Chapter 4 (Vongola Guardians)

Domo! Peaps! Kind of sad actually! I saw the chart for this story. Not much have read or seen this story in this month.

I hope more people will read this story.

Anyway busy week! I have Final Exam on Monday and National Food Showdown Competition on Tuesday. Very busy week.

I should be studying and practicing but tooooo lazy to do it.

Enjoy the chapter!

Kaito rushes up the stairs to where Shinichi is, still passed out. Oh, god, there's nothing else to do. I'll have to dress him and hope he wakes up soon. At least he got the suit out ready.

(KAITO'S MIND)

Another deep breath, and he's standing before the painting. He pushes against the image of himself, and the picture twirls like a dancer, before stopping elegantly at the image of a magician. Once quick step and he enters the room of the magician. Ducking under exploding streams of confetti, and dodging bouncing balls, Kaito ends up next to the Magician. The Magician turns and bows to him. "Heya, I need a quick favour. I need you to do a Quick Change Act for me. I need Shinichi in his suit ASAP. The driver is here to pick us up, but he's still unconscious."

"Oh, yes 1412 told me about what happened. Don't worry, the show must go on and all that. And what type of magician would I be if I let the show stop. The audience Must never know anything has gone wrong." Both say at once. "I know, I know. Anyway, thanks for this. Let the magic begin!"

Turning around, Kaito finishes off the Magician sentence before falling backwards and telling the magician off. Just before he touches the waiting arms of the Magician, he recites the transfer phrase.

Giggling, the Magician opens his eyes. He rubs his hands together, looking like a gleeful yet mischievous child. "Oh, what shall I do? I could: dress him up like a woman; I could give him bunny ears; I could give him green hair, or maybe blue to match his eyes." sings the magician. He walks around the sleeping Shinichi examining all of the prospects. A sharp tug on the connection warns him of a telling off, so the Magician sighs, and complies with Kaito's wishes. "One, two, three" upon three the Magician drops a smoke capsule, of non-transferable purple smoke. By the time the smoke has cleared less than half a minute later, Shinichi is fully clothed, and a very pleased Magician standing by his side, holding Shinichi's hand. "Kaito look at these fingers. I'll bet that they'd be good for magic. Do you think we could get him on stage with me one day? Oh, can you imagine pranking him. His face would be so funny. Ouch that hurt Kaito. Okay, okay I'll back off. Aren't you the jealous one, first 1412 and now me. What are you, his boyfriend? OUCH, Kaito I'm going I'm going, sheesh, lighten up will you."

(KAITO'S MIND)

Closing his eyes, he's met with a fuming Kaito. "If I wasn't in such a rush, you would be so dead right now. But I am taking your jacket hostage, including any props, pockets, and roses you have in it. You can practice your magic tricks without it." With a click of his fingers the jacket is gone from the Magician. With a childish pout on his lips, the magician turns on his heels and falls backwards. "Fine, take the jacket then. Let real life begin already. The sooner you're out of here the better." The last thing Kaito sees is the magician pulling down his eyelid and sticking out his tongue. "Oh, that magician, and 1412 encouraging it too." Growls Kaito upon reopening his eyes.

Looking down, he noticed that the Magician also changed his clothes into KID's outfit, minus the top hat, cape and monocle. He gently picks Shinichi up, noticing that his breathing has evened out and his temperature has returned to normal. Then Shinichi stirred and slowly opened his eyes, "Kaito?"

Kaito looks down at Shinichi, smiling as a blush covers the detective's face- he's just realised where he is. Immediately he sits up, nearly knocking Kaito out with a head-butt along the way. "Shinichi! You're awake. I thought that you were going to sleep forever." Yells Kaito excitedly.

"Yeah, well that transformation was the worst yet. Since I've been building up a resistance, transforming has been more painful each time. How long was I out?" Shinichi asks, rubbing his head to get rid of the headache.

"No time to explain! The Mafioso is here! We need to go now!" Kaito shouts as he pulls Shinich toward the stairs. "Woooh, Kaito, slow down!" Shinichi shouts as he was being dragged off by his childhood friend.

Carefully, Kaito and Shinichi descends the steps, then Kaito sticks his head into the living room. The Mafioso hasn't moved from the spot Kaito left him at. "We're ready to go." The man stands up, and walks through the door. He raises his eyebrow at Kaito carefully picking up a bag. The bag was full of gadgets themselves are well made, he doesn't want one of them to go off. It would be great if they darted the driver now. The driver opens the door, and holds it as Kaito and Shinichi walks out. Once the door is shut again, Shinichi take the key out of his pocket. He had noticed it earlier and picked it up before they left. With the door finally locked, they walked toward the elevator.

As soon as they entered the elevator, the Mafioso lit his ring with a Dying Will Flame. He put his lit ring into a hole located at the bottom of the buttons. As soon as the he removed the ring a secret compartment opened that showed more buttons. He pressed the last bottom button. The elevator descended down to the bottom floor. The door opens and kept the door opened, "I'm sorry sirs, but I am not allowed to go on from here. From here you are on your own but not to worry it is a one way path. Please go to the room at the end of this hall, it isn't hard to miss, it is a room with the biggest door in this floor."

Kaito turns toward to Mafioso, "Thank you." Shinichi nods in gratitude. The Mafioso bowed as Kaito and Shinichi leaves the elevator. They walked toward the room that was at the end of the hall. The hall was all white and it was military-base like but more clean and organized. (Kind of like how the base looks like when Tsuna and the other went to the Future)At the end of the hall they see a huge door that was beautifully decorated with the Vongola Crest and sees a butler opening the door for them. "Young master Tsunayoshi is waiting for you. If you would be so kind as to follow me." He says bowing to the pair until they entered the door.

Shinichi and Kaito follows the butler enters the door, the door didn't lead them to a room but a corridor. As they look around they notice how expensive everything is. All of the furniture looks antique. Shinichi steps closer to Kaito, feeling out of place here. They follow the butler through a few corridors, before arriving infront of some doors. Those doors open to reveal another elevator. All three step inside, and wait as the elevator descends.

They walk along a few corridors before coming to a familiar one- the one full of paintings. "Do you like these portraits? They are of previous Vongola Bosses. This one here is the Ninth- the current Boss. He lives in Italy though. And this one here is Vongola Primo. Out of all of the bosses, Young Master Tsunayoshi most resembles Primo. All of his guardians are like more lively versions of the first generation. That's why we have high hopes for them. They, more than anyone else so far, will be able to return Vongola to Primo's original design." There is hope in the butler's eyes as he is saying this.

They reach the door, and the butler knocks politely before entering the office. "Sir, they have arrived." He bows before the door, motioning for them to enter. They walk inside, and the door closes behind them. In front of them Tsuna is furiously signing paperwork. "Heeii, there is so much. I don't have a clue where all of it comes from." Shouts Tsuna, in a flurry. He turns and clicks on a laptop a few times, makes a confused face, and clicks a few more times, before looking down at the paper before him. "Arrg! This is wrong! Wait a second guys. I've just got a call to make and then we can go." He picks up the receiver from the telephone on his desk, before dialing a number on speed dial.

"Do you want us to leave the room?" Kaito asks, wondering if they should be hearing this. Tsuna just shakes his head and motions for them to sit down on a sofa behind them. That wasn't there before. It must have been buried under piles of paper. In fact there seems to be a lot less paper than last time. Maybe Tsuna was having a sort through? Wonders Kaito, noticing that a table and the legs of another sofa have appeared.

"Yes Artemis? It's Decimo. I've noticed that there are some discrepancies between file SE4242 and DE5604. Yes, those numbers don't match up. According to the file that I have here the total amount spent should be £452,100 for the first with that figure being taken across into the other one. … Okay, I understand… You'll take it off my hands?... Thank you. Okay Ciao." He puts the phone down before sighing and taking a large gulp of his coffee. Frowning at the taste- it's gone cold- he looks over to the pair. "It's nice to finally meet you Kudo-san. In your right body I mean. Not that I didn't like you as Conan! But I'm not saying I don't like you now, but you're more serious now, not that Conan wasn't serious too." Tsuna blathers speedily, trying to cover his mistake.

Kaito laughs at the stumbling mess Tsuna has become. "Tsuna, it's fine. I know what you mean. It's nice to be back in this body, however temporary." Shinichi smiles at Tsuna, the smile turning sad as he thinks about returning to his smaller body. "And please, call me Shinichi." "And call me Kaito" adds in the magician.

"Okay. Anyway, I'm glad that you two came. Gokudera wasn't too sure, but my hyper intuition said that you would be back. Are you ready to go?" Tsuna asks, walking towards the door. "Hyper intuition?" Kaito asks as they walk out of the door. "It's an ability from my Vongola blood. It's what told me when you were lying. It's like a very active gut feeling that is always right, when I listen to it. It was my intuition shouting at me that made me tell you the truth about the mafia. My intuition also told me to go to the KID heist and save you two." Tsuna answers rubbing the back of his neck.

They stop in front of another door, and Tsuna turns serious. The atmosphere in the hallway turns solemn, and Shinichi and Kaito straighten up. "When you enter here, stay standing in the doorway until the formal bit is over. Don't say anything either. You'll be able to tell when you can again. And I'll warn you again, my Guardians are quite a bunch of people, a little eccentric maybe, but they are my family and I love them all." Both Shinichi and Kaito can see the love in the softening of Tsuna's eyes and the nostalgic smile he wears. Tsuna turns to look at them straight on, and stares them both in the eye. "You know, after entering this room there is no turning back. You'll hear things you don't want to know about, things that will change you for ever. Are you sure that this is what you want?" Tsuna asks his eyes more serious than either Kaito or Shinichi had ever seen before from the teen in front of them.

Kaito turns to look at Shinichi. I really don't want Shinichi to become part of the underworld, but after the things he has been through, what right do I have to stop Shinichi. Shinichi turns to Kaito, eyes steadfast, showing he was ready for the consequences that were to follow. Kaito grabs Shinichi's hand and gives it reassuring squeeze. I'll be here, right by your side through it all. Both look at Tsuna and nod.

Tsuna looks both of them in the eye, his hyper intuition telling him that this was the right thing to do. He simply nods and opens the large wooden doors to the Official meeting room, light pouring into the dark hallway. Vongola Decimo walked into the room. Kaito and Shinichi, being informed beforehand what to do, stop in the doorway, backs straight, and watch the proceedings.

Inside was an old mahogany table, with large matching chairs on both sides, and a throne like one at the head of the table. Each chair was a different colour, with the fabric of the throne at the top being orange in colour, like the one in Tsuna's office. Sitting in the chairs were 6 people, all in tailored black suits with different coloured shirts, matching the colour of the chair they were sat on.

Shinichi looks at the people before him, and freezes. I know him, he's alive then. Maybe the others are too. But what's he doing here? But Tsuna told him not to do anything during the formal part.

Decimo takes another step into the room and stops. As one the Guardians all stand up, take a large step to the side and kneel, right hand over their hearts, heads bowed.

"Rise Guardian of Cloud, The one who goes their own way" Juudaime intones. Hibari looks up, and then stands respectfully by his seat. Juudaime looks to his left.

"Rise Guardian of Lightning, The one who harshly strikes everything". Lambo raises his head and quickly stands, fidgeting where he stands. Juudaime looks to the middle right.

"Rise Guardian of the Sun, The one who illuminates all" Ryohei practically jumps into the air and stands tall. Decimo looks to the middle left.

"Rise Guardian of Mist, The one that cannot be captured." Mukruo looks up, and slowly rises, taking his time. Once he was done, standing proudly with his chin raised, Juudaime looks at the top right.

"Rise Guardian of Rain, The one who washes away everything." Yamamoto slowly looks up, and gracefully rises to his feet. Finally Juudaime looks at the top left.

"Rise Guardian of Storm, The one that fiercely blows everything away." Gokudera immediately looks up and rises to his feet.

"Sit, Vongola Decimo, Guardian of the Sky, who encompasses all." Say all the others at once. Vongola Decimo walks to the throne and sits.

"Sit Guardians of Vongola, who protect us all" orders Juudaime. At the same time, they all take a step to the side and sit down.
