go out. "This is too extreme!" said Ryohei.
Ienari and the Guardians arrived at the rooftop, to find the masked man waiting for them. "Welcome, Sawada Ienari." "Who are you?" demanded Ilario. "My, didn't your dear brother tell you anything?" said the masked man. "The one who activated the Curse, was me, Kasane." he smirked.
The Guardians were stunned. "You...cursed Tsuna and the rest...?" Ienari quivered. "Of course. If he had became the Vongola Decimo, my Master wouldn't be too happy." replied Kasane.
"Tsuna-nii..." Ienari stared at Kasane's eyes. It was pure evil. "In fact, your brother saved you. Sawada Tsunayoshi was the best, and the strongest. He put up a fight, right to the end, before he became one of the Cursed Seven." said Kasane.
"And who are you to blame?" Tsuna kicked Kasane. "What are you planning, summoning them!?" "Summon what?" asked Ienari. "Are you really the Vongola Decimo?" said Gokudera. "Look over there." Yamamoto pointed to the courtyard.
Ienari gasped. Thousands of mafia men surrounded the school. With one word, Kasane could order a massacre. Ilario clicked his tongue. Zen, Lexi, Seira, Murasaki and Reiya were speechless.
"So, what's the Trial?" said Reiya. "Well, protect Namimori Academy." said Kasane. "We will start a war. Good luck. If anyone dies, you fail." Tsuna glared at Kasane. "How dare you!"
"Oh, you can't kill me. You can never." smirked Kasane. "The Cursed Seven can never. The Curse has been completed since a long time ago. It's been five years since that day." "We won't let it happen!" said Ryohei. "We'll protect everything!"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, you will, no, you must invoke the Trials soon. Or else..." sneered Kasane.
Five floors below, Dino yelled. "Protect everyone! Leave no one alone!" "Yes, boss!" Romario fired his rifle. "The Trials...has just begun." cackled Kasane as he vanished. "Protect all you want,in the end, you will administer you own Trials, Cursed Seven."
