CHAPTER 2- To the Vongola Headquarters
Even though I know the existence of the Vongola family, my adoptive father is a high general, and I am living with the Arcobaleno I never knew the names and saw the faces of the highest ranking members of the Vongola- namely the Vongola Boss and his 7 guardians. The Vongola family is on its tenth generation reign after Vongola Nono retired from the position and gave the throne as the Vongola Decimo to his grandson who is now the Vongola Boss.
According to everyone (the workers and maids in the Vongola HQ) the Vongola Boss and guardians are very handsome and beautiful and are very kind and caring. They are very merciful even to their enemies and provides help to everyone.
Like the Arcobalenos, the Vongola Guardians are named by their respective flame element. Flames or Dying Will Flames are not ordinary flames. They are super-condensed flames which only a few selected people with a pure resolve can emit. All in all they are eight known flames and each guardian has its own element. Dying Will Flames are very destructive and powerful flames that even a small flame can destroy an entire town. Thankfully the Vongola family whose guardians can emit these flames use these for the good of all.
First of all the Vongola Boss is the holder of the Sky Vongola Ring. The Sky holder is the most powerful of the group and can emit all eight flames. The Sky Vongola Guardian shows the characteristic of harmony to maintain the balance. As the Sky, he is the one that colors and engulfs everything. According to the people, the Vongola Decimo is a perfect man- soul, body, and heart.
The right-hand man and the best friend of the Sky Ring holder is always the Storm Ring Holder. Like the storm he is the one that fiercely blows everything. The Storm Guardian has the characteristic of disintegration and is always on the front offensive side ready to eliminate any threat that comes near the Sky.
The left-hand man of each generation is always the Rain Ring Holder. She, like the rain washes away everything and calms the Sky. The Rain Guardian has the characteristic of tranquillity. Whenever the Sky is troubled, she turns from a gentle rain to a ferocious rainstorm.
The Sun Ring holder is the healer or medic of the group. Like the sun, he illuminates and brightens the life of the Sky. The Sun Guardian has the characteristic of activation and always faces things in an optimistic view.
The Lightning Ring Holder is the shield of the group. Like lightning, he is the one that harshly strikes everything. The Lightning Guardian has the characteristic of hardening and serves as the lightning rod of the Sky.
The Cloud Ring Holder is the silent protector of the group. Like the cloud, she is always floating on her own ways following only her own will. The Cloud Guardian has the characteristic of propagation and protects the Sky from afar using her own methods.
The Mist Ring Holder is the manipulator of the group. Like the mist, he is one that can never be captured. The Mist Guardian has the characteristic of construction and manipulates the destruction of all the threats facing the Sky.
The Snow Ring Holder serves as the lookout for the team. Like the snow, she is unpredictable and easily changes. The Snow Guardian has the characteristic of formation and can turn from a smiling happy snow to a dark blizzard whenever the Sky is in danger.
"We're going now", I waved at the six other people still seating on the breakfast table and went with Reborn-nii outside and went inside his sleek black Lexus.
"Reborn-nii, what do the Vongola Boss and Guardians look like", I curiously ask. I am a member of the Vongola Famiglia yet I think I am the only family member who never saw their faces.
"Don't worry you'll see them personally soon. From now on you will have to stay in the Vongola HQ", Reborn-nii said and looked at me. "You'll be there to be the representative of the Arcobalenos. It's like you're a secretary for us".
"Why me? I want to stay home, I still have a job and I still go to school", I said and pleadingly looked at my older brother figure hoping he will let me out of the hook.
"I'm sorry Tsuna as much as I know you are busy, we all agreed on this matter already", Reborn said. "We're here".
"What? But we're like in a forest..." my eyes widened when I saw the surroundings. How freakingly rich is the Vongola? The forest was separated by a road obviously made from the richest of stones. Flowers of different colors and kinds were decorated on each side. Long white pillars decorated with vines stand as the lamp post in the area. After a 10 minute fast drive on the forest what I saw made me stopped breathing.
Standing magnificently at the center is an eight story mansion but all the basement levels don't still count. The mansion had a cream exterior and blue roof. The mansion or castle is so huge that I think it would take me months to familiarize the whole area not including its backyard and secret passages.
"Wow..",it's all I can say as I tried to remember everything I'm seeing. Reborn-nii just chuckled at my naivety and continued to drive at the front lounge. At the center of what it seems like a grand courtyard is a large fountain sprouting water with 8 colors. Just the fountain alone would cost me a year's worth of expenses.
"Well, this would be your second home...however even though the Vongola guardians encouraged us to let you stay in, Luce won't budge saying that she needs to see you every day. You know how protective she can be", Reborn said as the two of us get off from his car and entered to the heavenly gates. I wonder how much the door costs too. Being here in the mansion I can't help but be curious in how much money the Vongola has...infinity amount perhaps?
Before I can even open the door, a butler wearing an expensive tuxedo (even the servants are dressed well) opened the door and welcomed us.
"Good morning, Lord Reborn and Lady Yuki we are expecting you. The masters would have wanted to meet you but their schedules are loaded for the whole week. Lord Reborn the Tenth wanted to see you at his office", the butler said and gave us a sympathetic smile.
"All right thank you William, I'll leave Tsuna in your care alright and please guide her to her office", Reborn said and before leaving he ruffled my hair making it quite messy. "I'll be seeing you at 6 PM then".
