Chapter 5: Replaying History

Yuki froze where she was standing, and looked at her guardians/ teammates, wide eyes. She shakily smiled, taking a small step back. Natsu was still leaning against the window glass door, Gray sitting on the edge of her peach colored, oak wood pillar bed, apricot curtains over it. Wendy, sitting on Lucy's lap, holding on to Carla, at the tea table near the window, with Erza sitting the opposite side of Lucy, was drinking tea. Happy was sitting on Erza's lap, eating a cookie.

"Yuki, start explaining. Who are you?" Natsu growled, his arms crossed, and a serious expression on his face.

"W-what do you mean? I'm me. The girl you all met. What could you-?" Yuki started.

"Stop lying Yuki. We heard what you said with Nono, Makarov." Gray admitted, though without guilt.

Yuki face was shadowed by her hair, her hands fisted. 'I knew they were listening, like always, yet leave when it's just a boring conversation… But, I never thought they would listen through! They weren't supposed to know, until later on! Scratch that, they weren't supposed to know at all!' She ranted in her head, deep in thought. Trembling with anger, and frustration, she just stood there without looking up.

"Please Yuki. We deserve to know… After all, we promised each other from that day, the day before we fought with Team Laxus; Divergenza. "Erza begged, eyes softening.

"Please Yuki…" Lucy pleaded, along with Wendy.

*Sigh*

Then raising her head, and her face turning into a serious expression, she showed looked directly at them.

"Fine, I'll tell you. But, this information will NOT be LEAKED OUT, and that is an ORDER from Fairy Tail's Decima!" Yuki ordered her voice with no joke, but seriousness.

The others widen in shock at what they just heard. This was their first time hearing Yuki ordering them, and forcing them to do omerta. Then nodding their heads, and trusting them, Yuki took out her Vongola ring, making their eyes widen.

"That's-!" Happy started.

"Yes, it's the Vongola Ring, and this very ring explains who I USED to be," She said, emphasizing the past tense "used". "Back before we met, my name was Tsunayuki Sawada and I was the chosen boss of our allied family from the Flame wielders mafia, Vongola. My tutor was the well-known Arcobaleno hitman, Reborn, and my father being the CEDEF leader, Iemitsu Sawada. During the trials of becoming Decima, I gained… I gained…"

Yuki started to tremble, with anger and sorrow, gritting her teeth. Then breathing in and out slowly, she slowly calmed herself down.

"I gained guardians that I was able to care. Or so what I THOUGHT. After the trials were over, one by one, those 'friends' left me. Except for one…"

Tears started to come out of her eyes, making them worry and was about to stop her, until she put her hand up.

"Guys, I'm not crying because I'm mad. I'm crying because… that one exception was a child. He was and probably is still immature and arrogant… but he had a kind heart and defended me when necessary. He would always go against the rest of my 7 'friends'/ 'guardians', whenever they speak low of me. I still feel guilty for leaving him!" She sobbed, her heart beating in pain. "There were also others that cared for me the same way he did. Especially, a child who speaks Chinese, a light colored brunette and darker toned hair brunette. They cared for me so much, yet I left them!" She cried, showing her feelings that she was hiding during the hold time.

Erza eyes widened, now understanding why Yuki gave her the soft look when they were battling Jellal. She knew what it was like to leave someone you hold most. Erza eyes softened, with Lucy and Wendy, who were trying to hold back their own tears.

"*Sniff* But… The rest of the seven of my guardians…" Then Yuki's face became cold, and her eyes hardened with anger, and pain. "They turned out to be people who didn't care about me, but only themselves. Three days before I was going to go Italy, they approached me, each holding on to their weapons. I asked them what's wrong, and why they had their weapons out… only to be attacked. I was stabbed, bombed, slashed deep enough to cut some of my organs, and brutally abused with tonfas. And their reason… was because I dragged into the mafia. But it was my tutor and my father who chose them… Yet I was blame… I had to be their stress relief…. I was UNWANTED by the people that I cared about. I tried MY BEST to protect from being dragged into the dark…The dark I faced ALONE. But, they thought I was just pulling them in WITH ME. Thus I was killed… by their hands." She growled, trembling with anger. "I was given the second chance to live by Prima Mavis of FairyTail, and Primo Giotto of Vongola. And that is why I'm here, and that is how I became the person I am right now."

Everyone was shocked, especially Natsu. Wendy and Happy ended up crying, Lucy trying to calm both of the down, while holding back her anger. Erza, Gray, and Natsu trembled in anger. Yuki just sighed and was about to turn to leave, until she was suddenly hugged by Erza and Natsu.

"Erza-nee, Natsu-nii-!" She gasped in shock.

"We'll protect you, Yuki! If that's the last thing we do." Both said, with resolve.

She looked behind them, and saw them nodding with the same resolve. Then closing her eyes, she smiled in happiness, her heart being enveloped in warmth.

"Thank you." She whispered, hugging them back, and let a happy lone tear fall.

Time Skip~

The next day, Yuki came to Makarov's office, with her team. She already discussed her decision about their new mission with them. Even though they all try persuaded her not to accept the mission, she gave looked at them with resolve.

Flash back~

"You can't be serious, Yuki! That's where those bastards are!" Natsu yelled, pointing out the painful fact.

"I never thought I'd be agreeing with hot-head. But he's right, you shouldn't accept it." Gray growled, with worry and anger in his eyes.

The others nodded, after all, hearing her past and being good friends and 'family', they didn't want her to be hurt again.

Yuki just shook her head with a sigh, until she looked at them with a smile on her face.

"I know, but I think it's time that I get over that. Plus, my mom is still stuck there." Yuki said, with determination. Her voice held no room for any more excuses.

Then giving up, they just nodded, while agreeing that they must be with her and guard.

Flashback Ended~

"Tsunayuki, I assume you have your answer." Makarov said, with seriousness in his voice, though already knowing what her answer would probably be.

"Yes, Makarov," Yuki replied, only saying his name when she is serious as well. "I have decided that my team and I will be accepting the mission."
