As I say earlier… it's my best birthday ever! Yamamoto said happy birthday to me, my friends gave me a surprise party, and they even sketch me a Yamamoto pic! He looks absolutely cool there!
Okay then! Let's get started!
Chapter 25: Trespassing.
Yukime's POV
I woke up in the infirmary. I don't know how many match I missed, or maybe I didn't miss anything. I… lost to Onii-sama. I guess I am incapable of hating him.
"And what makes you think that I'm going to let you see her?"
Ryuuren's muffled voice came from the door. He's chewing something. "Because I'll bind you to death if you don't let us." Said… Alaude. "Ryuuren… let them in, it's okay." I asked to the door. He slides the door and came in with a basket of bread and fruits. "Well, I thought you might be hungry." He stepped in sink to his own shadow, and appears beside my bed.
Three Vongolas stepped into the room as well. It was Ugetsu nii-sama, Giotto-san, and Alaude…
"I miss you." I blurt out without thinking.
I suddenly realized what I've just said and blush. Alaude smirked and sits beside my bed with Onii-sama. While Giotto sat on my bed. They weren't surprised by my sentences. I jumped to a conclusion. "Onii-sama… told you, didn't he?" Ugetsu nii-sama and Giotto smiled. Tch, that Onii-sama. How dare he spoil a girl's greatest secret?
"I'll make it clear once again, Yukime-chan. Return to Vongola if you miss us that badly." Said Giotto with a calm tone. I stare uncomfortably to Ryuuren, who didn't show any expression and continue to peel his apple as nothing had happened. "It's not that easy… Giotto-san. The Spazio Famiglia needs me." I clenched my fist, preparing for the worst-possible answer.
"The Vongolas need you too, Yuki-chan."
Onii-sama's answer made me flinched. The almighty Vongola, Onii-sama's Famiglia actually needs me? I took a breather and exhale. "Hime, I'll tell you this. Actually, to be the boss of Spazio, you don't have to necessarily be an earth-flame bearer…" All of us in the room stare to him in question. "Well, if we can find an earth-flame bearer whoever they are, a beggar, a rich kid or everything, we'll make them our boss. But, in Spazio Secondo's time, we can't find one. So, she was made boss even though she possesses the sea-class flame."
Giotto interrupted before the rest of us are able to. "Wait a minute, then, she can't light the Spazio Earth Ring, can she?" He asked. Alaude, Ugetsu nii-sama and I nod. "In her time, we don't involve ourselves with other Famiglia like we did right now. She only held on to it, but never uses it." He nonchalantly eats his apple and continues.
"When she died, the Famiglia members who possess the 'Flames of Earth' wanted to be the boss as well. It was then; the Terzo and his son came. The Terzo become the Boss, and to avoid the mournful 'Throne Fights' to happen again, he made his son the successor of his Famiglia should we never find an earth-flame bearer. And that son is…"
Ryuuren suddenly stops and trembled. "No, if you don't want to say it, then don't… Ryuuren." I suggest him. Ryuuren shook his head. "No, I'll tell you Hime."
"Is it… Jared?" Asked Giotto.
I flinched. If he is, it's no wonder he try to be nice to me. I've taken his throne and willingly rejected it. I trembled as well.
"Yeah, He is…"
"HURRY! WE CAN'T LET HIM DIE!" The medical team's voices rushes around. Ugetsu nii-sama stepped out. "Excuse me, what is wrong?" He asked. "Oh, Vongola's Rain Guardian! It's your…" He looked plainly remorseful. "HEY YOU! WE DON'T HAVE ANYTIME FOR IDLE CHATTER! LET'S CARRY HIM THE ICU IMMEDIATELY!" A bed is pushed at high speed.
"It's your Guardian of Storm, Vongola's Rain Guardian!"
Upon hearing this, Giotto and Onii-sama immediately run to the next room. Alaude stand up and ruffle my hair, and he left the room.
"Who on earth is he fighting with, Ryuuren?" I asked.
"It's no other than him… of course…"
Spazio's POV
[Antonio's]
I return with the coffee Claire asked me to bring. "Oh, Antonio! Too bad it's over." I put the coffee and ran to the porch. "Really? It hasn't been two minutes since I left!" Claire giggled and took our coffee. She handed it to me and we lean on the porch. "How's the Vongola? Alive?" I asked. Claire nods. "Almost! He trespass the hell boundary. You should've seen it!"
I sips my ultra hot coffee and my tongue got burned~. How lucky~! "But, it sure is fast…" I sighed. "Of course it is. We're talking about the Ace of Spazio Guardian!" He jumped back to the podium. "So, how many minutes have I took?" He asked. "Two minutes and two seconds, Jared-san!" Claire looked at her stopwatch.
"Hmph. It used to be a minute long…"
"What did you do, Jared-san?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Nothing, I just created the hell boundary with my flames. And he trespass it one minute and two seconds later." He shook his head again. "The hot-headed type is always bad for you, right, Jared-san?" He chuckled. "I suppose. He's half burnt, by the way, I can't believe it took him one minute full to be burnt. Good thing I didn't kill him, Hime will be so sad if I did." The three of us laughed.
"So, it 3 to 2 for Vongolas, is it?" I asked. "Yeah. We didn't expect the Hime versus Asari Ugetsu one." I sip my coffee again.
"Life is always fair… right, Father?" Jared stares to the Terzo Famiglia's podium. Terzo stick his thumb out. "It doesn't matter if I'm not the boss, as long as Yukime-san and father is here…"
Yukime's POV
"Hime… to tell you the truth, I don't really care if you wanted to be the Vongola's Snow Guardian." I stare to Ryuuren in shock. "You won't abandon the Spazio when we need you. I believe that…" He sighs. "But, Claire, Antonio, Carlos-san, Bianca, and Jared-san didn't think that. They think you'll easily abandon us for Vongola's sake when I know you aren't that kind of person."
I hugged him thankfully. "Thank you, Ryuuren. Thank you for believing in me." He hugged me back. "Of course! Especially because you're not-!" He stopped himself abruptly and covers his mouth. "I'm… I'm not what, Ryuuren?" He looked guilty and shook his head again. "It's not important, Hime. I'm sorry." I shook my head abruptly. "NO! It must be! Tell me!"
"Some things… are better left unspoken." And Ryuuren left the room.
Vongola's POV
[Giotto's]
Knuckle ran to the ICU to help reinforcing G with the sun-class flames. G is burnt on almost every part of his body. He didn't shout or everything, the doctor said even his sense of touch is damaged. Ugetsu is in shock and is leaning on the wall. He tried to play his flute to calm himself; I just listened to his shivering melody.
"It's too deep. And his burnt wounds are especially difficult to heal with sun-class flames…" I can hear whispers from within the room. "NO! There must be an extreme way of saving him!" Said Knuckle in panic. "I'll do something." Yukime came out from her room, wearing only a nagajuban. She grips her injured shoulder.
Alaude supported her. "I'll reject his wounds. But, it'll make him felt intense pain…" Said Yukime, it seems that she herself avoid doing this. "Will he be able to be saved?" Asked Ugetsu. She nods. "Carnivore… I mean, Yukime, don't push yourself." Said Alaude in a coolly tone. She smiled. "It's okay." She lets go of Alaude and enter the ICU.
I can faintly hear her whisper. "Snow, reject the bloods, the wounds, and the flesh."
G's scream can be heard from everywhere in the coliseum.
Spazio's POV
[Ryuuren's]
Jared pinned me down to the wall. "Do you spill everything?" He asked.
"No, I didn't."
"Mark your own words, Ryuuren. And she's definitely going to break when she heard that."
"Exactly the reason why I didn't tell her."
He lets me go. "Very well, prove yourself by winning, Guardian of Shadow…"
I enter the podium and heard the next battle pairing.
"The next fight will be Knuckle of Vongola Famiglia, versus, Claire von Seithr of Spazio Famiglia!"
Finished~! I'm sorry for the late update. I had to reply everyone's birthday wishes and attend my own party. Please review~~~! Oh, please remember Ryuuren's words to Yukime. It's big hint for the next arc! That's all!
Bye-bee~!
