Yo! I don't own Hitman Reborn!

Thanks a bunch for Kouyan, Queen of Vampires, animelover78, x3iLoveAnime, and RanLei for reviewing chapter 17~!

At last, June's here! My favorite month of the year with the exams to do and beach to visit. The month I was born on. New chapters of monthly manga, and my first time going abroad without parents! Uwaaaa~ I can't wait!

Anyway, let's get it started!

Chapter 18: You're Impossible, Hime.

Yukime's POV

I was just having a nice tea and snack while chit-chatting with Ryuuren when six different types of flames suddenly emerge. The grayish-black, the grayish-white, the lime-green, the navy-blue, the dark-orange, and finally, the light-brown. "Uh-oh, Ryuuren. Why don't we hide on your shadow?" I asked. He laughed. "Too late, Hime…" Carlos' voice pierces through.

"Hime, what's the meaning of this?" Asked Bianca-nee.

"I think you've gone too far this time." Said Antonio, and Claire nods.

"Inviting other Famiglia to raid our HQ?" Said Jared while shaking his head.

"I agree with Jared too, as I rarely do. And not to mention, the Vongola." Said Carlos.

"What is your motive, Yuki-chan?" Oji-sama asked calmly.

I giggled, and everyone except Ryuuren stared to me with a perplexed gaze. "Oh, sorry." I stopped and everyone wait for me to answer. "Please sit, Terzo Oji-sama, it's a thing between me and my Guardians." He chuckled. "Can I stay here and listen?" He asked. "Of course, if not, I would've asked you to leave." Carlos was the one who talk first.

"Please explain your reason, Quarto." I felt weird all of sudden. It's the first time anyone ever called me 'Quarto' even the subordinates called me Hime. I giggled and finally answer. "Think of it as a test, everyone… I want to see if you guys can win against the Vongola." I grinned.

"Are you saying that you don't care about the Spazio Famiglia, Hime?" Asked Claire in a high tone. I laughed out loud. These guys… what's with their brains?

"If I turn the chessboard around, does that mean that you're sure that you're going to lose?"

All of the Guardians didn't say anything. But then, Jared stepped in front of me. "Chill out, everyone. I mean, think it like a game, and Hime is the prize." I stand. "Hey, I don't mean that!" But, no one listened to me. "Really, understandable concept." Said Antonio, he winks to Claire. "I still object! You can see from the checkpoint battle and the Plan B operation that we're stronger than the Vongolas!" Siad Claire.

"You just chose the wrong word, Claire." Said Bianca-nee. I walked and sat on the sofa across Oji-sama's. "You're stronger? Yeah, you've proven that by getting banged to the wall and cough blood. Whoa, brillante! Let's give her applause." Claire is surprised by my words. Huh, she deserves it! I won't blindly trust anyone like I did before. I hate to be betrayed once again.

"But..!"

"What is this? Are you scared of Giotto-san, Alaude, Onii-sama, Spade-san, Knuckle-dono, G-dono, or worse, Lampo-senpai?" I asked. I don't really fancy calling them with that honorific anymore. But, it's necessary for bluffing.

The Spazio Famiglia Guardians, and Oji-sama didn't dare to make a sound.

"We'll be stronger than the Vongolas, Hime. Just you see."

Carlos', Antonio's, Bianca's, Claire's, and Jared's flame disappears. "You're amazing, Yuki-chan." Said Oji-sama. "Ehehe~, of course. I'm the Spazio Quarto, after all." I giggled and slurped the tea I left earlier. "Amazing? More like crazy!" Said Ryuuren in a light tone. All three of us laughed. Out of my Guardians, I like Ryuuren, Jared, and Bianca-nee the most. Because they're… rational.

When Ryuuren dissolves to shadows and Oji-sama left, I stare to the Vongola Snow Ring. "Now, let's see how far you guys could get stronger in two months, Onii-sama! Alaude!"

Behind the door, Ryuuren sighed.

"You're impossible, Hime."

Giotto's POV

I'll make it brief. Ugetsu and G are packing their belongings to a suitcase. Not to mention the passport and plane tickets on their hands. "Where are you both going?" I asked. "D-don't tell me that both of you will be leaving Vongola Famiglia?" Asked Lampo in a slight frightened voice. "Haha, of course not. I'm leaving to Japan for training." Said Ugetsu.

"Training, for the operation 'Drag-Yukime-Back-To-Vongola' one?" Lampo asked again. "Well, yeah. And I'll be going with him. I can't train only in Italy; it makes my fighting styles monotonous." Said G while trying to zip his suitcase. "Then, Primo. My father's men will come at any time; Ugetsu-san and G-san are leaving for Japan. Spade-san had already left without anyone noticing him. The only purpose is to train. All of us seriously want her back at the Vongola."

I nod. Of course I want her back on the Vongola. She made our Famiglia's bond stronger than ever. But… I'm such an idiot. Even though she's strong, she's still a little girl. Of course she'll want her brother to pamper her. Of course she hates it to be left alone, with big responsibilities to guard Asari House's name. We walked to the lounge and wait for Lampo's father's men to pick him, and Ugetsu and G's plane's departure.

"I'll stay here and train alone." The three Guardians nod. Suddenly, Alaude barged to the lounge to grab some coffee. "I'll be staying too, Primo." He muttered and didn't make another sound after that. After a few hours of waiting, the three of them left, and Alaude's gone with his training.

"That Alaude, from the beginning, he knew that she's going to be like this." I muttered to myself. But surprisingly, Alaude returned back to the lounge to get his weapon. Not just the handcuffs, but also, his modified warden club.

"If she's a true carnivore, she'll act this way." Said Alaude, and he really left. As he left, I can hear his muttering.

"Yukime… how can you do that? We… Giotto trusted you that you were strong enough to save yourself…"

I shake my head. I can't blame myself for whole eternity. That won't bring Yukime back!

I light my Dying Will flame on my gloves.

"Shall we dance my flames of Sky?"

Yukime's POV

I wander around the Spazio HQ. It's so boring when there's no one to tease. Oji-sama's sleeping, and my Guardians are training. I barge to a room and find Antonio and Claire there. "Ah, Hime!" Said Claire happily. "What're you guys doing here?" This room is reinforced with very thin sea-flames that'll reflect any flame that came in contact with it. The holes are fitted with Gatling guns coated with storm flames.

"Is this your training room, Claire?" I asked. "Yeah…" She nods. "…I've been thinking what you said earlier. It seems that I really rely too much on Antonio in battle." She stares to Antonio affectionately. "Honestly, why aren't you that are Claire's lover, Antonio-kun?" I asked. "Well, Antonio lost on a poker game with Ryuuren. The winner's going to be my boyfriend…" Said Claire.

"Yeah, we were so sure that I'm going to win, but, I lost." Said Antonio. "Besides, we act like lovers already. Even you could see that, right?" Said Claire with a happy tone. I nod. "Umm, about Vongola's invasion-!" They cut my sentence with a fierce glare.

"You'll see Hime, we're definitely stronger than Vongolas. Now, please leave the room because my training session is going to start."

With that sentence, I was kicked out of the room.

Then, I went to several rooms. I found Bianca-nee trying to sustain electricity so she can conduct it with her flames later. After a few sentences, she asked me to leave. It's same with Carlos and everybody else. How boring.

"I guess I'll just read my Hikaru Genji books…"

*In Japan*

"Welcome home, Ugetsu-sama, and G-sama. I see that Yukime-sama didn't return with you." Said a maid in the Asari House. "Well, yes…" Said Asari Ugetsu. Both of them are escorted to a specific room that Ugetsu had asked for.

"Since you will be resuming you regime as Asari House's head… we'll give you permission to enter this room…"

Both of them entered a sacred room. A shinai and a scroll are displayed. "Please excuse me." The maid bows and leaves.

"Just a typical bamboo-sword." Said G when he points to the shinai. Ugetsu takes the shinai from its display.

"Not just any shinai, this one is special. If it's used by the right arts, it'll turn into a powerful katana."

"Boohoo!"

"I am not playing, G. Besides, this art have been invincible in almost every way. Handed from generation to generation, only six forms are known to the Asari clan…"

"And what is that?"

"It is the invincible Shigure Souen Ryuu style, along with its shinai, the Shigure Kintoki."

Voila! It's done~! I don't know if Asari clan was the one who developed the Shigure Souen Ryuu or not. But for the convenience, I'll make it so. Please review! And… thanks for animelover78 for letting me using her mini-speech for Alaude! I'm so tired after the field trip. So, I guess I'll go to bed early. That's all.

Bye-bee~!
