Thanks for Rin//Strawberry Gashes, DemonXAlaude, Mukurou-chan, and Queen of Vampires for reviewing Chapter 3! Enjoy, okay?
Let's get it started, woohooo!
Chapter 4: Growth; Disintegration; Rejection.
Yukime's POV
After hearing all of the things Ryuunosuke's long, good-for-nothing, explanation about my stay. I came up with two conclusions: One, he has a very twisted self-esteem. It's true that I danced the 'First Bloom' that tells a story about a maiden who fell in love, and he considers it as my confession to him. Two, he's persistently idiot, and that's annoying! He said that I definitely confessed to him. I smile and reject all of his false accusations.
I try my best not to bluntly reply his accusations. I have to calm down. I bring the great reputation of Asari House here. "Anyway, she confessed to me. So, I'm taking her as my wife." Before I can reply with my fake smile and piercing words, Alaude had already blurt his thoughts. "After hearing all of long, good-for-nothing explanation, I came with two conclusions: One, you have a very twisted self-esteem, and two, you're an idiot."
I almost dropped my jaw hearing him. Ugetsu nii-sama nods. Giotto, G, Lampo, and Knuckle let out a small gasp. Demon Spade chuckled. "What's with that?!" He touches his Katana. "Put Harusame down, Ryuunosuke-san. This person is nii-sama's honourable friend, therefore, my guest. I won't let you hurt him in any circumstances." Alaude stares to me with irritation.
"Let's have a duel then, Mr. Hero! If I win, I'll take Yuki-chan with me."
I stared to Alaude. Ryuunosuke's words have perked his interest. "Fine with me. I just hope you don't fight like an herbivore." Alaude smiled. "You're right! Let's go to the courtyard!" Ryuunosuke answers with a weird lust for fighting.
When we reach the courtyard, both of them took out their weapon. Alaude's was a handcuff. As he twirls them around, it increases to two, four, and finally eight. A violet flame burst on all of them. Cloud flame, I guess. "Dying Will flames! Mafia… are ya?" Ryuunosuke asked. "If so?" Replied Alaude with a coolly tone. "Guess what, I can do that too!" He took out Harusame and a red flame bursts on their blade.
"Alaude, it is storm-class. I think I should do it."
G stepped in and put out his bow-gun. "Shut up, cancer man." Alaude glares to him. I stare at him right on. "Don't die." I plead. He petted my head tenderly, but his face didn't show any expression.
"How dull, of course I won't. Don't worry Yukime."
Alaude's POV
It's unlike me. Why the hell did I do this? But… that snow attacks and white flames intrigues me to no end. That girl's attitude too. She's weak, but she acts like a carnivore… huh, well said. I like that. I stood up to this so-called Samurai and his Katana with my handcuffs.
"You, have disrupt the law by falsely accusing a young girl. If you still resist…" I light my Vongola Cloud ring and let the flame flows to the handcuffs.
"I'll just have to bind you to death."
Giotto's POV
Yamamoto took the first charge and swings his sword relentlessly. Alaude managed to evade all of them easily. But he's still careful because Yamamoto's sword is coated with storm-class flames. "Hmph, your attacks are as weak as herbivores." Mocking his opponent in the middle of the fight is so like him. I divert my attention to Yukime who sat beside me.
She looked really worried. "He'll be fine. Alaude is very strong." She asked for proof, and I asked her to see to my Guardians' direction. "Wanna bet, Spade-san? I bet 10 Euros that Alaude-san will win." Asked Lampo. "Ku fu fu fu, it is definite that he'll win, right? I'll take you on." Knuckle clicked his tongue. "Betting, in other words, gambling; is a sin." Said Knuckle. Lampo and Demon Spade laughs. "Oh shut up holy man." Said G. No one looked worried.
When we turned into the fight, Yamamoto's whole body has been trapped inside Alaude's multiplying handcuffs. Yamamoto screamed and slashes his sword and let them disintegrate. "YOU'RE MINE NOW LITTLE MAFIA!" He charged in frantically. "Migliaia Barra di Tempesta! Thousand Slash of Storm!" Its impacts are heading to Alaude's direction, real fast.
"Alaude!" I shouted.
Yukime had intervened and stands right in front of Alaude, stretching her hands. Instinctively, I tossed her the Vongola Snow ring. She catches them and wore it on her right hand middle finger. "Vortice di Neve! Snow Vortex!" A vortex of snow formed and protects both Alaude and Yukime. All of the Migliaia Barra di Tempesta's impacts are frozen and disappear.
Knuckle, G, Demon Spade, Ugetsu, Lampo, Alaude, and I looked in amazements. All the first six were extremely surprised because it's the first time they seen Yukime's snow attacks. Yamamoto stared in amazement as well and didn't move. Yukime put her hands behind her hips and start attacking him. First, she attacks his chin with her knee, after the pain spread, she continues with her foot. She immediately takes off her kimono as usual and continues to attack Yamamoto with her kicks.
"Stop it, Yuki-chan! I really…" He pleads. Yukime put on a cold expression and say:
"Who gives you the permission to call me with the name Yuki?" with the same cold tone as her face.
She stares to G for a moment and created a sniper rifle out from her white flames. "Yuki-chan!" Yamamoto pleads in panic. "I just want to make… a sushi stall with you." Lampo and Knuckle burst out with laughter. The sniper rifle completely materialized. "That's interesting…" Said Demon Spade.
"Addio, Ryuunosuke-san." She whispers.
"Neve stile: Raffica di Follia! Snow style: Burst of Madness!"
She pulls the trigger a few times and many white, snow lasers came raging to Yamamoto's direction. It make Yamamoto freeze and melt for a few times, finally rendering him useless because of a high fever. The sniper rifle melts and disappears.
She frees Alaude from the vortex. Unexpected, Alaude sweat a lot and looked tired. "I'm sorry, being in that vortex tires you, does it? Well, my flames and snow have the tendencies to 'reject' any flames besides snow itself and the sun flames." She looked in the direction of Knuckle. All of us ran and surround them. "Get off me, I don't like crowds." Said Alaude. "Don't say that, you can help yourself with a nice green tea." Said Knuckle while patting Alaude's shoulder.
"Alaude-dono…" Said Yukime. Alaude hugged her tightly and cover her with his big mantle. "Thank you, Yukime." He whispers to her ear and immediately swept a kiss from her lips. "Did they just-!?" A mist shrouded around Lampo. "Some things are better known to only a few of us." Said Demon Spade while diverting his eyes from Ugetsu to G, and finally Knuckle.
Demon Spade leaves the courtyard first. "Hey, Alaude? You're not the only one interested with that Little Miss." Whispers Demon Spade to Alaude as he return to tea room.
Yukime's POV
Okay, you can call me an insufferable butting-into-other-people's-fight. But, if I don't protect Alaude-dono, believe me, he'll die. Speaking about Alaude-dono… its making me blush every time I think about it so don't ask me anything.
I just notice that I fell unconscious after Alaude-dono… well, you know. I gets up from bed and straighten my kimono. I let my hair down because it's more convenient. I walked to the tea room and find all of the Vongola Famiglia sitting there, waiting for me. I sit and asked nii-sama (not looking to Alaude-dono's direction, of course.) about Ryuunosuke's feverish body. "The Yamamoto clan's underling took him and swore for revenge or something. Less than that, everything is fine." I sighed in relief. "Come on, let's have a sip everyone." I smiled.
"Umm, can you excuse us Yukime-chan?" Knuckle asked. "Primo and I have manly things to discuss for a bit, is that okay?" I turn my face to Onii-sama who sat beside me. "Sure. It's okay." Said nii-sama while smiling.
"Ku fu fu fu…" Demon Spade laughs mysteriously as they leave the room.
Giotto's POV
"You see that Primo?! We can no longer turn blind eyes. You have to decide soon!"
Knuckle's word pains my chest. I cannot decide now.
"She's the target of Yakuzas now, Primo. I'll leave it to you…" Knuckle leans on a wooden pillar. "Hey Knuckle… maybe there's another way-." Knuckle cuts my words with a fierce glare. He patted my shoulder.
"You have to decide… whether you'll bring her to the mafia world… or not."
Yeah! Another chapter's done! Please review~~, ne? I like this chapter quite personally because of the battles. I skipped the literal fight between Yamamoto and Alaude because it took me 2 hours imagining them until the point where Yukime interferes, which makes it extralong. I guess that's all! Bye-bee~!
