Hello dear readers, sorry I didn't update for a very long time. I have a really big school work.
To get this straight, if someone didn't understand. Every guardian got stones.
Primo guardian (Tsuna) – has 5 stones.
Secondo guardians (Chrome and Hibari) - each of them have 3 stones.
Terzo guardians (Yamamoto and Gokudera) – each of them have 2 stones.
5+3+3+2+2=15
If you have questions don't be shy and ask me!

Chapter 5: "Cinderella and a new hunter"
*~With Giotto~*
To say that Giotto and his guardians were happy was an understatement. They got drunk and stayed in a club all night. They did a lot of weird things there.
"So we have 2 out of 5, but we don't know which guardians they are." Giotto stated as he stared at his glass of wine. (A/N: Mafia style baby!)
"None of them is the primo guardian." Alaude replied coldly.
"Nufufufufu~ Ho? How do you know?" Daemon asked as he eyed the cold man beside him.
"The primo guardian is the strongest of them all. We won't find him that easily, but that's the best thing, it's a challenge." Alaude replied with a small smirk on his handsome face.
"Yeah, you are right. So it's a Secondo or a Terzo guardian?" Asari asked eagerly, he wanted to know who are these guardians were because as soon they get over with this, the faster everybody could be happy again.
"Probably Terzo." Giotto replied with a light frown on his face, he wanted to get the primo guardian so badly.
"So we have 3 stronger guardians to deal with?" G asked and lit up another cigarette, he looked at Alaude's poker face with a bored look. 'Nothing happened yet, but soon, we are going start a war.' He could only think about the chaos that was going to happen.
"We only know who the Terzo guardians are and we haven't caught them yet, so the hard work has only just begun." Giotto replied and put the glass of wine on the table, 'Something big is going to happen,' he thought. He could feel it, his intuition going wild. 'And it'll bring death with it.'
"Yare, yare, Lampo-sama doesn't want to work anymore." Lampo whined and poked at his pudding. He knew that people considered him a whiny brat, which he would admit, was kind of true, but he wasn't a fool. He could feel that a horrible war was coming and it will be one hell of a war and many people are going to die, but he was ready for it, he wasn't going to run away from the truth.
"Did you forget why we are doing this?" Giotto asked in a mysterious voice.
They all shook their heads and Giotto smiled. "It's in my blood to hunt them down, my duty and my responsibility." He sighed and looked at the ceiling. "I still remember what your old man said." A little smile formed on his lips.
"There is a lot of evil in this world, but the evilest thing in this world is the guardians of the stones of chaos. They are greedy. They want power that can save everything in this world. They are keeping this stones away from the people that need these stones and as hunter it's your duty to bring justice to this world, to bring the stones to its rightful owner and we, the hunters, are the rightful owners of this amazing power." Giotto said, almost sounding like Timoteo.
Almost everyone started to laugh.
"Hmm? What's so funny?" Giotto looked at them with curiosity.
"You sounded just like the old man!" Lampo burst out laughing.
"I guess I did, but it was nice remembering him." Giotto grinned and laughed with the rest of them.
"Cinderella - Namimori middle audition" was written on a big, colorful Sign.
"A long time ago, there lived a beautiful woman. She was always happy even though her mother was dead." a voice said in the microphone.
A beautiful brunet came to the stage. He wore a beautiful orange dress that reached to his knees. On his feet were 1 cm white high heels and his hair was brushed into pigtails.
"Her name was Cinderella and she lived happily with her father."
Another boy came, he was taller than Tsuna. He smiled at the brunet and started to swing him around as they both laughed.
"But every man needs love."
The lights turned off and then on again to show Tsuna sitting alone on a chair while his father talked to a pretty black haired girl. They were laughing and smiling while Tsuna sat there and looked at them with teary eyes.
"And death struck once again."
The man's head was on the brunet's lap and Tsuna was sobbing and hugging the dead man's body.
- Behind the stage -
"Wow. I didn't know that the brat could act so well." G commented with a light smirk on his face and looked at his best friend's costume.
"Of course he is. After all, he's perfect and most impotently he is MINE." Giotto exclaimed and made sure that a certain pineapple bastard heard him.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Romeo." G couldn't hold in his laugher. In his whole life, he never thought he would help Giotto dress up as a price that wore really tight clothes. He had 3 cameras with him. There was no freaking way he wouldn't get pictures of this day.
-Back to the Stage -
"The evil stepmother and her daughters abused the young beauty and made her heart feel pain every second she breathed."
The woman screamed at Tsuna and the other girls 'hit' him, but he did not cry.
"They made Cinderella clean, cook and be their personal slave, it was a horrible and tough job. However, she did not complain, not even once."
Tsuna was in a very short maid outfit, he was blushing madly as every person in the room drooled over him.
That was when G broke and went on the stage, screaming about perverts and eye rape, "That's it! You people are just doing this play to see the brat in short clothing! You perverted molesters!" He went to cover Tsuna, but the most unexpected person stopped him, Chrome jumped off the selling and landed straight onto G.
"G-san, please don't interfere with the play." she stated quietly and dragged him off stage. As she did that people, cheered for her.
"You go, Chrome-san!"
"You're our fantasies' savior!"
"Continue with the play!"
"Tsuna looks so cute in that dress!"
If G wasn't trapped then he would have screamed at the perverts, but Chrome did a pretty awesome job in saving the play.
- Back to the Play -
"Many years have passed and the treatment the beauty got was even worse than before, but she did not lose hope. She knew that one day everything would be alright."
Tsuna was smiling brightly when he took the broom into his arms. No matter what happened, his smile would never disappear.
"The time had come for the prince to find his bride, and so he came to the village in the south of the country, the village that our Cinderella lived in."
Giotto came to the stage with a charming smile on his face that made all the girls faint. "Every girl in the village is invited to my birthday party along with other towns' women and there I will chose my future bride. But remember girls, what's inside are more important to me than your look."
"Every girl in the village was exited except for one, Cinderella. Actually, she was kind of angry at the prince. Because of him, she had to do even more work and her 'family' treated her even worse."
"Stupid handsome prince...Wait…Handsome?! What am I saying?! He's an annoying prick! What's important on the inside? People don't understand that!" Cinderella grumbled as she cleaned her stepsister's dress.
"But even in the darkest of times, hope will shine through and so a savior will be brought to this pure hope."
"Cinderella's family went to the party, leaving the pretty girl to work and suffer all alone. She looked hopelessly out of the window when she suddenly heard a cheerful laugh. On the table, a girl appeared with purple hair and with a green light that can light the entire town."
"W-Who are you and how did you get in?!" Cinderella shrieked as she took a frying pan and pointed it towards the weird girl.
"Well, that was kind of rude." said the girl. "And here I came all this way just to help and you are threatening me with a frying pan. I think I'll go to the prince's party now and have a drink while I pull pranks on some old hags." She pushed herself off the table and started walking towards the door.
However, Cinderella was faster and quickly jumped on the mysteries girl. "Wait! You said something about pranks on the prince and the old hags?" Cinderella asked as she shook the girl.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Calm down, Cinderella, or else my head will fall!" The girl with the eye patch said jokingly.
Cinderella clumsily got off the girl and rubbed the back of her neck. "Oh sorry! Wait. How do you even know my name?"
The girl grinned once again and showed her a card, "Finally, you are ready to listen, sweetie! Now listen, my name is Chrome Dokuro and I'm your fairy!"
Cinderella looked at the card and then at Chrome and then once again at the card, "It's says 'Rita Phoenix' Not 'Chrome Dokuro', did you steal this?" She crooked an eyebrow.
Chrome smiled nervously and threw the paper into the fire. "Oops! I'm so clumsy! Now listen up, I'm gonna dress you up and then we are gonna pull a joke on of the pretty prince. I know you want it~" Chrome said in a seductive voice.
"Make fun of the prince? Count me in and while we are there, can we destroy some hags' pride?" Cinderella smirked slightly and laughed. Chrome clapped her hands and in the matter of seconds, Cinderella was in a dress that will make a blind person whistle. "That's my girl." Chrome said as they took off to the castle.
"The prince was talking to some ladies until he noticed a beautiful brown haired girl that wore a short black and orange dress that reached to the middle of her thighs, she had black gloves and black high heels. Her hair was wild and reached to her waist. Prince Giotto was completely shocked by the beautiful girl, what he didn't know was that he wasn't the only one who noticed her."
"So, having fun?" Chrome smiled as she took a slip from her drink, "You know that men are looking at you hungrily. Hell! I saw lust in even some woman's eyes. I'm almost jealous." She chuckled.
"Almost? Well, I really don't care, but while you were talking to some guys, I found some people I want to prank." Cinderella said as she eyed her 'family' with an evil smirk on her face.
"Lead the way, future princess." Chrome chuckled at Cinderella's surprised look. "What? You think I haven't seen how the hot prince looked at you. Believe me, it's not just lust."
"Great. Now not only will I prank him, I'll break his heart. This sucks." Cinderella bit her lip and Chrome chuckled, "Just don't give into his charm and that will be enough. He's a big boy. He'll manage to live with the rejection."
Cinderella's eyebrow rose, "He has charm?"
"He has such charm that you'll fall in love with him the moment you dance with him." a voice spoke from behind them and they turned around, only to see Prince Giotto's charming smile and open hand.
"Is that an invitation, my prince?" Cinderella played with her hair and Giotto needed to use all of his self-control to not lick his lips.
"I won't take no for an answer." Giotto chuckled, but inside, he was sweating nervously. How could this girl not fall for him yet?
"So you'll have to deal with the painful rejection." Cinderella chuckled, put her drink on the table, and then she walked near him as if he wasn't here.
"I insist." He smiled forcibly, took her arm and then walked to the dance floor.
"Who knew that the famous Prince Giotto could be so annoying?" Cinderella said as Giotto twirled her around.
"And I thought that every girl was madly in love with me, but here you are, a girl who can't stand even me."
"So you aren't just a pretty face, I'm almost impressed." She smirked and Giotto chuckled,
"Almost~?" he asked. "Don't push your luck pretty boy. You're lucky that I didn't kick you in the balls for making me dance with you." she said with a cheerful smile that promised pain if you pushed her too far.
"My, my, what a temper." Giotto already knew who his future bride would be. That is if he could make the beauty fall in love with him.
Before Cinderella could say something, the clock rang, signalling that it was midnight and Giotto felt a pain in his treasure (Read as: Balls). He looked up to meet Cinderella's shiny brown eyes and a victories smile. "That was for groping me earlier."
Giotto smiled shamelessly, "You can't blame me for trying." (The whole groping thing wasn't even written in the script. Giotto is just a pervert who couldn't help himself.)
Cinderella ran towards Chrome who was talking with some guy. She grabbed Chrome's hand and ran out of the palace, but one of her heels fell.
"Damn, I think I just fell in love." Giotto sighed and hugged the shoe as many women ran to him and asked him if he was okay.
"But of course the prince hadn't given up. Who would give up on the love of his life? He went to every city, every house, only to be disappointed each time, but it changed when he knocked on a door in a small village."
"W-Who could it be…? Prince Giotto! Oh my, what an honor! Would you like a glass of tea? Some cake? Idiot girl, come here and serve the prince!" the old woman screamed, but tried to keep her smile on.
Giotto frowned at the old hag. 'How can she treat a person like that and keep a smile?'
The two older girls' feet didn't fit in the shoe, but then another girl came with a tray full of sweets, she kept a serious look on her face, but what caught Giotto's eyes was her small foot that looked perfect for the shoe.
Without a second thought he took the girl into his arms bridal style and put the shoe on her foot, it matched perfectly. He was so happy and landed to kiss her, but suddenly, pain shot in the place he was kicked in yesterday. "Come for another round, cutie?" She looked at him with amusement. He could see it now, this was his lost princess.
"How dare you?! You dumb bitch!" the mother yelled, but before she could hit the girl, she was turned into a banana. Chrome appeared shortly after that, "Oops! I really need to learn how to use my magic correctly." Chrome chuckled and ate the banana.
"I guess you are going to take me with you and try to win my heart?" Cinderella smiled at the prince who barely got up.
"So you aren't just a pretty face, I'm almost impressed." He managed to say.
"Do you always copy sentences from people?" Her eyebrow rose as Giotto stepped closer. He wrapped his arms over her waist and his lips were barely apart from her.
"Only the ones I like." he whispered before he kissed her softly.
"And after many pleadings and kisses, Cinderella said 'I'll think about it.'"
The lights turned off and the crowd cheered.
-After the show –
The moon of the night shone on the streets of Namimori, but it wasn't nearly as bright as the two boys walking home from a late night.
"Giotto that was amazing! I never thought you could act so well, but you earned that kick." Tsuna smiled cutely as he played with the flowers in his hands.
Giotto smiled at the lovely sight and laughed lightly, "Neither did I, Tsu."
"Say Tsuna, about the kiss..." Giotto noticed that in the moment he said 'kiss,' Tsuna started to walk faster and his face was red.
'How cute,' was all what Giotto could think.
"I-I need t-to go h-home." Tsuna murmured and walked even faster.
"Tsu, wait!" Giotto called out him and caught his wrist. He turned the blushing boy around and sealed their lips once again. Tsuna was shocked, but after a few moments he relaxed and kissed back.
When they parted, Giotto took Tsuna into his arms bridal style and laughed at the cute brunet's protests.
"Giotto Taru, put me down immediately or I swear I will..." Tsuna was pouting and poking Giotto's chest, 'He has such a lot of muscle on his chest. He's probably really strong. He's so handsome. Why would he want me of all the petty people in the world?' he thought with a frown. He still couldn't believe in it.
"Hey, Tsu?" Giotto said as he nuzzled the brunet's hair, that seemed to bring Tsuna out of his thoughts and look at him.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Will you go out with me?" Giotto asked with a seductive voice that made Tsuna shiver.
"You're a-asking m-me on a d-date?" Tsuna's was so red that it would put many tomatoes to shame, he was really shocked. 'Why would he ask a weakling like me out on a date? I'm only good at my job...' he thought and grimaced at the thought. 'No matter how strong he is, he will still get hurt and it would be my fault.'
"Yes. If you want meto I'll get on my knees and beg for a 'yes,' I will do it with pleasure." Giotto smirked lightly when he saw Tsuna's flushed face become even redder.
"No." Tsuna whispered quietly and Giotto's heart stopped, he almost dropped the younger boy if Tsuna didn't hug his neck, "You don't need to do anything at all! I should! You always do everything for me and it's time that I did something for you!" Tsuna said, Giotto smiled softly at the cute boy's speech, 'God, this boy is so cute.'
"So...is that a 'yes'?" Giotto asked with slight amusement in his voice.
"I gave you a speech about how perfect you are and that's all what matters to you?" Tsuna was laughing like no tomorrow and Giotto soon joined him.
"You are so cute, but I'm serious. What's your answer?" Giotto looked Tsuna strait in eyes and Tsuna laughed for a bit and hugged Giotto tightly.
"O-Of course Mr. Perfect," he muttered. Giotto smiled warmly, lifted the brunet's chin and kissed his lips softly.
"Why isn't that a cute little show you did there?" a voice from the shadows said darkly.
Giotto and Tsuna looked in the direction of the voice, but they couldn't see a single thing.
TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP.
Footsteps, that's all what they could hear.
"Who is there?!" Giotto screamed and hugged the brunet in his arms protectively. 'Whoever this person is, he gives a very strange feeling. This feeling can only be-'
'-a hunter,' Tsuna thought. 'This can't be happening! Not now! Giotto is with me right now! He'll get hurt! How did they find me?! I made sure to put seals around this town. How?! This hunter is-'
'-a strong one.' Giotto thought, 'Damn. Why a hunter is here? This is Vongola territory and this hunter clearly isn't one of my men. And Tsuna! Fuck! What am I going to do?! He'll get hurt!' Giotto gritted his teeth in anger.
"Oh my, oh my~! Is the head of the Vongola mad?" the voice asked mockingly and Giotto was sure of it, he was going to punch that son of a bitch in the face.
"Shut up, you freaking coward! Come into the light and don't hide in the shadows like a fucking ghost!" Giotto wasn't a man who used cursing, but this person was annoying him!
"J-Just who a-are you a-anyway?" Tsuna mumbled quietly, he really didn't like this stranger's aura. It was disgusting and smelt like a rotting animal.
"Oh you are so cute Tuna~ But I'm hurt. You don't recognize me by my voice? I thought we loved each other~" Anger could be heard in the voice. Anger, lust, madness and worst of all: love.
"I-I d-don't k-know you!" Tsuna half screamed, 'A hunter who knows me? This is really bad.' Tsuna winced at his thought and bit his lip. He looked at Giotto, only to see sky blue eyes looking down at him.
'Do you know him?' Giotto mouthed to him and Tsuna shook his head furiously.
"Why I'm hurt, Love. I don't blame you of course…I blame that bitch for taking you away from me. But it doesn't matter anymore, because now, you and I can be together forever~" The voice chuckled insanely. It made Tsuna feel terrified.
If Tsuna could, he would disappear the moment he heard the voice, but he would never abound anybody, no matter how scared he was.
He was scared, really scared, but he felt better when he felt Giotto's fingers start making circles on his back.
"Please, just leave us alone! I don't know you! I never met you before! You're probably mistaken!" Tsuna said as he tried to hold back his tears, he was strong, but he would break down if he lost another person in his life.
The voice suddenly laughed. An insane and scary laugh.
And then the owner of the voice came into the light. He had a hood, but if you are close, you could see his face perfectly. He was still laughing, but not as loud as before.
"Remember me, beloved?" His eyes were narrowed, but love could still be seen in them, but it was hard to see since he had a mad grin on his face.
Tsuna was speechless. This couldn't be happening…No! This simply wasn't happening to him. Why was he alive? He died 9 years ago! So why?! Why did he come back?!
He looked at the ruby eyes of the hunter and whispered a name that cut the silence like a knife.
"Enma…"
Vetrag: Finally! Damn I was waiting so much to write the last part! I REALLY don't know how to write fluff and that's why it took me so many times. Anyway, next chapter will be about Tsuna's past and then we get to the part that I wanted to write so badly!
Until next time.
