CHAPTER 33- Plan Starts Now
Elena's POV
"So Ms. Valdia what's going on in here?" I asked the middle-aged lady and I was awarded with a smile.
"You see Elena dear a certain someone named Talbot and Timoteo asked me to help Giotto and Tsuna end up together", Valdia said and all of us gathered near her widened her eyes.
"You have a plan and you didn't tell us?" Arisa said and every one of us nodded.
"Let us be part of it", Laela said and all of us nodded again.
"So what's the plan?" I asked and Valdia began to say the details.
"The mission is to always pair them up and make them closer to each other", Valdia said. "Everyone of us should join forces, you can tell the others but Giotto and Tsuna must not know this okay?"
"Roger, Mission: G and T to end up together, plan starts now", I said and all of us begin to plan a detailed strategy.
Valdia left the planning to us while she, Giotto, and Tsuna, with the help of the other males started to distribute the presents.
"Okay, Chrome, you and I know how to do illusions, so let's make a romantic atmosphere around the place", I said and Chrome saluted.
"Laela, Rhea, and Hayate you will be with the targets and do everything so that they will get closer to each other", at that time Rhea, Hayate, and Laela also saluted.
"Arisa and Viole, make some booby traps that has an effect to make the two interact",
"Yes commander", Arisa saluted and Viole gave a nod.
"Alright members, let's separate"
Tsuna's POV
'Was it just my imagination or are the girls really planning something', I mentally thought and just continued to distribute the gifts.
"Hime-sama can you pass this to Ouji-sama?"Hayate said and I passed the gift to Giotto who was beside me. Seriously, Hayate can just pass the gift directly to Giotto, why does she have to make me do it?
"Giotto-nii can you pass this to Tsuna-nee?" Laela said and once again Giotto passed me another present and this continued for the remaining gifts.
After distributing the gifts, Giotto and I were told to sit down at the nearby bench while the others crowded at the other bench.
"Guys, you can sit here too you know, there is still a lot of space", I said but the others declined the offer saying that it's fun to sit in their current position. One bench can make 7 people sit comfortably.
Imagine their sitting arrangement. The boys are the one sitting on the bench and sitting on their laps are the girls. Hayate sits on G, Arisa on Takeshi, Laela on Knuckles, Rhea on Lampo, Chrome on Kyoya, Elena on Daemon and unbelievably Viole on Mukuro.
I'm glad that they are bonding just fine, but something is really going on.
"I think you're uncomfortable on your positions", Giotto stated and he is actually right seeing Hayate and Viole's forced smiles on their faces.
"No Giotto, we're all fine. No need to worry", Viole unbelievably said and Giotto and I remained silent and continued to sit together.
After a few seconds a pink glow with hearts and flowers can be seen all over the area and it is mostly imposed in our area.
The children are all happy to see that but I knew better that they illusions and the one doing the act are obviously a whistling Chrome and a smiling Elena. I just sighed and I can hear Giotto deeply sighed too.
After a few minutes of sitting down I decided to stand up until a handcuff appeared at the side of the bench and handcuffed my left hand with Giotto's right.
"What's happening? Why are we handcuffed?" Giotto said and all the Guardians and Protectors started to hum. "Viole, I know these are your handcuffs. Give me the key"
"Sorry, I left the keys for the first time at the HQ so I'm sorry but you're stuck until we go back", Viole replied.
"Can't we just melt the cuffs then?" I asked Giotto but he just shrugs his shoulders.
"Viole's handcuffs are made up of a special metal that can never be melted or destroyed so the only way is the key, but with no key I'm afraid we are stuck", Giotto said. "Say are you going somewhere seeing that you are planning to stand before we are handcuffed together.
"I'm planning to go inside the orphanage and help tuck the kids to bed", I replied.
"Let's go then, with us in this situation we have to do everything together", Giotto simply said and we walk to the direction of the orphanage.
While at the doorstep and telling the children that it's naptime, the Guardians and Protectors started to hum again and the children all pointed upwards. Hanging on the ceiling is an innocent mistletoe.
'That wasn't there when we arrived', I thought and the kids all said one thing.
"Kiss Mama, Papa"
Giotto then held my head and give me another kiss on the forehead.
That time another round of clicking cameras was heard and all the Protectors and Guardians are 3 meters beside us holding their phones and cameras.
"Care to tell me who placed the mistletoe on the ceiling?" Giotto said again and everyone kept silent.
We sighed once again and directed the children to their sleeping quarters.
As of the request of the children we decided to give them each a kiss on the forehead and lulled them to sleep.
"Mama, sing us a lullaby", Frederick said and Giotto looked at me and nodded.
I closed my eyes and began to sing the sole lullaby I can remember that my Mom sings to me.
In the night sky, they twinkle
The far stars of gold
The same color as the small bird
that looked up in my dream last night
In the sleepless night,
I sing this song alone
Together with the blowing wind,
I fly riding on my thoughts
In the night sky, it sparkles
The distant moon of silver
The same color as the wild rose
that was blooming in my dream last night
In the gentle night,
I sing this song alone
Let me sing with you tomorrow
Riding the wings of dreams
In the gentle night,
I sing this song alone
Let me sing with you tomorrow
Riding the wings of dreams
When I finished the song and opened my eyes I found all the children soundly sleeping with Giotto placing blankets on some children nearest our direction.
We went downstairs and saw the Guardians and Protectors with Valdia drinking a cup of tea. Hayate passed one to me and one to Giotto.
I sat down near the Arceo and calmly drank my tea. I saw the other Protectors giving me a smile. One that has a deeper meaning.
After a few minutes sleep clouded my eyes, minutes ago I never felt any signs of sleeping. Was it the tea? Are they drugged with sleeping pills?
I slowly closed my eyes and blacked out.
When I woke up I was sitting over someone, and this certain someone was squirming under me. I straightened and saw myself sitting on top of Giotto, my arms placed on his neck and his arms encircling my waist. My hands were tied up with a rope same with Giotto. Giotto's legs are however tied to the chair. I looked all over the room and saw that we are all alone.
"Glad to see you're now awake. Now can you help me with the untying of the ropes?" Giotto said. "We can't burn them because this is Arisa's rope and it is resistant to fire and it can never be cut"
After a long ten minutes we successfully freed ourselves with utmost difficulty and looked around the room together seeing that our hands are still cuffed but was replaced with longer chains. After a minute the cuffs reformed again returning back to its original short chain.
"So where did you think we are?" I asked Giotto who was at that time touching the walls.
"Judging by the room, we are still at the orphanage but we are enclosed by a strong barrier of Mist flames.
"As expected of you Giotto", Daemon and Mukuro's voice can be heard and both appeared.
"Let us out in this vortex of yours Mukuro, Daemon", Giotto said and the two brothers smirked.
"Of course Your Highnesses", the two said and in a second we found ourselves in the living room with the others surrounding us.
"You, you all planned this didn't you, the handcuffs, the illusions, the mistletoe, the tying up of the two of us", I said and released a deadly aura.
"Haha...but Hime-sama...we're sorry", Hayate said and kneeled down.
I had a lot of fun today too, and seeing the Guardians and the Protectors bonding together I can't help but forgive them.
"I'll forgive you this time...let's go home then", I said and gave a smile.
"You're leaving?" the children said and Giotto and I kneeled down.
"Don't worry we'll be back before you know it", I said.
"The next time we'll visit we'll bring you a lot of gifts", Giotto said. "And we'll go somewhere together"
"Alright then", the children said. "Goodbye"
We all smiled and Elsa and the other girl grabbed me and Alex and the other boys grabbed Giotto.
"Take care of Papa okay Mama"
"Take care of Mama, okay Papa"
