CHAPTER 25- Hayate and G's Past
When I woke up I was in the room where I first met Sheila. This time the room was glowing with all the eight flames and the person who appeared is not only Sheila but also Akari.
"Cielo Secondo...",Akari said and I gave her a curious look. "You are the Second Sky Protector that's why I'll call you Cielo Secondo"
"Ah I see...can I ask for the reason why I am teleported here again?" I asked them and they both gave an amused look.
"We're sorry then for interrupting the induction ceremony, but you have to know something", Sheila said and gave me a sad smile. "Do you know why you were in pain when you touched your Storm's arm?"
"I...don't...know", I whispered and they both gave me a knowing smile.
"To sum up everything, the Storm Protector's induction can't happen so that means the Sky Protector induction can't happen to", Sheila continued.
"There is something wrong and bothering your Storm Protector, Hayate that is why at her condition it is not possible to induct her and for your induction, all of the other Protectors must be inducted before you can have yours", Akari explained.
"Are you saying that something is wrong with Hayate now?" I asked and Sheila gave me the response.
"It seems that she had a past with the current Storm Guardian, G. To fully unseal the power of the Storm Arceo Ring, both parties must have mutual feelings. In their case G is very reluctant to give the position of Storm Protector to Hayate"
"What should I do then?" I asked and both smiled and slowly disappeared.
"Uncover the truth about their past and make G accept Hayate in the group", both said and with that I woke up and recovered and saw myself in the arms of Takeshi with the others in front and behind me.
"Tsuna? Are you alright?" Takeshi-nii asked me and I slowly got up it's as if the pain earlier didn't happen.
"Okay, she's fine so let's continue the induction now", a bored Ira said and G gave a gasp.
"What? Is something wrong Gabrielle?", my Mom asked G and he gave him a nervous look.
"Mama Sherry, the Storm Arceo Ring I was holding earlier, it disappeared together with the box that still has the Sky Arceo Ring", G explained and Mom had a horrified expression on her face.
"What do you mean it disappeared, Gabrielle explain now!" my Mom said and G nervously touched some locks of his hair.
"I don't know I'm sure I was holding it but when Tsuna here collapse, it quickly disappeared", G reasoned out.
My Mom told everyone to search the grounds and I decided to speak up.
"The remaining Arceo Rings are not lost, they just disappeared", I said and everyone looked at me.
"What do you mean Tsuna?" my Mom asked and I gave them a sad smile.
"It's still not the right time for the induction of the Storm Protector and for the Sky Protector, all of the Protectors must be inducted before her turn", I explained and looked at Hayate.
"Hayate, I would like to have a long chat with you if you don't mind. Mom please continue eating your lunch and this also applies to the others. We'll excuse ourselves then", I said and held Hayate's hand and made my way to my room where we can have a talk.
When we entered my room and I closed the door and erected a Mist barrier so that no one would hear our conversation, I looked at Hayate straight in her eyes.
"Hayate, would you tell me, what happened with you and G in the past", I said and this made Hayate widen her eyes.
"Hime-sama how...why did you know?" Hayate said and lowered her head.
"It doesn't matter. Tell me Hayate...what happened between you and G?"
"Alright, I'll tell you everything Hime-sama", Hayate said and looked at me. "This happened two years ago"
"Two years ago, I confessed my feelings to G. Two years ago I told him that I love him", Hayate said and started to cry. "And two years ago, he rejected my confession"
"Why did you think he rejected you?" I asked Hayate and she gave me a shrug in the shoulders.
"I don't know but you see Hime-sama I love him so much that I decided to train and aim to be part of the Arceo. I grew up in the mafia and like you was the heir of an allied family to the Vongola, but because I love G I decided to give up my seat and be part of the Arceo. All the Vongola Guardians and Arceo members are heirs to allied mafia families but they decided to join the Vongola. When the heir of the family refuses to accept the position, the management of the family will be forwarded to the Boss of the Main Family of the Alliance, which is the Vongola", Hayate explained and I offered her a glass of water to help her calm down.
"When he found out that I joined the Arceo, he just laughed at me and told me that I will never be an official Protector and if I become one he will never accept me. For those years whatever I do he will never look at me, so I decided to act like I had moved on and hate him", Hayate said and finished the story.
"So the bottom line is that you love him, but he don't love you", I asked her and she nodded in reply. I deeply sighed and tried to devise ways to help the two of them...but it's hopeless. I am a failure in my own love life so what can I do to help the two to be together or even just let G accept Hayate in the team.
Seconds turned to minutes and during that time Hayate was busy drying her tears with a handkerchief. Suddenly a brilliant idea came to my mind.
"Don't worry Hayate; I'll make G accept you as part of the Arceo"
"Hime-sama what are you planning to do?" Hayate asked me and I just gave her a smile.
"Rest assured Hayate. I'll do everything in my power", I said and left out of the room and told Hayate to take a rest for now.
While on the hallway I asked some maids where the others are and they replied that they are going to the training room.
"Good timing", I thought and ran towards the training room and stopped near the door to regain my even breathing. I opened the door and it was Mom who asked me a question first.
"Where were you Tsuna, and where is Hayate?"
"Don't worry Mom we just went to my room and I had a talk with her. She's resting in her room now", I replied and tried to locate my target who was grouped with the other Guardians.
"Target spotted. Time to commence the plan", I mentally said and walked to their direction. Giotto and the other Guardians noticed my presence but I ignored their curious looks and tapped G at his shoulder.
"Is there anything you want Sky Protector?" G asked with a scowl on his face which I didn't mind and looked at him straight on the eyes.
"I request for a battle with you Tenth Generation Storm Guardian of the Vongola, Gabrielle Rosso"
