The teenager Reborn went beside Mysteria and sat on the empty sit. Elaine quickly made his usual drink for him.
"Here Reborn." Elaine said as she gave the glass of milk to Reborn.
Reborn nod as thanks and began drinking it. He actually prefer things like coffee but because of that, he need to drink milk instead in order to survive.
"How's the Ballroom Lesson Reborn?" Mysteria asked as she drinks her glass. Finishing his drink, Reborn sigh. "I did perfectly as I promised, although I still don't understand why I should learn Ballroom Sensei."
Mysteria smirked, "You'll find out in near future."
Reborn sigh again and looked on the other occupant on the side, wide eyes and shock. Reborn kept staring at them until he remembered where he first met them.
"Oh, you're the people stalking me back on the plaza, never expect I'll meet you all here." Reborn said, not liking on seeing them at all.
"You know them?" Elaine question as he tilt her head.
"Just met them." Reborn answered.
Mysteria smirked as she asked, "Did they think you were a girl?" That made them blush in embarrassment. Reborn sighed and answered, "Yeah... Sensei can I just cut this long hair?"
"Not until you turn eighteen. Your fifteen now, wait three more years." Mysteria simply said. Reborn frown, "Fine"
Mysteria secretly glanced on the Arcobaleno group, they can't believe that's how the teenager Reborn looked like. It's like it was not even him at all. The one who's emotional was Tsuna. He wanted to hold his tears from falling, he's holding back his pain.
Doranbolt soon came with the other food and brought it to them. Elaine also gave their alcohols and returned back.
Mysteria gave a small smile, having an idea. "Reborn I want you to escort them around town."
Reborn raised his eyebrow, the ex-Arcobalenos were confuse but still surprise.
"What?" Reborn was completely confuse, why escort them?
"They actually pay for a tour guide and there is something I must do so I can't do the job, mind doing it? You're free until evening." Mysteria told him.
Reborn narrowed his eyes on her. "Sensei are you speaking the truth? This is a tavern not a tourist spot."
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Mysteria gave him a serious look.
Reborn shrinked in fear before looking to both Elaine and Doranbolt who nodded, telling him it's the truth. Reborn sigh, can no longer argue back.
"Fine." Reborn finally answered.
Mysteria smirked and drinked her glass. Reborn stood up and went to the group.
Reborn introduced himself to them. "My name is Reborn, I'll be the one who will guide you around."
The ex-Arcobaleno including Tsuna were quiet, still registering everything on the sudden event. Reborn found it questioning as he raise his eye brow.
"What's wrong?" Reborn asked but receive no answer.
Mysteria chuckled before calling him out, "Let them eat first before giving them a tour Reborn. Here." She threw something which caught by Reborn and used it to tie his hair, making it in its pony tail style.
Reborn return back to his sit and silently wait for them to start eating and finish it. Not ones he look them, his only mind was finishing the job which was given by his Sensei.
Later the tour started as Reborn took them around town and pointing some places as he explains them. The ex-Arcobaleno still can't believe the person in front of them was the teen version Reborn. Tsuna on the other hand had two feelings: One he was happy to see his beloved Reborn again and the other was sad because they were from the future, that would mean once he return back, he's no longer there see him again.
As Reborn tell them around the town, some people greeted him which they found it questioning. The people who were greeting Reborn were calling him 'Rihan'. Reborn saw their confusion so he explained.
"Rihan is my alias name as a performer from our Tavern. We'll be performing tonight so if you want to watch then go ahead."
"What do you perform Uncle… ahhh… Reborn?" Yuni asked, interested since their Reborn never told them anything about his past.
Reborn faced her and smirked, "Come and know it yourself."
They stayed quiet for a while, shouting in their minds.
'IS THIS REALLY REBORN!?'
"Ahh… Reborn can you tell us a bit about yourself?" This time, Tsuna asked.
Reborn studied them carefully then told them a bit about himself, "I live there ever since I was finally accepted by Sensei to be her student. That was when I was eight. I'm learning how to fight such as hand-to-hand combat, shooting, knives, katanas and so forth. I study under her since I don't go to school."
"Why won't you go to school?" Lal asked.
"Because I can't. I won't tell much more than that." Reborn answered.
"Then why do you want to learn how to fight?" Fon asked. Reborn stayed quiet for a while before answering his question, "To take my revenge on the people who massacred us."
That shocked them ones again. Massacred? Reborn's parents? It was unbelievable, to think the number one Hitman could have such tragic past… they never knew.
Reborn pause for a moment as he realized what he had done, slowly turning around to check the people he's guiding he's quite surprise. They were showing sadness and pity, why? It's not like they know each other to pity him. Thinking back, why did he answer their question? He shook his head, erasing the thought. He decided not to say anymore or he might say something that must not be said.
"Let's go." Reborn said coldly before turning around and walked away. They looked each other before following him.
The tour soon ended after two hours. They returned back on the Tavern and surprised that more people were added. A man in doctor coat, a man wearing Chinese red traditional clothes, another man wearing normal t-shirt and short pants and a woman wearing violet hood, her eyes can't be seen due to the hood.
"Oh Reborn, that's early for you to arrive" Elaine said as she saw him.
"It's been a while Reborn" The man in Chinese clothes greeted, happy to meet him.
"Same here Shing" Reborn greeted back.
"Looks like you have becoming stronger Reborn, so, wanna have a spar with me?" the man in t-shirt said.
Reborn smirk on the offer, liking it.
"Rebornchii! Wanna hear my another-" Before the man on the doctor's outfit continue, the woman on her violet hood immediately knock him out. "Say another word or else idiot!" She's irritated for some reason.
The doctor immediately recover and was about to speak when he was cut off by a dangerous voice.
"Hoy Lackey shut up or I'll blow you in thousand holes." threaten by Mysteria which made him shut up.
Skull pity the guy, understanding his situation because he too was being treated like that.
Mysteria checked the time for a second then turn to Reborn and smirked, "Since it's still early, how about a quick exercise Reborn. Run hundred times around town for three hours."
"What!?" Reborn was surprised on the sudden running, much more hundred times town and for only three hours.
"If you didn't able to get the acquired round and return back in time, expect for worst punishment Reborn." Mysteria threaten her student.
Everyone shiver on sudden dark aura.
Reborn was trembling but gave a brave look and smirk, "Fine, in one condition, tell me everything what's going on after this." The dark aura disappeared and she smirked "What are you talking about Reborn?"
"It was obvious I am again being kept on the dark." Reborn said. Mysteria hum, "So it was obvious. But I'm serious on your running."
"Will you tell me about it later?" Reborn question.
"Until the time is right." Mysteria said but Reborn was not very satisfied on her answer. She sighed then add up, "Then run and head back here in time. If you can perform well after all your hard work, I'll tell you tomorrow, how's the deal?"
"Deal!" Reborn shouted as he immediately run out, starting his run around town.
The ex-Arcobaleno just stared as he left but then was cut off when Mysteria spoke to them.
"Come in Future Arcobalenos, with Reborn not around, I think we can make a very long conversation." Mysteria said with a smirk.
They looked on each other again but comply. Soon, they all sat on their places. Mysteria was the first one to speak.
Mysteria pulled out her hat, revealing her hidden eyes which were different color. Her left eye was blue and her right eye was red. "First of is an introduction. I'm Mysteria Night, a haft Japanese and American. Reborn's teacher and guardian, also the current Sky Arcobaleno. Meet my animal partner," A leopard came out behind her, growling "Leo."
They were shock on what they had heard. Mysteria showed her orange pacifier which was inside on some kind of clear cube. The others continued as they also showed their hidden pacifier inside on the clear cube.
"I'm Doranbolt the Cloud Arcobaleno , my animal partner Priko." His animal partner came out, it was a cat, yawning and his color fur was orange. "And my wife,"
"Elaine the Rain Arcobaleno. My animal partner's name is Din." a white dove landed to her hands.
"I'm Shing the Storm Arcobaleno, and my animal partner Reach." A monkey came out behind him. He turned to Fon and smiled, "It was nice to see you again Fon." the man in the Chinese clothes said.
Fon who finally recognize him gave respect as he bow to him. "It was very nice to see you again master." The man named Shing smiled, "Same here, so this is what you looked like when you grow up, you became handsome as I had expected to be."
"Thank you." Fon said, happy to see his old master again.
"Ehem… I'm Silver the Sun Arcobaleno and my animal partner Bell. Come out guys!" The man on t-shirt said as full of bees came out around him. This guy looks cheerful.
The doctor finally recovered as he stood up as if nothing happened and introduce himself, "I'm the great doctor Rick the most wonderful and magnificent-"
"Add the most perverted, useless and weakest among all of us and my Lackey man. The Lightning Arcobaleno and his animal partner, Rush." Mysteria ended his wonderful statement.
"M-Mysteria!" the man named Rick shouted, not linking his introduction was cut by her. His animal partner came out to his shoulder which is… a cockroach.
The woman in the hood sighs and introduced herself to them. "I'm Raven the Mist Arcobaleno and my animal partner Plasma." A snake on her neck till up to bows his head a bit for greetings.
"Also, she doesn't like sunlight which we don't know why so expect for her to be creepy sometimes." Silver added which earns him a devil aura from Raven.
Mysteria sighed and then faced them. "Now we introduce ourselves, why don't you guys introduce yourselves to us. After that we can have a nice chat."
Yuni nodded and introduce herself first. "I'm Yuni, an ex-Arcobaleno of the Sky."
"How many generation?" Elaine asked. Yuni answered, "Third."
"I'm Colonnello the Rain ex-Arcobaleno and this is Lal my wife."
"Lal Mitch, I became an incomplete Arcobaleno because he tried to cover me. I'm supposed to be a Rain Arcobaleno in his place." Lal added.
Viper sighed, "Mammon, Mist ex-Arcobaleno."
"His real name was Viper." Colonnello added which Viper gave a hidden glare on the blond.
Fon took a deep breath calmly before introducing himself, "I'm Fon, the ex-Arcobaleno of Storm, please to meet you."
Verde pull up his glasses, "I'm the mad scientist Verde, the Lightning ex-Arcobaleno."
Skull gave a proud post, "I'm the Great Immortal Skull, the Cloud ex-Arcobaleno and-"
"That's enough" Colonnello cut him which irritate Skull as he was about to protest when Lal glared, making him stun in fear.
Tsuna who was watching sigh and introduce himself with a small smile, "I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, you may call me Tsuna. In my time, I'm known as Vongola Decimo. Please to meet you."
Mysteria observed Tsuna for a moment then smirked. She stood up from her sit and went to him. Tsuna became nervous for some reason, why is she staring at him? Mysteria soon grin and hug him tightly.
"I never expect to meet Reborn's Lover in my entire life!" Mysteria shouted in happiness.
That earned Doranbolt and the others confusion at the same time, thinking the end of the world is near. They never saw her act like that, even to Reborn, no one!
"Ehhh?" Tsuna was confused as well. Mysteria freed him with a smile, "You love Reborn correct?"
Tsuna earns redness on his cheek, it can already compare to its color to the tomato.
"H-How did you-" Before Tsuna could complete his question, Mysteria answered immediately, "Because I know. You kept staring at Reborn, you have conflict feelings inside you whenever you're seeing him and…"
Mysteria whispered to his ears which only Tsuna could hear, "You knew his real name." Tsuna was shock, how did she know so much in such a short time? Before he could voice it out, Mysteria whispered. "Don't tell to anyone, remember your promise. Never tell anyone his real name. No one except me knew his real name."
Tsuna was shock for a minute then nod. Mysteria smiled and went behind him and hug him.
"You're a very lucky man Tsuna, for you to captured Reborn's heart was actually hard to do." Mysteria said happily.
Elaine who was still quiet finally spoke, "M-Mysteria, are you saying that Reborn had fallen in love to a man?"
Mysteria nod which earns them a surprise.
"WHY THE HECK! I mean HOW? WHY!?" Doranbolt shouted, can't believe on what he had heard.
Mysteria was also thinking before giving a glare to someone, it was Rick.
"What?" Rick questioned.
"Maybe because of your perverted mouth that made him become like that. Remember, you are the reason why our Reborn was phobia-tic to woman." Mysteria said, very angry.
'Reborn has phobia to girls?' Yuni and the others questioned. They remember him like going with other woman and even earn some girlfriend. They think it was a lie.
Elaine and the others gave a deadly glare on Rick. Rick was terrified and about to run but was caught and without warning, they all gave a beating on the poor doctor. Mysteria didn't mind at all.
Mysteria looked to Tsuna and said "Seeing your memories, I think Reborn had already overcome his phobia to woman and soon used his looks as his weapon to have fun and work. I'm glad he did."
Tsuna and the others looked to her questioning.
Mysteria then smirk and explained to them. "I don't have the natural power of the Arcobaleno which is to see the future through vision but I have a power to see people's memories. The reason why I kept staring at your group was because I'm reading all your memories. That is also how I learned you were all from the future, Arcobaleno and Reborn. Of course, that guy's lover."
They were shock on what she had said to them.
"Then I'm sure you have seen our Funeral to Reborn then." Verde said.
Mysteria's smirk disappeared and gave a nod. "He died on the place he made a grave for us and also put his grave there to be with us… I'd like to say thank you on my student's behalf but… I hate the way he died, he suffered until the end of his life."
"He… suffered?" Tsuna questioned.
Mysteria gave him a sad smile and told him "He left you, he suffered because of it. I can actually tell from the image of your memories. Tsuna… he died crying in pain."
Tsuna was shocked, so much that he cried. The person he loved, Reborn died in pain. Why? Why does he have to die?
Mysteria who can see that made up something to her mind. She gave comfort to Tsuna and looked on the others and said "You all want to return back in time right? Since you all people have no clue how to return back, you may stay here with us for a while."
Yuni gave a nod and a small smile "Thank you."
Mysteria nod and focus on the crying Tsuna. Fon and Yuni also went to him to give comfort.
'This guy really gains too much soft side to Reborn. He became like a girl when he cries.' Mysteria thought as she looked to Tsuna.
Soon, night came and Reborn just come back in time before he was late. He was really tired and sweating.
"Oh welcome back Reborn" Shing greeted as he talk to Fon.
"Welcome back" Fon greeted with a smile.
Reborn only just nod and looked around. More costumers were there and having fun, drinking and so on. Elaine went to Reborn.
"Reborn, change and get yourself a rest to refresh yourself." Elaine told him.
Reborn nod and went away. As he go, he noticed Rick was completely beat up and still haven't move and being ignored. Whenever the reason is, he doesn't want to know.
Later, Doranbolt lead Tsuna and the others to their reserve table with the other current Arcobalenos.
"Hey, does Reborn-sempai really perform?" Skull asked.
Silver replied "Yes, he is, although it was clearly a force one and so are we every time we are here. We'll be performing as well so hope you all would like it."
"What do you perform then?" Yuni questioned.
"Depends." Silver answered with a smile.
"Then how come you were all in your adult form when you all were Arcobaleno?" Verde questioned seriously.
This time, Raven answered, "You can see the clear cube inside our pacifier, this holds almost haft of our curse, making it result for us to go back to normal but the duty of the Arcobaleno is still within us. We can't escape from it."
"It was all thanks to Mysteria. She was the one who created this cube for us." Shing finished.
That made everyone surprise and gaze to Mysteria who's talking to some men costumer. She was actually entertaining them with a little chat before going. The future Arcobaleno was thinking how amazing Reborn's teacher truly is.
They all looked around again and saw Reborn entertaining the other costumers with his smile. It was obviously a force one. Tsuna was keep staring at him before he heard a voice.
"Now, our long night waiting, our guess performer, Olivia to show her wonderful voice, let's clap our hands for Olivia with my beloved wife, Elaine!" Doranbolt introduce which made everyone applaud in excitement.
Raven who was with them sigh and stood up.
"Good luck Raven." Silver cheered which she didn't respond and walk away.
"Olivia?" Yuni questioned and Silver explained. "It was Raven's alias name in the show. Her voice is so beautiful to hear which almost everyone here wanted her to keep performing but she refused."
They then saw Raven, no longer wearing her hood but wearing her indigo dress. She has violet hair and eyes. She's standing in front with Elaine behind her who will be her side voice. Viper as he looked closely somehow recognized her. The person Raven, how he can really feel he knows her.
Silver who can sense it finally asked his curiosity, "Viper right? Are you somehow related to her?" Viper turned to him, "Why ask that?"
"From what I can I see, you two looked really similar, could you perhaps be her future version child?" Silver clarified which made everyone almost jump in surprise while Viper was staring at him but hidden to that was also surprise.
Viper looked closely to Raven who was about to sing. She indeed has a beautiful voice that the entire audience stayed silence to listen. She was singing Caribbean Blue. Viper who kept listening finally made a realization.
He remembered a vivid memory about him as a child and someone singing for him. The woman with a beautiful voice, his mother. He keep on listening on her voice and it was indeed beautiful just like what he had remembered until he heard his mother's sudden disappearance and never came back. His father hated him and soon run away from the home, away from his father, away from his last beautiful memories about his mother.
He thought at first his mother had left them that he grew hatred from his mother. Now its disappearing. When she introduces herself to them, she's the Mist Arcobaleno, holder of the curse and one of the holder balances of the trinisette. Because of that curse, she died. He finally understood now which he hated himself on why he had come to hate her.
Mysteria from afar gave a hidden small smile, glad that Raven's future son had realize she didn't left him in hatred but love. Not wanting to let him go but can no longer do. That's their fate as an Arcobaleno. They knew it and accepted it, for the sake of the next generation to end the cycling curse of the Arcobaleno, they are willing to die for it.
Mysteria then glance on the mopping Rick. He too had a son and wife but left them. He had told his wife to tell to his son he had died which his wife refuse to accept but in the end, she has no choice but to do so. His wife knew about them as an Arcobaleno and their curse which pains her. Rick continue watching over them from afar, husband to his wife and stranger to his son.
"Mysteria is there something wrong?" Shing asked as he went to her.
Mysteria didn't answer but Shing understood why and what she is thinking so let her be.
After Raven and Elaine's performance, they all applaud on how beautiful it is. They were asking for encores but were cut by Doranbolt who spoke in front of their mini stage.
"Thank you so much Olivia and my wonderful wife, now it's time for our quattro performers to show off. Wanna know who they are?"
The audience were excited on the next performers, after all, two of those four were their favorite performers other than 'Olivia'.
"Now time to show off!" Doranbolt shouted which made everyone shouted.
"Time for me to go guys, watch and have fun." Silver winked before leaving.
They turned back on the stage and saw Shing on the left side, ready. Silver arrived and went to the right to get ready and on the center of the two, Mysteria.
Mysteria smirked as she pull up a bit of her hat, "Now let's begin!"
The music then starts as they also start singing and dancing on the beat of the song.

In middle of their performance, the three moves on the side to on the center, Reborn appeared to join the three and sing as he dance with them.
Reborn:
