Welcome back!
Thank you everyone for reviewing!
Joyce - Don't worry, the Vendicare will have their own little arc after this fight =D. I haven't forgotten about them just yet.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR but I do own Yukiko, Momoko, Hiro, Akane, Aya
Everything available to the naked eye was covered in snow. What wasn't was covered in blood.
Away from the bloody scene itself, was pure white snow. But in the middle laid a small figure. Around the small figure was red snow.
A dark shadow stood over the figure laughing darkly. Blood was dripping down from their body and onto the snow turning into a light red. Their eyes slowly looked up and their laughter became even more erratic than before.
A white mask was a few meters away from the two bodies. It was cracked and bloody but you could still see it's form.
It was a fox mask. The very same one that Yukai wears.
"You're next." The dark shadow chuckled, now closer than before. Slowly it held up it's weapon and quickly brought it down.
Tsuna woke up with a jump. He was breathing hard from the dream he had. If you can even call it that! That was a pure nightmare.
"Dame-Tsuna you woke me up." Reborn stated a dark look in his eyes. Tsuna freaked out trying to apologize. But of course Reborn didn't listen and kicked him hard in the head. Tsuna held his head and wondered what did he do to deserve this.
After things calmed down, Reborn and Tsuna walked downstairs to the kitchen. Tsuna poured himself a glass of water but didn't bother to drink it. Instead he stared at it worriedly.
He didn't even know anything about the Snow Guardian, let alone the ring. Yet he trusted her because of the words she said. But he was still unsure about her.
"Trust your guardian." Reborn stated breaking Tsuna from his trance. Tsuna frantically rubbed his head confused.
"But Reborn I don't know nothing about her!" He cried out. Reborn kicked him in the face. Tsuna grabbed it pain.
"Follow me." The baby stated jumping off the table but not before grabbing him by the neck collar.
Reborn dragged the him out of the house ignoring his protest and dragged him all the way to Namimori Mountain. But he did stop to let Tsuna walk himself and carry him claiming he was tired.
After getting lost for a little bit and being kicked by Reborn did Tsuna finally make it to a waterfall
Two figures were shadowed by the dim light and were opposite from each other. The one on the right ran at the left and stuck a punch. At the last moment the one the left dodged and did a uppercut into the rights shoulder. However that didn't make them lose a beat as they threw a thin rectangle weapon at them. The lefty disappeared and reappeared behind them. She elbowed them in the back and kicked them in the knees causing them to fall.
Suddenly righty swung her arm back narrowly hitting lefty's side. They stood up and bowed down. Then they did a spin around them before hitting lefty in the back with something.
"The soft icy mask that covers and protects the families tracks." Reborn stated catching Tsuna's attention.
"They protect the family by it's icy storm and cover their tracks with it's soft icy blanket. They are defensive and offensive but their main goal is to protect and cover the family."
"W-Why was the Snow Guardian forbidden?" Tsuna asked a little hesitant. Reborn's hat covered his eyes as he stared straight ahead with an emotionless face.
"The first guardian died because of their flame." A voice stated. Tsuna looked up real quick. Yukai stood in front of him holding a small fan in her hand.
"HIEE!" Tsuna jumped a little scared from her. She chuckled lightly and ruffled his hair.
"Tsuna-san you shouldn't be up so late. I'll take you back." She grabbed his wrist dragging him away from the scenery.
"M-Matte!" He cried out. She stopped and turned back to him.
"A-Ano..." He started a little uncomfortable under her gaze. "Why did you join?"
She sighed and let go of his wrist. Tsuna began to fidget a little as the mask stared at him. A light tap on his forehead made him look up. He couldn't see it but he could tell the girl was smiling behind the mask.
"Ne, don't worry about it okay. Let's get you back before someone finds you missing."
Tsuna let the masked girl drag him back but he couldn't help but wonder where the sense of familiarity was coming from.
I stared at the CD case and then back at Ai's rare eager face. Slowly I opened it and stared at the bright green CD.
"Who is this again?" I mumbled closing it and stared at the girl on the cover. She looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had bright blond locks and dark violet orbs. She was a little pale but that made the violet eyes pop out even more.
'Camilla Nicola' was written across the top in fancy letters. The background of a small meadow made the dark words and the girl pop out.
Ai hastily grabbed the case from me and sent a small glare my way.
"Camilla Nicola the musical prodigy! She was the best dancer, singer, and instrumental player in England!" She exclaimed happily. I sighed and grabbed the case from her once more. I opened it once more leaning onto my hand boredly.
"What do you mean was?" I questioned taking out the CD to look at what it hid. Ai sighed sadly from beside me as I stared at the picture interested.
"The stadium where she was playing at in London suddenly blacked out and locked down. Two hours later, the cops managed to get in but the sight they saw surprised them. Everyone that was at the concert was dead. They were killed and Camilla was gone. They couldn't find her body anywhere and they reported her missing. Two years back they finally closed the case and deemed her dead."
I tore my eyes from the case and stared at Ai who laid her head gloomily on her desk.
"I just barely discovered her too!" She whined acting out of character. I sweatdropped as her glasses fell from the immature act she was making. Hesitantly I rubbed her back before looking back at the CD.
It was the same girl except her eyes were a little lighter and her face was paler. But the thing that trouble me are those eyes. They're so emotionless but on the CD cover they're filled with happiness.
"Here take it and listen to the music okay!" Ai grinned at me snatching the case and CD. She dug into her bag before taking out a CD holder. She placed the CD there and handed it to me.
"Those were all the CD's I could find and buy sadly." She sighed sadly before pushing her glasses up. She stood up abruptly and glared at everyone who were staring at us. Quickly they turned around scared. I shook my head before placing the holder into my bag.
I sighed staring at my desk making small circles with my index finger. My eyes wandered to the three empty desks that seemed to mock me.
The bland desks look dull with it's owners. Without them to fill it in and it made me a little sad.
I needed someone I could talk to. Someone that could make me think that what I was doing wasn't a mistake. That it's the right thing. But how can that happen when he isn't here when I need him?
"Let me get this straight," Aya started glaring at me. "You're not going to do the lead because you had a dream that you were in a fatal car accident." I nodded crossing my arms over my chest.
Aya threw her hands up in the air muttering incoherent things a lady should not say. After her little tantrum she grabbed me by the shoulders staring me straight in the eyes.
"Stop being superstitious." She hissed with venom dripping from every word. I winced lightly from the tight grip before leaning my head back.
"I'm sorry?" It came out as a question as her light blue eyes started to turn dark. Slowly I reached up and pried her hands from my shoulders and gave her a small smile.
"Gomen Aya-sensei, I let you down. But I promise it won't happen again." I bowed down shutting my eyes tight.
"Ja Ne." I walked out of the studio quickly. It wasn't until I was far away did I finally look back.
Tonight isn't something I can back out of now. Even if it might hurt Aya I have to do this. I'll make it up to her somehow, but I'll try to make this fight quick. The faster it is done the less wounds there are to cover up.
But like all things out there, it's easier said than done.
The mask was the same as when I first bought it. It was still smooth and the paint looked brand new as well. It hasn't changed one bit.
Gently I placed the mask down before picking up my baton.
It was hand-carved by Reina herself. She made it for me after Alex said he'll teach us magic tricks. She always said a magician isn't complete without their magic baton, so what does that make me?
I sighed grabbing a cloth and began to wipe the baton. I turned my head to look out the window. It was cloudy and the clouds were a light gray. This seemed like his favorite day.
A man that looked to be in his late twenties grinned at me. His hand was held out in front of him. Shyly I took his hand before quickly letting go. He let out a laugh before ruffling my hair.
"Do you know where Reina is?" He questioned. I bit my lip before shaking my head. He sighed before standing back up. His brown hair was sweeped back and his black eyes shined in the light. He was wearing a black shirt with regular jeans. Behind him was a red motorcycle.
"Alex?" A voice asked in surprise. I turned back and saw Reina. She smiled brightly before running to the man and gave him a big hug.
"I haven't seen you in months! I was worried." She hit him lightly in the chest after they separated. He told her sorry before asking who I was. Reina glanced towards me before whispering something in his ear.
He bent back down to my height and held out his hand. I stared at it not knowing what to do. I already shook it last time.
He began to wriggle his fingers before closing his hand into a fist. He opened his hand and out came a small butterfly. I gasped in amazement.
"Yukiko this Alex an old friend of mine. He's a magician."
"That's so cool! Can you teach me how?" I questioned happily. He laughed at me.
"A magician doesn't reveal his tricks." He stated. I frowned and began to pout.
"Then how does the subordinate of the magician learn?" A voice called out. A few seconds later Hiro appeared next to me glaring at Alex.
"Yo what's up Hiro." He grinned at him.
"Teach me." Hiro stated ignoring his greeting. Alex's grin faltered for a moment.
"I want to learn to!" I put in. Alex sighed before chuckling.
"Some kids you got Reina." He mused before standing up. "I like them."
I sighed shaking my head. This really isn't the time to be remembering things.
I placed the baton down before grabbing the paper fan. It was pretty old and the color was fading but I wanted to use it and it's counterpart.
I opened the black fan and smiled at the red flower patterns. I twisted the bottom of the fan and blue flowers began to spread on the fan. It was something my father made for me before he died.
It's counterpart was of course a white fan with purple leaf patterns. If you twist the bottom silver leaf patterns also begin to show.
Slowly I placed the fans together by their bottoms and began to spread them in a rapid speed. When the fan began to slow down the fan had became one. The flowers were a maroon color with a purple lining. The leafs were a light blue with a silver lining. As for the fan one side was white and the other was black. The paper itself was a dark gray color.
"Hitoshirenu keise*." I whispered lightly. The last thing my father made before his accident. The same one that cause us to move to Namimori.
I held the fan close to me. This was the last thing I had of my father. The last thing I remembered him making. The same thing that claimed his life.
"Are you ready?" A voice called out. I jumped from the bed and spun really quickly. The old hag stood at the door. I glanced down before nodding.
I let go of the fan and placed on my mask. Then I grabbed my black jacket. I twisted the bottom of the fan and it turned back to normal. I placed them in my back pocket as my baton disappeared.
"Yeah. Ready for some last minute training?"
A small bark was my reply.
"Ushishi~ Where's your Snow Guardian? Was she afraid she might break a nail and ran away?" Belphegor taunted.
Tsuna began to fidget as Gokudera began to mutter some things.
"The battle will be held at the baseball field." One of the Cervello girls stated. Everyone walked towards the baseball and made Tsuna shriek in surprise at what he saw.
"I didn't know they remolded the field." Yamamoto laughed.
The baseball field had a metal plate curving over it making it look like a dome.
The Cervello led everyone inside. This too made the Tsuna's group surprised and may have pissed off Hibari who was a big distance away from the group.
The entire baseball field was covered in snow and trees.
"Where the hell is that woman?" Gokudera hissed looking back for Yukai. Tsuna began to worry as the Belphegor began to snicker.
"Goes to show that the Snow Guardian is useless, ne Mammon. Ushishi" He snickered. The illusionist glanced at him from his cage.
"Goes to show that the fake prince is stupid as well." A melodic voice growled out.
"HIEE!" Tsuna cried out as a girl appeared.
She had long black hair and light violet eyes. Belphegor's mouth began to twitch.
"You have two minutes for your Guardian to get here or you lose by default." Cervello number one stated. This made Tsuna to panic.
Where was his Guardian?
I stared at the baseball field amazed. I mean how can they do this within a night, or did they build it during the day but put an illusion.
"Oh well." I muttered walking in.
"You made it in time." One of the Cervello girls stated. Everyone turned to me except a girl with coat who had her back to me.
"What took you so long?" Gokudera yelled at me. I walked past him and turned to Tsuna.
"Gomen Tsuna-san I didn't intend to be late." I bowed down a little bit before the Cervello started to talk.
"This is the combat field for the Snow match: Snowimble(A/N:snow-m-bul) Dome"
"It's an obstacle field made specifically for the Snow match."
I glanced around. It was hard to see from the many trees.
"Each team is separated and they must reach the safety zones that are opposite from each other. Every member is able to attack each other or choose to go to the safety zone. This watch will tell you if anyone enters the safety zone." The Cervello placed the watch on me.
It was a normal looking watch except it had seven orange dots on the outer edge.
"This match has two goals. Protect you family and make sure they make it into the safety zone and require the Snow Ring."
I smirked to myself. This seemed a bit easy. My smirk fell and snow began to fall.
"Once the dome has reached a certain degree limit the dome itself will explode except the safety zone."
My mouth formed a frown.I turned to Tsuna and them.
"Don't bother fighting them. Reaching the safety zone is the first thing you should do." I ordered. Gokudera growled at me saying that it was Jyudiame's decision.
"Tsuna-san you don't like people to get hurt. I'll protect everyone as they try to reach the dugout. But are willing to follow through?"
Tsuna's eyes wandered to Lambo before nodding. A small scoff caught my attention. It was Hibari.
I walked towards him before leaning close.
"Ne if you follow through I'll fight you with everything I have okay Vampire-san." I jumped back narrowly missing the but of his tonfa. Hibari smirked at me.
"You owe me."
I grinned turning back to Tsuna.
"You have the cards right?" He nodded before clumsily going through his pockets. I grabbed them and handed them to everyone and had to say somethings to Hibari before he took it.
"Keep these with you at all time." I mumbled before walking away from them.
The Cervello soon disappeared as long with everyone else leaving me with the unnamed girl.
"The Snow Guardians, Yukai vs. Aurora. Battle begin!" The Cervello stated through an intercom. My eyes widen at the name.
The girl turned back with a devilish smirk on her face.
It was the same girl I ran into yesterday. The one that was interested in dancing like me.
Fate hates me, doesn't it?
*unseen beauty.
and I am ending it right there XD
Don't worry I'll begin the fight in the next chapter. My cousin was being a punk and wouldn't let me write so I rushed to do this! But it wasn't enough T.T
If any of you keep up with the manga I would like to say I was angry. If they have ice on there I'm going to cry! if I ever get that far, which I hope I do, i'll make something up and cover or something lol.
I might go on another vacation on the 19th until the 30th..but I'm not sure if it's going to be true. But I'll keep you updated!
Oh and if you ever going to be a dama in quince , let me tell you this, do NOT wear uncomfortable shoes and drinks lots of water XD It's very tiring. Well enough of my rambling.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter a little bit and please click the button that says reviews. =)
