CHAPTER 15- Tsuna's Life
It's been a month since I asked that question to the Arcobalenos and before they can answer that time, a butler knocked and said that it is time for the Arcobalenos to leave because they still have a lot of appointments. During that whole month the voice revealed as Sheila haven't talked to me. I focused my time on attending school once again after a long time. As usual the classroom bursted into shrieking when they saw me enter, I already told them about my identity as Tsuki.
Before homeroom started they gathered around me praising me for my previous concert and how they love all my songs. Everyone started to return to their seats when the teacher arrived and smiled when she saw me.
Well it's very rare for me to attend classes because of my job in the Vongola and my singing career, because the principal of the school is a member of the Vongola, I can just attend classes whenever I want but every time I had nothing to do or on a break I went to class.
The class president, Adel went to me during lunch break and told me that our class was assigned by the school to perform at the annual Vongola party that will be held at the mansion itself. She said that we are to dance and to sing in front of all the members of the Vongola. That's it; I'm doomed to be discovered as Tsuki. Adel told me that it's alright for me not to perform, but the Vongola members knew that Tsuki was in this class, they just don't know it's me.
For two whole weeks, I attended class like any normal student but at the third week because of my work as Tsuki, I was forced to be absent as usual. The teachers understands my situation and sometimes they just told me that it's okay to forget school for a while (well that's because I'm intelligent) and focus on work.
The week is so hectic because I have to record all my songs because a new album will be released next month. When I went home to the HQ all the talk was all about the upcoming Vongola Party and Tsuki's appearance in the said party.
It was five o'clock when I arrived there and I slept for two whole hours before waking up and coming downstairs for breakfast. In the breakfast table, the Vongola Boss and his Guardians, the Arceo, the Generals plus Ira, and the Arcobaleno are already sitting. As usual I sat at the left side of Giotto and started to eat my meal.
"Giotto-nii is it really true that Tsuki will be here?", an excited Laela asked Giotto who just gave a smile in return.
"Well it's still not final if she will come but her class accepted the invitation already", Giotto said.
"Tsuna-nee aren't you and Tsuki in the same school and if I recall you are in class 3-A which is also Tsuki's class", Laela said. I had to fight the urge to slam my head on the table. 'Oh Laela why are you a stalker of Tsuki'
"Yeah, we are classmates...but she rarely attends class and I sometimes leave class because of Arceo work", I half said the truth and half lied...good thing I learned from Reborn-nii. In this way Giotto will not suspect that I am lying through his hyper intuition.
"Really then will you get her autograph for me?"Laela said with some stars in her eyes and I have no choice but to accept.
"Why ask from her, to tell you the truth Laela, Tsuki and I are very close friends", Ira declared and that made me choke in surprise and Hayate had to offer water on me.
"Really? Say Ira is her hair really brown and what are the colors of her eyes?"Laela asked. Poor Laela not knowing that Ira was lying at her. And really she is in good relations with me?
"Well her hair is really black and her eyes are color black too", and for the second time I choked on my food and Hayate had to offer me water again.
"Hime-sama, are you alright?"Hayate worriedly asked and before I can answer it was Luce-nee who answered Hayate.
"Don't worry Hayate, Tsuna's okay she's just quite shocked", Luce-nee said and her statement made me blush
"To tell you the truth...", Ira continued. "I even know her manager and we chat sometimes".
This time it was Luce-nee who choked on her food and Reborn-nii offered her some water. I have had enough of Ira's lies and I did the thing that even the Arcobalenos never expected. I laugh...
"What's so funny Sky Protector?" Ira asked and I replied between laughs.
"It's just...laugh...that...laugh...I am...laugh...amazed by the fact...laugh...that you can lie directly...laugh... on someone's face...laugh" by the end of my sentence I was clutching my stomach because of laughter.
"How did you know I was lying...oops", Ira accidentally spilled and that made Laela cry.
"How could you like to me stupid Ira", Laela said and startled to emit crackling green lightning flames.
As the Sky Protector, my duty is to make sure that no one will get harmed so I approach Laela and told her the words that I know I will regret saying.
"Don't worry Laela I will make sure that Tsuki will attend the Vongola Party", that had an effect and the lightning flames disappeared.
"Really, Tsuna-nee you'll ask Tsuki to come here?"
"Yup...and I will even ask her to sing your favourite song"
Laela gave me a big smile and went back to her sit, I looked at the Arcobalenos and they just gave me a 'are you sure?' look. I just smiled at them and went to sit down.
"I'm glad though...It's been three years since we heard you laugh like that Tsuna", Reborn-nii pointed out and I froze.
"You mean Hime-sama barely smiled and laugh", Hayate said which made me cover my eyes with my bangs again.
"But if I remember well, Tsuna is an energetic and lively kid when she was young like 4 years ago", Takeshi said and frowned not believing what he heard.
"But sometimes I see her smile and chuckle", Rhea said.
"You mean half-heartedly, she been doing that for years so that no one will worry about her", Skull-nii answered.
"Sorry...for making you all worry for these three years", I whispered. "But really I'm just alright, and will always be alright". After I said that I gave them all a smile, a smile coming from my heart with tears in my eyes.
"Sorry everyone", I said once again and hurriedly left the dining room ignoring the calls from the others. How come I always escape when I am crying?
I ran to the gardens this time towards the fountain and softly cried there not knowing that I was slowly covered with orange light and in a blink of an eye, I disappeared.
When I woke up I was in the room where I first met Sheila. But this time she was not there, nor the other seven flames. I walked around the room and saw a lot of portraits, on some portraits there is a picture of a group of 8, 5 boys and 3 girls, in the center of the group was a man who looked a lot like Giotto.
"So this is the First Generation Family", I whispered. I looked at the next portrait and what I saw made me surprised in the picture is also a group of 8, 5 girls and 3 boys. In the middle was the lady who looked a lot like me, Sheila di Cielo. The First Arceo looked a lot like us. I can't help but think about reincarnation again. I looked around the room and the same 16 people are featured. There are pictures with them in pairs.
A picture of Aeris with Sheila, a picture of Strale and Akari, a picture of Aoi and Heijin, a picture of Fresco with Hikari, a picture of Prece with Midori, a picture of Kouki and Shoku, a picture of Airo and Dafne, and lastly a picture of Orfeo Spade with Freeza. The pictures seemed to express that the pairings are lovers.
I applied the same pairing to our generation- Giotto and me, G with Hayate, Takeshi with Arisa, Lampo with Rhea, Knuckles with Laela, Kyoya with Chrome, Mukuro and Viole, and lastly Daemon with Elena. It just fits not on me and Giotto's part though. I know that however I wished it to happen we can never be together again.
Of course, Kyoya and Chrome are already a couple as well as Daemon and Elena, but that's just all. I wonder if the pictures are telling me something. In the center of the wall however is the picture of all 16 people together, Aeris and Sheila are sitting in the center and standing beside them are the other Guardians and Protectors.
Under the picture is a glass box holding 8 rings, 7 are each designed with a single gem colored namely with red, blue, green, yellow, violet, apricot, and indigo. The big gems are placed at the center of the ring shaped like a shield with an Arceo printed on it. The gem is placed on top of a simple silver ring designed with small diamonds. The eighth ring was different from the others; it is circular in shape with an orange gem in the center surrounded with the same colors the 7 rings possessed. Below the gem is the word Arceo. The ring that holds the gem is also silver in color. At the side of all the rings is a pair of wings colored with silver.
'I see you've found the Arceo Rings', Sheila appeared and smiled at me.
"These are the Arceo rings?" I asked and that made Sheila chuckle.
'The Arceo is complete; the time to accept the rings had finally come. Soon, the rings will be unsealed and the Arceo will regain the powers of the rings' Sheila said and disappeared again but before she completely disappeared she said the words that answered the questions I've wanted to ask for the past month.
'As Aeris is to Giotto, then I am to you. I am you and you are me. We are the same though in different times. Yes, you are my reincarnation, Tsunayuki Sawada or should I say Tsunayuki Sheila di Cielo'
