CHAPTER 30- The Familiars of the Vongola
The world is trying to bring about the end
And no one is trying to stop it.
-It's starting.
The symphony of destruction echoes out.
The rain that falls sounds almost like the tone of tears.
Tell me.
Do people who control and are controlled
One day forget what it means to love
Because of the hatred in their hearts,
And attack others?
I can hear this song coming to me.
All you who have life,
The truth is inside your heart
Because even in times in which I must go to the stormy ocean,
It gives you strength
That never hesitates.
However, the further we move ahead, the stronger the wind gets,
And so the flame of hope starts to go out.
"Hand over the light!" The people scramble for it,
And once it comes to this, people kill each other,
Their tears dried.
Notice it.
Your eyes are for acknowledging each other.
Your voice is to convey your feelings.
Your hand is to hold with the one who is precious to you.
I can hear this song coming to me.
All of you who have nowhere to go,
Hope is in your hearts
Because even in blazing flames,
It gives you a strength
That will never be scathed.
Are those things you tried to protect
The things you truly loved?
You gaze at your hand dyed in crimson
And finally realize the foolishness you have committed,
Admit it to be a mistake, and
Cry without an end for your sins.
I can hear this song coming to me.
All you who have life,
The truth is inside your heart
The stormy ocean has quieted,
No matter if the things you have lost are countless.
I can hear this song coming to me.
All of you who have nowhere to go,
Hope is in your hearts
When you overcome the night of sadness,
I am sure you will come out
Holding the strength to live on.
"As expected from you, Tsuki to make another fabulous song", the host of the TV program said.
"Thank you for always anticipating my songs everyone. Please wait for the new CD album to be released" , I said and waved at everyone in the audience who in turn began screaming and shrieking.
After ten more minutes I went out from the Television studio and made my way to the black tinted limousine waiting for me at the exit.
"Are we going directly to the mansion, Lady Tsuna?" the driver asked.
"Yes please do, I don't know what will happen if the Varia awakens and knows that I'm not in the HQ. Can I request you to drive a little faster then?"
"Sure Lady-Tsuna"
And we arrive at the HQ in plain 10 minutes. And I think it's too late...
Maids are already running all over the mansion cowering in fear and shouts of Tsuna, and Princess can be heard.
"I'm just gone for a few hours and they've done this kind of riot in the mansion"
"Giotto, where is Tsuna? Arceo, where is Tsuna?" Xanxus said and everyone of the Guardians, Arceo, and Varia are inside Giotto's study.
"I told, you Xanxus-nii Tsuna has to go to her job for a few hours. She'll be back later", I can hear Giotto say. I decided to go inside to stop the Varia's worries.
"I'm sorry if I went out from the mansion. I just went out to do my job", I reasoned out and in a few seconds all the Varia are hugging me.
"We thought that you were lost or worse kidnapped by another family", Squalo explained and everyone hugged me tightly.
"I'm sorry for making you all worry", I said and the Varia was on all smiles again.
"It's okay, as long as you're okay", Bel-nii said and we all went out from Giotto's study to let him finish his work.
I dragged the Varia towards the direction of my own office so that they won't bother anyone. We just continued chatting about what they did in their missions and some about mine.
"Say Tsuna-chan what's your familiar look like?" Lussuria-nee asked me.
"If you want I can call them...", I replied and everyone's mouth fell.
"You mean you've got more than one animal familiar?" Squalo-nii asked and I just gave them a nod.
"Cambia Forma", I stated and close my eyes suddenly two pure Sky Flames appeared one flying and one on the ground. After a few seconds, the flames on the ground revealed the Sky Lion and the flames in the air revealed a Sky Phoenix.
"These are my Familiars, Leone di Cieli and Fenice di Cielo, Natsu and Kyoi" ,I said and as if sensing what I mean, Natsu gave a small roar and Kyoi flapped his orange wings.
"Where are your familiars Nii-chans, Nee-chan I would like to meet them", I asked and they give me a smile.
"We left them to the Arceo to be fed. I think they're all eating now Princess", Fran voiced out.
As if wanting to meet the others, Natsu and Kyoi flashed out of the room after a few minutes.
"Wait you two where are you going?" I shouted and followed them to their direction.
It was a good five minutes before the two finally stopped and entered a room I've never been inside before.
"Hey look it's a phoenix, I wonder whose familiar it is", a voice that is recognizably Elena's said.
"It's my first time seeing it in the mansion, I wonder who owns that", a voice of Chrome replied.
"I hope I can meet Hime-sama's familiar again, ours are all here, only hers are not", Hayate said.
'All the familiars are gathered in the room?' I mentally thought and went inside to saw a zoo-like room.
Beside the Arceo are some recognizable animals glowing with their respective flame attribute. Beside Hayate is a yellow and white cat, beside Takeshi is a swallow and a brown dog, beside Laela is a big buffalo, beside Rhea is a kangaroo, beside Kyoya is a hedgehog, beside Mukuro is a black raven, and beside Chrome is a white owl.
Beside the Vongola are another set of animals. Beside G is his tiger, beside Arisa is a parrot and a fox, beside Lampo is a goat, beside Knuckles is a deer, beside Viole is a flying squirrel, beside Daemon is a bat, and beside Elena is a dove.
Near Giotto is a mix between a tiger and a lion, a shark, a peacock, a mink, a torpedo, and a monkey. At his back however is a dragon emitting Sky Flames and a cheetah.
"Hime-sama good timing we would like you to meet our familiars", Hayate said and she and the other Arceo stood up."First of all, this is Uri, Gatto Tempesta"
"I'm going next then, these are my familiars, Jirou and Kojirou", Takeshi pointed to the dog and the swallow. "The Cane di Pioggia and Rondine di Pioggia"
"Tsuna-nee meet Gyuudon, the Bufalo Fulmine, it's my familiar", Laela said and pointed to the black buffalo.
"This is Kangaryuu, the Cangaro del Serono, it's my dear partner", Rhea said and hugged the brown kangaroo beside her.
"This is Roll, Porcospino Nuvola", Kyoya stated and held a very cute hedgehog.
"This is Mukurowl, Gufo di Neve,it's my Familiar Tsuna-hime", Chrome said and pointed to the white owl perched on her shoulder.
"Princess, this is Kras, Corvino di Nebbia, it's my familiar",Mukuro said and held his fingers to present the raven.
"It's our turn then as you know this is Ora, Tigre di Tempesta", G said and pointed to a familiar tiger.
"This is Omu and Kitsu, the Pappagallo di Pioggia and Volpe di Pioggia", Arisa said and pointed at a parrot and a fox.
"This is Yagi, my familiar also known as Capra di Fulmine", Lampo stated and pointed at a white goat.
" Meet Shi, also known as the Cervo del Sereno. It's my familiar", Knuckles said and stroked the body of a brown deer.
"Kura, the Scoiattolo di Nuvola", Viole said and held a very cute squirrel. Are Cloud Bearers always into cute things?
"This is Seki, Pipistrello di Nebbia", Daemon said and a bat flew to his direction and perched at his fingers.
"Meet Hato, the Columba di Neve. It's my familiar", Elena said and on her shoulder rests a dove.
"So now that your are here, it's good timing for us to introduce our familiars, first of all this is Beste, Ligre Tempesta di Cieli. It's my partner.", Xanxus said and gestured the liger to come closer and he even let me pat it on the head.
"This is Alo, the Squalo Grande Pioggia. It's my very own shark familiar", Squalo stated and a shark swam to the nearest end of the pool and Squalo-nii let me touch it.
"This is my beloved Mink, Visone Tempesta", Belphegor-nii said and Mink jumped to my arms and nuzzled my face. I laughed as it tickles my face and after a minute went back to Bel-nii.
"This is Livya, Torpedina Fulmine", Levy said and a electric ray went near me and flapped his wing-like sides.
"Tsuna, meet Kuu the Pavone del Sereno", Lussuria-nee said and an elegant peacock went near me and kind of like bowed.
"Lastly this is my familiar Saru, Scimmia di Nebbia", Fran said and pointed at the nearby monkey.
"Wow they are all so cool!", I exclaimed and everyone laughed.
"Giotto-nii, introduce yours", Laela said and the dragon and a cheetah went in front of Giotto.
"Alright, alright. This is Ryu and Chi, the Drago di Cielo and Ghepardo di Cielo, they are my familiars", Giotto said and suddenly the two animals went near me and did the most unexpected thing, they both bowed down their heads.
"Impossible, it's their second time doing that, the first being on Giotto", G said and slowly the animals went back to Giotto's direction.
"So Hime-sama can we see Natsu again?" Hayate said with stars gleaming on her eyes.
"That's the problem, Hayate I ran all the way here to chase after them but I seem to have lost them. You happen to know a phoenix flying here right?" I asked them and Hayate widened her eyes.
"As expected of Hime-sama to also have two familiars",Hayate said and shaked my hand. I looked around the room to know any signs of my two familiars until I heard a familiar 'Gao'. A pure Sky Flame appeared and it revealed Natsu together with Kyoi who was at the moment holding a paper at its beak.
"Natsu,Kyoi there you are, next time please don't escape like that",I told my familiars and got the paper on Kyoi's beak.
"Ah, by the way I'll introduce them. This is Natsu, the Leone di Cieli and the other one is Kyoi, the Fenice di Cielo", I said and the two expressed their greetings by a soft roar and flapping of wings.
I turned my back from the others and read the contents of the letter.
'Tsuna,we're at the infirmary right now. Hurry, Luce is in labor and wants you here. Bring the others if they are not so busy. Love, Reborn'
