Night after their performance, Reborn immediately disappeared. Mysteria and Shing went to the group to have a small chat with them.
"How's our performance?" Shing asked Fon. Fon nod with a smile, "It was good master, I didn't even know you can sing."
Shing chuckle a bit, "That was nothing, I'm still an amateur than her." He said while pointing their Sky Arcobaleno. Mysteria glared the Chinese Arcobaleno, "Shut up Shing"
"So where did Uncle Reborn go?" Yuni questioned as she looked around to find her teenager uncle. Myateria answered, "He immediately went out to rest. I can actually tell he's tired. He usually does that after his performance."
"He will do that because of your sadistic training. Can't you at least easy on him? I always see he's dying every single day." Shing said in concern. Mysteria smirked, "Idiot, if he can't survive on my training, he will surely die in the future. He might never meet this people if he can't become a famous number one fighter."
They all stayed quiet for a bit before Yuni asked her. "Mysteria-san… do you know that Uncle Reborn will…"
Mysteria stayed silence for a second before answering, "I do Yuni. For the first time I laid my eyes on him, I can already tell his future without me having a Vision like you. Yuni he will still be chosen to become part of the Arcobaleno whenever he like it or not… whenever he met me or not… he needs to be chosen, same to all of you."
"What do you mean by that?" Viper asked, venom on his tone can be heard as well.
Mysteria gave a serious answer, "The Trinisette. You people were chosen already, after you all were given birth. You all are destined, every parallel world was. It's like fated…" Mysteria observed everyone for a minute then smirked, "I don't really understand too much complicated concept but… oh well."
Tsuna asked, "Does he know about Arcobaleno?"
"No, he don't." Mysteria immediately answered. "Never tell him anything about Arcobaleno, we able to keep this for so long and we'll always will until our death. Don't give him pain than he already has."
"But without telling him will make things worse. Making our younger self aware about their coming future was also a good way for us to escape such fate." Lal said, telling them her point.
Shing gave their point, "That might be true but as Mysteria said, you were all fated. You will just make things go complicated even more. Beside, Mysteria won her bet for all of you so there's no future changes to be done."
"Bet?" Skull questioned. Myateria answered, "I did something to make things go ready. The only thing I'm betting is for someone to realize such fact and it did, thanks to you Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Me?" Tsuna pointed himself, surprised on the sudden called to his name. Myteria nodded, "I gave a blue print to Talbot what could create a sphere to trap the Arcobaleno's power within it and told him never make that until someone requested it. It was you, right?"
"Then if you know about how to remove the curse? Why didn't you do it yourselves and free yourselves from the curse?" Verde asked in curiosity.
"Because to end the endless curse, we need to die and make you people become the next generation." Mysteria simply answered and Shing elaborated more, "Mysteria my never have a power to see vision but she has an ability to see memories, I know you all know that right?" They nodded so Shing continued, "Mysteria also gain a power to see other future parallel world through the power of all seven Pacifier,. In other words, using the power of Trinisette. With that we able to see all future parallel world. There are indeed world where we didn't become Arcobaleno, there were also world where I haven't met you Fon, same to Mysteria to Reborn." They turned to Mysteria for a bit then return back to him. "As we all watch other parallel world, there is something that we had seen. We don't know if it was a coincidence or not but in all future parallel world, we had seen all of you became the next generation Arcobaleno." Shing explained which surprised them.
"All of us... in all parallel world?" Skull said in disbelief.
Mysteria and Shing nod. "That was the reason why it has to end on your generation. All parallel world must be connected and use that connection to destroy the curse, more like sealing it." Mysteria summarized the whole thing.
They all stayed quiet for a bit until Tsuna asked.
"Does that mean no matter what world, Reborn and the others will become infants, right?"
"True, although there are other parallel world where there are bit changes in The Sky Arcobaleno." Mysteria said.
Yuni asked this time, "Mind filling us to that?" Mysteria pulled down her hat and explained, "There are world where the girl name Aria was not accepted as the next Arcobaleno from Luche, there are world where you are not an Arcobaleno Yuni. Why? Because there is someone who is also fit to become the next Sky Arcobaleno."
"Who?" Fon asked. Mysteria pointed the person, "You."
They were shock it was Tsuna.
"Me? Fit for becoming a Sky Arcobaleno?" Tsuna asked in disbelief. Both Mysteria and Shing nodded as answer.
"Either to become a Vongola boss or Arcobaleno boss. There are even world where you took both responsibility. I am actually impressed." Shing commented which made Tsuna pale. Mysteria chuckle, "Well let's not worry about that now since it was already past and long over. The other parallel world is free from the Arcobaleno curse thanks to your time line. For now…" She stood up, "It was almost midnight, how about you all go to rest for today."
They glanced to each other and nodded, agreeing. Mysteria went to Viper and whispered.
"I told everything about you to Raven. She's shocked and went hiding somewhere to her room. Would you mind accompanying your mother for me? She needs it."
Viper was shocked to hear and immediately nod. Mysteria hid her gladness that he agreed.
She glanced to everyone, "Now follow me, Shing you know what to do."
Shing nodded and they followed Mysteria.
They went on the back side of the Tavern which was their home. Shing led Viper to Raven's room as for the rest were following her. They went to the second floor and noticed only one door was there. Mysteria explained.
"The second floor is our room. Its also our meeting place and so on. It was the biggest place for all of you to fit on." Mysteria opened the door and let them in.
The living room was spacious and everything were simple and fine wall color. There were three doors ahead. Another door on the far side, there was even a kitchen and dining room.
Mysteria pointed the door on the side, "This room is our visitor's room. We only have one and the bed is big enough so I think two girls there are fine. Is that okay you two?"
Lal and Yuni nod. "Thank you Mysteria-san." Yuni said in gratitude.
Mysteria nodded then turned to the rest, "You boys will sleep here. We have enough mattress so it will make your sleep comfortable. Tsuna you will sleep in my room." Mysteria said as she pointed the door of her room which is on the left side of the three doors.
"Eh? N-no need Mysteria-san, I can sleep with them." Tsuna protested but Mysteria chuckle, "It's fine for me to give a VIP on Reborn's future lover and beside, I have work to do that I won't be sleeping here. That's why my room is available for you to stay."
"Work?" Colonnello questioned. Mysteria just smirk, stating something obvious. Shing arrived on the room and reminded, "Mysteria we'll be late on work."
"Give me 30 minutes preparation Shing. How's the two?" Mysteria asked.
Shing smiled, "Looks like they're doing well. I told Raven she won't be coming on our job and she agreed." Mysteria nodded, "Good, she can protect them while we're gone."
"Busy for something?" Fon asked his teacher.
"Something like that." Shing shrug. he glanced to Mysteria and question, "By the way, have you check Reborn?"
"Now I think of it, I still haven't." Mysteria said then turned around and went to Reborn's room which is on the right of the three doors. Shing followed. Out of curiosity, everyone followed the two.
Mysteria carefully opened the door and went in with Shing. They checked the room and surprise on what they had seen. There's a large amount of books on the shelves, on the side were many kinds of weapon and on the other side was… paintings?
Reborn was sleeping soundly but it seems because of his exhaustion, he just put himself on the bed and immediately sleep. Mysteria sigh.
"He'll catch a cold if I leave him like this. Shing carry him." Mysteria ordered and Shing comply as he carried him up slowly. Mysteria raised the blanket up on the bed and Shing slowly put him down to his bed. Mysteria put the blanket around him and pat his head slowly. "Sweet dreams Reborn."
Mysteria and Shing looked back and saw them looking on the paintings. Both smiled and went to them.
"Was this your first time seeing Reborn's paintings?" Mysteria asked which they all found it questioning.
"Uncle Reborn's paintings?"
Shing nodded, "Reborn paints. He's actually good at it and look all his creation, wonderful right?" he commented.
They were all indeed wonderful. His paintings were all scenery and some were people walking around, war and so on. They saw the paintings of all of them, the current Arcobaleno, including himself. They smile as how each one of these paintings had tremendous feelings just by looking at them. All the paintings has an 'R' on the side, must be his own signature to his paintings.
"So, does Reborn still paint on your time?" Shing asked in curiosity that made everyone stop.
Thinking back, they never saw the ex-Hitman paint. They only saw him standing around, watching, drinking his favorite espresso and so on, nothing about him painting.
Mysteria who was observing gave a heavy sigh and pulled down her hat. "Shing I think Reborn had stop painting when we disappeared, none of this people ever saw him paint or even his paintings."
Shing was shock and then turn to silence. He was sad and angry. They wanted to be with him until they can fully say he can already move on without any of them but… looks like they gave too much pain that made him stop painting.
Mysteria can see how he felt and spoke to everyone, "Let's go out now before he wakes up."
They didn't answer but quietly walk out the room, leaving Reborn to rest.
Soon, Mysteria gave them the mattress with blankets from the visitor's room. Shing excused himself after telling his good night to everyone. After that, Mysteria opened her room for Tsuna which he found things simple. There's no stuff toys and such. It was just a plain room but had a big bed.
"Is my room okay to you Tsuna? There is not much girly stuff here so it's fine." Mysteria told him. Tsuna smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
Mysteria nodded back then went to her drawer to take something out. Tsuna sat on her bed and observed what she's doing. She took out her long jacket and wore it and so is her Silver Gun. She checked her gun if it's ready and fine then she went on the side on the bed to take her katana and put it on her waist.
"So the job you were talking about was some kind of assassination." Tsuna said as he observed her. Mysteria smirked on the statement, "Looks like Reborn had taught you well, although he only gave you mild training."
"Mild training?" Tsuna questioned.
"Don't mind it. Just rest Tsuna, tomorrow you will be with Reborn after our session." Mysteria said as she took some bullets. Tsuna just nod. Mysteria seems ready and was about to left the room when he suddenly asked. "Umm… Can you tell me about… Reborn?"
Mysteria glanced him for a moment then gave a small smile, "I guess that's fine."
Mysteria went beside him and sat down. That's when she began to tell him about Reborn.
"Reborn was born son Aristocrat here in Italy. One of the riches and strongest, although they have no idea about the underground world such as mafia, they all lived happily, even him… until he became four years old..."
She trailed off while Tsuna listen. She took a deep breath and continued.
"A certain famiglia attack the mansion and killed each one of them, including Reborn's father and many other servants. His mother was carrying him on the middle of fire on their mansion and put him on the secret passage where he can be stayed hidden. She said her last word before closing it, not letting him escape. Reborn cried in pain after that, much worse when he witness one of those famiglias killed his mother, by shooting her heart."
Tsuna was shocked, was that Reborn's past? That cruel past!?
"After that, he swore revenge and tried to find them even if he will just walk to his own grave. He kept wondering on the streets alone, hungry, weak, broken… many had thought the Aristocrat's family are completely wiped out but no one ever knew about the child which is Reborn himself. He kept on wondering until… he had witness me killing some people in the middle of the dark alley. I'm on the mission of eliminating some drug dealers and so I did but never expect some kid will witness it and instead of running away, he found it wonderful, really I don't understand him on that time."
Mysteria gave a small laugh as she recalled that time. Tsuna was bit surprise to see her laughing but understood her.
"After seeing him, you took him right?" Tsuna asked which she immediately answered, "No."
Mysteria looked away and explained, "I didn't take him, I just left him there and of course not letting him knows me. I thought that would be our last time meeting but I was wrong. He found me again here in this this very Tavern and told me to train him. I refuse at first but his determination became too fascinating for me, so I decide to see that determination of his after I tested him. I left him on the snowy field for two years and three months."
Tsuna was surprised on what he had heard. "What!? You left him there all alone!?"
Mysteria smirked "Not just that, I also throw him on the island and told him to come back here and see if he can. It took him eight months to come back and seeing his determination still there, I had accepted him to become my student and ever since I had been training him in harsh way and so on."
Tsuna felt like fainting at the same time doing some kind of rampage after hearing them. That was too harsh, Reborn never done that to him and thinking back, Reborn's teacher was more like a sadistic one than him.
Mysteria chuckle on sight, "In age of four his family vanished, he lived on the street for a year and took my test for almost two years… he had truly lived harsh. He still seeks his revenge and I know he will get what he truly wanted on the right time. Because from your memories, I can see he no longer seek revenge."
Tsuna was somehow agreed to that. On the day they met, he never felt malice on something or hatred on every mafia he met. Reborn had already succeeded in his goal before he met him.
Mysteria gave a small smile, "So Tsuna, do you still want to learn more?"
Tsuna shook his head, "No, I'm thankful on the information you gave to me. He really had gone too much trials and sad memories. After knowing that, I don't even know how can I make him happy if ever he was still… alive." Tsuna became sad as he remember his Reborn was already dead.
Mysteria rub her right hand to his back, comforting him. "Tsuna if ever he was alive, your presence are enough for him." Tsuna shook his head, "Then why did he left? Maybe my presence is not enough that he had to leave and return back… dead."
"Your acting a girl now Tsuna." Mysteria commented which made Tsuna flinch. It was good because the young lad was about to cry but her words made it stop.
Mysteria took out her handkerchief and wipe it to his eyes, "There was actually a reason why he had left and wanting you not to know it. Even it pains him, he has to leave for you."
"What do you mean?" Tsuna questioned. Mysteria gave her handkerchief to him, "This is not a moment for you to know. Rest now Tsuna, you have a long day tomorrow."
Mysteria stood up and walked away.
Tsuna wanting to ask more question but stop. He knows that he can still see her tomorrow so he will tomorrow. "Good Night Mysteria-san."
Mysteria nod as her reply and left the room.
Next day morning, someone sneak in on the room where Verde, Colonnnello and Skull still sleeping. They saw the person who was sneaking in, it's Elaine. They were about to question her but stop when she put her index finger to her lips, telling them to be quiet.
Elaine continues to sneak in to… Reborn's room. The three found it questioning as they followed. Tsuna walked out to Mysteria's room and saw the three were looking on Reborn's room. On curiosity, he went to them and looks on what they were looking and a bit surprised that Elaine was there beside Reborn's bed.
She took a deep breath before doing her morning ritual, "WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!"
Elaine began smashing the bed, cutting and so more which they all found it surprising and fear on the beast trying to kill the sleeping Reborn just to wake him up.
"What's with the noise?"
The four turn around and saw Yuni and Lal. They were shock on what they had witness.
"Must be Elaine's Morning Ritual." Surprise that Mysteria had already joined them.
"Morning Ritual? Are you sure about that?" Colonnello asked as he point on the beast destroying the bed. Mysteria gave a sigh and then yelling, "Elaine are you destroying the bed or what!?"
Elaine finally stopped and turns around to see them. "Oh Everyone good morning" she greeted happily. Mysteria face palm, "Now we need to buy a new bed for Reborn. Also, are you sure you're waking him up? I don't see him around."
Elaine turned around and saw no Reborn on sight. Someone came out on the center door and it was Reborn who had finished his bath.
"Good Morning Reborn, good job waking up earlier than her." Mysteria commented with a smirk.
Reborn sigh tiredly, "If ever want to meet another day, I had to wake up earlier than I usually do." Reborn sigh once again and finally asked, "Is my bed destroyed again?"
"It is..." Mysteria answered and turned to Elaine who shivered because of her deadly glare. "Go and buy another bed, same size and texture. As punishment you will use your own money."
"Y-Yes ma'am!" Elaine shouted and run away from the room.
Mysteria sighed and walked away. Reborn yawn, still sleepy. "I wanted to take a quick nap but my bed is gone… sigh..."
'So Reborn also experience this kind of treatment… much worse than what he did to me.' Tsuna thought as he looked to Reborn and the destroyed bed.
They somehow pity a teenager Reborn.
They thought that was all over but it wasn't. They soon witness the way Mysteria train Reborn, they all can only describe her in one word, 'DEMON'.
She's more sadistic than Reborn they had known, much worse trainer than Reborn and much Demon than Reborn (Put the scary fact too). They can only pity the teenager Reborn from his training.
Mysteria throw Reborn in the middle of the boiling lava just below the volcano, next was a frenzy shark and next was being drag by speeding Leopards and so on. Not once they heard Reborn complain to her training. The one who was doing that was Rick who was with them, he was the doctor and he was the one treating Reborn after his training.
Mysteria never mind his concern or his protest, she kept observing Reborn on how far he can go on to his training. After all the training, Reborn was completely beat and can no longer stand. Mysteria checked the time to see its still early but let the training end.
"Rick after treating him, I want you to return back on the Tavern to have a little meeting." Mysteria ordered then left.
"What? You won't help me treating him?" Rick asked but Mysteria ignored it. Rick sigh, "Why won't she take an easy on him? He's still a child for goodness sake."
"Don't call me child perverted doctor." Reborn said, glaring in his killing intent aura. Rick had felt it and flinched, "Oh still awake?"
Reborn didn't answer to that. Rick just sighs, relief that he had survive from her Hellish Training. Rick then starts treating him.
"Reborn are you alright?" The concern Tsunayoshi asked.
Reborn looked at him for a minute and nod.
'Why the heck Reborn, can you at least protest to her? Or is he afraid from her that if he disobeyed, his training will be much worse than that.' Colonnello thought in concern that he will never admit in his entire life.
"I plan on making myself become stronger for my goal so if it means going on the death training I will. I don't want to enter to her demonic side so don't even try disobeying or fighting her." Reborn answered him which surprise Colonnello.
"How do you know what I was thinking?" Colonnello asked.
"Your just easy to read." a deadpan answer of Reborn.
'Reborn haven't change then!' A surprise Tsuna yelled in his mind. Reborn now found it confusing.
Later, Rick went away as he able to pursue the other Arcobaleno to come with him as well. Reborn stay for a while, leaving him only with Tsunayoshi. Vongola Decimo became nervous around him, since this is his love's teenager version.
"So who really are you people? Just what secret does Sensei keeping from me? Mind answering?" Reborn asked as he broke the silence.
Tsuna flinch on his seriousness. Observing him carefully, Reborn truly not wanted to be kept on the dark. Tsuna sigh in defeat and told him about them, except the Arcobaleno part.
Reborn at first was surprise but then accepted him. "I see, I think that makes sense."
"You believe me?" Tsuna asked in disbelief.
Reborn looked at him eye to eye, "I sense no lies to every word and I can tell you're also not lying at all. If ever you were faking it, Sensei may already shot you and your companions to death but instead you're all accepted and much more gave you the place to stay. I knew the tour thing is suspicious and now I see why."
Tsuna was glad that he had believed his explanation.
"Thank you." Tsuna said, happy that somehow, he able to talk to Reborn once again.
"No need to be thank with, Tsunayoshi." Reborn said and looked away. "So, do you know me from the future? The way you people looked at me was bit creepy."
Tsuna was taken aback, he found them creepy? That's new for Reborn.
"We-well… y-yeah, we knew you, we had met and so is everyone… we all had met you." Tsuna said, deep on his tone was sadness.
Reborn observing him sigh, "From the way you talk, something happened to me right?"
"Eh?"
"I can only think of two possibilities, Illness or Dead." Tsuna gripped his hand, it hit the word 'Dead'. "Looks like I was right..." Reborn said and lay down the ground. "Dead huh, that explains it."
Tsuna question him, "Won't you ask on how or why?"
"No need, I have a possibility in mind. I know that thing is the only thing that could kill me." Tsuna found it questioning and asked. "What do you mean Reborn?"
Reborn stayed quiet for a while then looked up on the sky. "No longer your problem Tsunayoshi. The important question for me right now is whenever have I succeed on my goal before I die or not."
"Your goal? You mean taking revenge?" Tsuna questioned. Reborn narrowed his eyes, "How do you know that?"
"Mysteria-san told me about your past. Only me, the others doesn't know."
"Good and keep it to yourself, I don't want people hunting me again. I'm not ready yet but ones I do, I will be the one hunting them."
"Is that the reason why you named yourself as Reborn?"
" 'Reborn'… just as the word says. I will reborn as a new person and get my revenge."
"Just what can you gain from Revenge Reborn? You know that-"
"I can actually see you're planning of giving revenge on someone who killed me right?" Reborn said which hit Tsuna. He was indeed thinking about that, he can't forgive that person, whoever killed him, and he swore he will kill him for Revenge. "We gain nothing from revenge but some do, justice. For me… I just want to make my parents and everyone rest in peace. Whenever they approve my action or not I don't care, I will end everything, until my mind can rest for them."
"Reborn" Tsuna became silence, can't argue anymore because everything he had said… was right.
Reborn return back looking at the sky. He closed his eyes, thinking about something… deeply.
Reborn stood up to his spot and look to Tsuna, "Let's go back Tsunayoshi, I had enough rest."
Tsuna watched him for a moment then nodded. He stood up and Reborn walked away, Tsuna called him.
"Reborn!" Reborn stopped his tract to hear him, "If ever your revenge is finished… will you return back and live in your real name or… stays as Reborn…"
Reborn thought for a while, finding no answer, he just replied to him, "Who knows" Tsuna smiled weakly, "I hope you will live Reborn, in your real name."
Tsuna walked away, passing Reborn who was shocked for some reason. Reborn narrowed his eyes on Vongola Decimo, suspicious look in place.
'Who are you? … By chance… do you know my Real name?'
I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn
