CHAPTER 26- Acceptance in the Family
Everyone in the room looked at me after I said those words and even G looked at me with wide eyes.
"Did I just hear that you are requesting a battle from me?" G asked and I didn't took off my eyes at him.
"I'm serious and this is not a joke", I replied and by this time everyone has gathered around us.
"Tsuna, is there something you want from G to ask for a fight?" Knuckles asked me and I directly replied.
"Yes, I do have a motive for this. If I win this battle...you will accept Hayate as the Storm Protector of the Arceo", I said and G retorted.
"And what will the consequence be if I win the fight?" G asked and I gave him a sad smile.
"If you win the fight...then I'll resign as the Sky Protector, cut my ties from the Vongola, and disappear from everyone sights or if you want you can kill me"
"You're serious? You're willing to risk your title and life for your subordinate?" G asked me.
"If I'm going to be the Arceo head or the Boss then I have to protect the others and be willing to risk my life if anything happens right?" I replied.
"Very well, let's do the match right now", G said and we both went to the middle of the training room. "The first one, who collapses looses okay. Then let's start"
With that said G lighted his ring and Storm Flames surrounded him, seconds later a bow and arrow with Storm flames appeared.
I continued to watch what was happening and just watched as G formed arrows made up of Storm Flames. I know how destructive the Vongola Guardians' weapons are and I know only a few can survive their attack and those people are trained hit mans and Mafia members.
But I promised Hayate that I will do everything to make G accept her. And I plan to make that come true. As a dozen flame arrows went to my direction I dodged them all and did a few flips and turns.
Surprised because I know how to fight? The truth is I know how to fight very well, living with the Arcobalenos is not a joke because every day they train me in everything they can think of- from fighting skills to etiquette and manners.
Hit man lessons from Reborn. Etiquette and manners from Luce. Using different weapons from Lal and Colonello. Martial Arts from Fon. Making illusions, defying illusions, and concentration from Mammon. Doing tactics and driving all kinds of things from Skull. Studies and experiments from Verde.
That's how my life evolves when I live with the Arcobalenos and so far they are happy that I am able to keep up with them.
More storm arrows came to my direction and I continued to run around the room to dodge them.
"Cambia Forma: Tigre di Tempesta" G said and after a few seconds a tiger emitting storm flames in some parts of his body appeared. " Ora...let's go"
'So G is getting serious? I'll be serious too then', I thought and I saw Ora, G's tiger running towards my direction. I closed my eyes and concentrated...
"Cambia Forma", I stated and everyone gasped even G widened his eyes.
"You can summon a familiar too?"he asked me in which I ignored and focused my attention to the tiger who is nearing me.
"Cambia Forma: Leone di Cielo", I continued and in a few seconds Sky flames appeared in front of me and there emerged a lion, his mane coated with Sky Flames. "Natsu, Modo Difesa"
A mantle, very similar to Giotto's was placed on top of my shoulders and I grabbed some of the cloth to shield me in front. When I did that, Ora was thrown a few meters backward.
"You, what did you do. You even have the same abilities as Giotto", G stated and I just widened my eyes. "But as I have said before, I will never lose"
Storm flames bursted in my direction and I looked sideways, looking for an escape route just to find nothing at all. I looked up and knew that the only way to escape is to go up. Summoning my courage, I urged the flames in hand to be bigger. As the Storm flames where only a few meters before me, I shot upwards and the mantle in back was coated with Sky Flames at its bottom.
A big explosion can be heard when G's storm flame met the wall of the training room which now have a dent and some burn marks.
'I'm flying?' I thought as I looked down unable to believe what I have just done. I flew sideways and went to in the direction behind G while the smoke was being a hindrance to their sights. I went down and decided to release a kick in which for some reasons G blocked with his arms.
"My eyes are used to smoke so I can see very well in it", he said and summoned Ora once again who was at the moment preparing to blast me with a ball of Storm Flames.
'This is quite bad', I mentally said and shot upwards doing an air flip. As Ora released the ball of Storm Flames. I formed a diamond shape sign in between my two hands with my thumbs touching the side of each pointer finger.
"Zero Point Breakthrough: Revised", I said and my hands absorb the Storm Flames turning them into my own energy. I mentally thanked Sheila for telling me some of her moves. The flame in my head grew larger as well as the flames in my hands.
"You? Absorbed the flames?" Ira shouted and I flew towards G again.
"You even have the same technique. Say Tsunayuki di Cielo, why did you come back in Giotto's life", G said and I stopped midway. "When you were not here Giotto was living a normal life but when you came back he has to live and remember the past once again"
After saying that G produced a large amount of Storm flames and made a dome with the two of us inside it.
"No one outside will hear us. Let's have a new deal Tsunayuki, let's forget about this fight. I'll accept Hayate as the Storm Arceo Protector and I'll even tell her how I truly feel about her. In return you'll resign as the Sky Protector and never show your face in front of us again. Or a second thought, you'll take this medicine and die", G said and showed me a white pill with his outstretched hand. "So what will it be? You said you'll do everything for your friend? You even said you'll risk your own life"
"Then will you promise me? Will you promise me that you and the other Guardians will protect the other Arceo members? Will you love Hayate then?" I said and grabbed the pill.
"I'll tell you the truth then before you die. I never hated Hayate. It's the opposite actually, I've love her since our first meeting. But I don't want her to get hurt so I acted that I hate her so she will forget about me. But she's a hard headed girl and decided to give up her title as the heir of the Procella Family and decided to be part of the Arceo. After this, I'll tell her what I really feel if that's what you want", G explained.
I gave him a smile and ate the pill. I felt a throbbing pain in my head and everything from the past replayed in my mind like a movie. I felt all the feelings I had felt at the past. I felt my happiness, my anger, and especially my sadness. I saw everything after I've broken up with Giotto-how I cried hard every day, how I tried to kill myself, and how I felt depressed. Everything came back and my body gave up and I collapsed.
The last thing I heard was G saying.
"At last, welcome to the family Sky Protector of the Arceo, Tsunayuki di Cielo and Storm Protector, Hayate Procella"
