Arc 01: Prologue

On the first day of the New Year, Taka was now seven years old. Fon was bringing Taka back to Li's house with I-Pin tagging along. When they arrived, Fon ringed the doorbell. Li opened the door and they all entered the house.

~ Li and Fon's Point Of View ~
Li and Fon went to the living room. They sat down on the sofa.
"How was he?"
"He is much better than I expected. He trained with me less than a year and he already surpassed me. He is quite interesting and amusing."
"I train only the best after all. And, who was the little girl who went with Taka? Is she your apprentice?"
"Yes, her name is I-Pin. Furthermore, your son taught her to speak, read and write Japanese and Italian. She can speak, read and write in both languages fluently now."
Li raised an eyebrow. "Was Taka the one who wanted to teach her?"
"Yes, though he did learn something else too."
Li raised an eyebrow. "What is the 'something else' you taught him?"
"Nothing really, though Lichi likes him a lot now."
"Oh, you taught him 'that' technique."
Fon shakes his head. "I did not. Taka learnt it himself."

~ Taka and I-Pin's Point Of View ~
Taka and I-Pin entered Taka's room. They sat down on the floor.
[I-Pin, what language would you like to speak?]
[Let us talk Japanese, okay?]
[Okay, let us talk Japanese.]
I-Pin nods. "Thank you Taka nii-san, for teaching me to speak, read and write in Japanese and Italian.
Taka smiled. "It is fine. Ne~ I-Pin, we have been really good friends right? Why do we not create a song and a pair of bracelets for it? The song will be only known to us, and though we are apart, we can still remember each other through the song."
I-Pin smiled. "Okay, let us create a song just for us!"
Taka and I-Pin first made the friendship bracelets and they wore it on their right hand. Then, they spent a lot of time to create a song just for the two of them. The song must be sung in Chinese, the language they first spoke to each other with. The name of the song is 'We Will Forever Be Friends'.
(Author's note: I am lazy to type the song out, so I will only type it out when it is needed. If you want the song please PM me, but this song was created by me. So, do not expect much. ^_^)
Taka and I-Pin worked on the song until dinner time.

~ Normal Point of View ~
When night came, Li went to Taka's room and told him to cook dinner. Taka went to the kitchen while I-Pin followed Li to the living room where Fon is.
Taka was always in charge of cooking because it was good training, but mostly because Li was lazy to make it. Li was also very picky with his food and would do terrible things to Taka if he does not like the food. Because of that, Taka's cooking skills is at a professional level.
After they had dinner, Taka collected the dishes and brought it into the kitchen. Taka washed the dishes.
Fon wiped his mouth and stood up. [We have to go now, I-Pin.]
[But shishou, I want to stay here, I want to stay with nii-san.]
Fon shakes his head. [We stayed too long, we should go home now.]
I-Pin used the puppy-dog eye. [But shishou… I beg you. Let me stay here.]
Fon signed. [I-Pin…]
Li chuckled. [She really likes my son. I guess I have no choice, if you want to stay, you can. But please do not stay too long.]
I-Pin was really happy and smiled.
Fon signed again. [Okay, we will stay here for two more days.]
Suddenly, somebody took I-Pin's hand.
[That is great, is it not I-Pin?] asked Taka.
[Yes, nii-san.]
Li cuts in. "Did you finish washing the plates Taka?"
"Yes I did, Father."
"Good. And I take it, you heard what Fon said just now right?"
"Yes, I did."
"I-Pin will be sleeping with you then."
"Okay, I always slept with I-Pin when I was in Fon-sensei's house."
Suddenly, there was killing intent surrounded Li. "Fon…! What did you do?"
"Calm down Li, I did not do anything wrong! Although they slept in the same room, they did not do anything else except talking."
Li's murderous aura disappeared and he started laughing. "I know, I was just joking with you."
Fon signed in relieve.
Li turned to Taka. "Taka, you can go upstairs now. Fon and I have something to talk about."
"Okay Father."
[You can go too, I-Pin.]
[Okay shishou.]

Taka and I-Pin went up to Taka's room. Li and Fon continued talking. Just before midnight, I-Pin was really tired and went to sleep. After I-Pin was asleep, Taka took her bracelet from her hand. Taka too took off his bracelet.
Taka started adding some kind of mechanism onto the two bracelets. When it was completed, Taka took out a photo that he took with I-Pin and put it onto the bracelets.
The mechanism Taka made into the bracelets is unique. It will not be destroyed by anything. The mechanism will work when the smaller one (I-Pin's bracelet) is put into the bigger one (Taka's bracelet). Once there's a 'click' sound, a picture will appear.
After Taka finished making the mechanism, Taka wore back his bracelet. He puts the other bracelet back to I-Pin's hand and went to sleep.

For the next two days, Taka was trained by Fon while I-Pin was trained by Li in the morning. Fon was teaching Taka to be calmer which is needed for each martial artist. Li was teaching I-Pin on how to use a small blade.
In the afternoon, Taka and I-Pin would play together and secretly sing their secret song.
On the third day, Fon and I-Pin left where Fon and I-Pin went back to their house. Li resumed Taka's training. Taka was slowly but surely surpassing Li at every weapon they were training at. Li also gave Taka a pair of gloves with the word 'T' on it.
(Author's note: He is not going to be Vongola Decimo after all. XD)
