She was lying to me. She had to be or I was dreaming. Yeah that could be it, I passed out and am having an odd dream. Maybe this is some twisted way of what lies deep into my mind. But wouldn't that mean deep down that I like Tsuna more than a friend? That my own subconscious has to question me about it to try to show me what I feel. Then…then…I like him…like like him. That could explain why I have been acting a bit weirdly around him, but that can be explained in some other way! I swear she has to be lying to me.
"Ne, how long are going to be confused over this? You're bleeding onto my jacket." Akane deadpanned fixing her grip on Rio. I mumbled a soft apology and let my arms loosen a bit from her waist. The feeling of my body had finally come back giving me back my movement.
"Geez, you've been like that since I told you, that you told him you loved him. Finally realize you like the runt? How long did it take you, hmm…" She gave a fake thoughtful look. "About nine, ten years? Emotions hidden like that, tend to get in the way. An example," she tensed up a bit, "Orphan. Gave it all up for some guy that you had a childhood crush on – no a guy that you were in love with. No not were, are in love with."
"SHUT UP!" I screamed a bit angrily. "I don't like him! I never did like him! And I left Orphan, because what we were doing was wrong! We were no better than them and we were supposed to stop after we killed Reina's killer!"
"Chill out. Too defensive, another point in how much you like him. Ah, i forgot how cute you and him when it came to denying about your feelings. But be careful, you deny it too long and else someone'll snatch him away." She advised me. I felt my face get red and the need to hit her, became increasingly stronger.
An silence engulfed us and I looked back to check back on Annerie. We had only gone one foot for a while before Akane had became tired and from there we rode on Rio, but the whole time she still hadn't shown any signs of waking up.
A soft sigh escaped my lips and my eyes wandered back to the empty space where Akane's arm should have been. I wanted to know how it happened. What I did or what I could do. Was there something else, another meaning, to the snow flame? There couldn't be right? But then again, I am only the second person to ever use this ring, because it chooses its' own user, so could there be something that had been lost through the generations of the Vongola?
"H-How did I do that?" I asked. "Freezing your arm, I mean."
"Ah, that's right you don't know." She said after a small pause. "The characteristic of the snow flame, is to be the icy blanket that covers and protects the family's tracks right? Well, see there's a deeper meaning when it comes to that."
There was more to it than what we already know? Then, why is there only that fact and not the other? Did it somehow become lost from generation to generation? Or maybe someone had hidden it from the others just like how the ring was hidden from the mafia world until the Varia had stolen it.
"The reason why the snow flame has never been brought up to now isn't because it chooses the user. No, it's because Primo himself deemed it too dangerous for someone to use. The first and last owner, until you, was Fuyuko. She hated men like you hated the mafia. It was the time when Geishas were at their prime. She was one of the best, but at night she would kill the men that would take advantage of them. No one really knew how her grudge came to be." She paused trying to think of what next to say. I nudged her lightly, urging her to go on.
"One day, she met Primo as her Danna had business with him. However, during the time she was with them, her Danna kept grabbing her and when the Primo wasn't paying attention he would tell her some things. Later that night, as he Danna took her home, he tried to take advantage of her not knowing who she was. They fought but he was too strong, but before he could do anything Primo appeared. He saved her life, and the next day he disappeared before she could even repay the favor, as much as she hated the idea."
"What does this have to do with the snow flame?" I cut in a bit impatient about why Primo had declared that snow ring was too dangerous for anyone to use.
"I'm getting there." Akane snapped. Ah, I forgot how she hated being interrupted. "When she joined the Vongola as Primo's first Snow Guardian, there were two characteristics. One you already know, the second one however is immobilization."
"Immobilization?" I repeated softly.
"Hai. The icy blanket that covers and protects the family's track as it immobilizes the enemy. Meaning with your flame alone, you could immobilize your opponent's flame buying your family time to escape. The price however, is the reason why it's dangerous. You yourself have your flame consume you as well. The flame is a double-edged sword. That's why when you froze my arm and Riku you couldn't move afterwards. That is what killed Fuyuko as she protected the ones she loved."
No words escaped my mouth. There was a chance that this could kill me? But then again, I already knew there was that chance. Ever since that training with Alba in the cliff, and when Ryohei had healed me. That's why it had acted so weird. That's why when I first did that attack she looked at me so sad. It was because there was that one chance that I went too far and killed myself.
Though, it does explain how my attack had worked. Finally I have the answers to some of my questions! Even though they were worse than what I had originally thought. This was a new turn of events.
My body began to shake lightly. I bit my lip softly so as to not let out a single sound. Who knew that my life would turn out like this?
"Are you scared?" Akane asked mockingly.
"Iie," the laugh I had been holding in escaped, "I'm getting excited. That's why I'm going to give it my all now." I glanced down and stared at my Snow ring.
"Hmph." Aurora glared at me and crossed her arms. I stared back at her and shifted slightly on my bed. It was a bit odd seeing her here in my hospital room.
"I lost to a weakling like you?" She asked a bit aggravated. I only shrugged my shoulders, which added on to her annoyance.
"What did you want?" I asked taking the covers off. I turned and let my feet hang off the bed as I stared out through the window. "You didn't come to give a heartfelt goodbye did you?"
"Don't even dream about it brat." She spat out. "Just giving you a warning that next time we fight I'm winning. Don't think your precious dog or tricks could save you from me."
"Couldn't if I tried." I gave her a sheepish grin. She only smirked in reply.
"Don't lose to anyone else. I'm going to be the one to finish out tied battle. By the way, don't let emotions get in your way. I thought someone in your profession would know that much."
"Eh?"
"Whatever. It was a good fight though, I got excited." She admitted. "You know the battle is great when you get excited over nothing."
"You're weird."
"NANI? I'll get you back for that Zurui!" She threw a glare at me before blocking my view of the window.
"Next time, it'll be a dance competition. Don't worry I'll give you a break." She grinned at me before jumping out the window. My jaw dropped a bit as I ran towards to the window. However she was nowhere to be seen. On the windowsill however, was the complete Snow ringI smiled a bit and put it on. \
I smiled a bit and put it on. "I'll be looking forward to it."
Another laugh escaped my lips.
I'm crazy. I'm really crazy. I mean look at the situation me and my family are in and here I am laughing. I'm giggling like a little school girl with a crush. I have issues.
"Don't be so loud my head hurts." A voice from behind me said. I jumped up but managed to still stay on Rio. I whipped my head back and almost, almost hugged Annerie.
"About damn time you woke up." Akane said.
"What the hell?" She grabbed my head and pulled it back to where I could see her. "WHY THE HELL ARE WE WITH HER!"
"Shut up! It was hard enough to find out where we were going because Irie decided to play puzzle maker with the whole damn building. If it wasn't for Ro downloading some private files we would be lost. But with your loud mouth, we might as well go and have tea with Irie."
An anime vein appeared on Annerie's head. My eyes widen. This was going to be bad. Especially since I'm in the middle and I'll receive her death glares from the back and Akane….oh I don't even want to go there.
"She's helping me Annerie." I cut in. "We could really use someone like her you know."
"She's the enemy!" She screeched before wincing. I turned my body when she let go of my head and placed my hand on her arm.
"So was I and they gave me a chance. She deserves the same."
Annerie looked away from me. A sigh escaped my lips. This was going to be a long ride our final destination. Hopefully, I could make it back in one piece and the same goes for these two.
My mind wandered to Tsuna and I looked back worriedly. I really hope he is okay and that he'll be there when we arrive to the research room. Or at least show up in once piece. But why am I worrying? He could take care of himself. He's not the same old Dame-Tsuna I used to know. Though with that in mind, why is my stomach keep twisting and turning?
Can You Hear My Heart? Trailer:
"Another fiancé Ranma!" Akane screamed slamming her hands onto the table. I tilted my head to side not getting what she meant. First off, Ranma wasn't even here, secondly I wasn't his fiancé.
I combed my light green hair before looking back at the white duck that slept on my pillow. A smile formed on my face as I placed my brush down. Nerima was just as odd as Ranma had described to me, but staying here, my life wouldn't be as dull anymore. It would be more exciting than staying with the circus.
"Shampoo, my love!" The guy hugged me sending shivers down my spine. Anger began to fuel me as I wrapped my arms around him in a tight grip. How dare this impudent man touch me! Men are the worst, and this man is surely an enemy of all women!
"Ah, he did it now." Ramna said, as Ryoga jumped off of me. "Keikan hates men and when one touches her she goes crazy."
I glared at the delivery guy before me. It was the same creep that had hugged me the other day calling me bamboo or something like that! How dare he show his face in front of me! He'll pay for this! But after I eat and pay him for the food that is.
