Vongola Mansion and as the contract said, the Vongola had kicked out Marfred as their next candidate boss without any hesitation. Everyone doesn't like him being a next boss, they also know that they need to find a new candidate boss but they believe that somewhere, a rightful boss will show up for them.
Night, Gokudera went to his room, feeling tired on all the paper work he had done on this day. He was about to take off his coat when he noticed a letter on his desk. He looked on the letter and took it. He doesn't remember anything about taking a letter and putting it there. He observes the letter and also looks on who the sender was but no one, only his name on it. He sighs as he decides to open the letter and read it.
.
Dear Vongola Storm Guardian, Gokudera Hayato
Would you like to know the truth? About the death of your beloved Sky, Sawada Tsunayoshi? If so, come to this location in time of midnight. I'll be waiting for your arrival with the other Guardians and the previews Arcobaleno.
From Checker Face
.
Gokudera saw the map on the other paper. He looked at it in suspicious, especially it was from the man called Checker Face, the one who gave the Arcobaleno curse to Reborn-san and the others. Even so, he can't help but think about the reason of why his Juudaime just left them and died. He wanted to know the reason, at least before he dies. He wanted to know everything that happened to him, how much he had failed him.
Thinking on the letter, he decides to go, even if this means a death road, just to know what happened to his Juudaime.
Next day, as what expected, he wasn't the only one who had gotten the letter. Yamamoto, Lambo, Ryohei, Hibari, Mukuro and Chrome also got a letter from Checker Face. The ex-Arcobaleno: Colonnello, Lal, Yuni, Fon, Mammon/Viper and Verde also got a letter from him.
The guardians were now discussing about whenever they should accept the invitation or not.
"What should we do Gokudera?" Yamamoto asked to him.
Gokudera, seeing everyone were waiting for his answer said "I'll go. I don't know what kind of trap this will be but I wanted to know everything happened to Juudaime before he left and then… died" he clench his fist, he still can't accept his death.
Yamamoto gave a serious look and nod "Looks like we had agreed on something Gokudera."
Gokudera looked on him for a minute then look to others. "And you all?"
"I'll go too in extreme Octopus Head" Ryohei proclaim his answer. Lambo nod, "I want to know too about what truly happen to Tsuna-nii. I'll go too Bakadera."
Gokudera nod in approval and looked on the cloud and the two mists.
Mukuro smirk, silently telling he will go. Chrome gave a determination look, also going. All then looked to the Cloud. Hibari looked at them for a minute before telling them 'Hn', meaning, he'll go. Gokudera nod to the three.
"It's decided then" Gokudera said which everyone nods on response.
They were not the only ones who had agreed to go, Yuni and all the ex-Arcobaleno had also agreed without voicing it out. They will go, just to know what truly happened to Sawada Tsunayoshi, the boy who broke their curse and also wanting to know what Checker Face was planning to do now.
On the Fiore's mansion in Raul's room, Raul was there with Nueve. Both were on the couch, staring on the letter that just came to them. Raul narrowed his eyes on the letter, he could somehow feel there was something up to on this letter. He looked to Nueve. Nueve seems suspicious on the letter, at the same time, sad for some reason.
"What are you going to do Dame Nueve?" Raul asked to his beloved person.
Nueve looked to him and closed her eyes as she rest to his shoulder. She too doesn't know if she should response to this letter or not, what should she do?
The time came and the entire Guardian including all the ex-Arcobaleno arrived on the place where Checker Face had told them. It was an old house and there was no electricity, only candle of lights. The setting of the house seems already good for horror shooting but they all never mind, knowing that Checker Face has a bad taste on everything.
They all waited patiently until finally, Checker Face or Kawahira finally showed up to them from his realm space.
"I thank you for your wait Vongola 10th's Guardian and ex-Arcobalenos." Kawahira greeted them.
They all narrowed their eyes on him, not planning on returning back the greeting. Kawahira was fine with that, he knew that these people don't trust him.
Kawahira cleared his throat and spoke. "It seems you were all curious on how the Vongola Sky, Sawada Tsunayoshi died, correct?"
"Just say to the main point Checker Face. You know something so tell us now." Fon demanded and normally, everyone would be surprise but this matter was serious so it was understandable.
Kawahira chuckle "I see. Very well then." A chair appeared to them and so was behind him. He sat on his chair and offered the other chair to them. Everyone hesitates at first but then complied, some only do as Viper, Colonnello, Mukuro and Hibari remain standing.
"Now then, let me all ask you first. Do you know about the myth of the Phoenix bird?" Kawahira asked them.
They all were thinking that he was playing around them.
"We do" Lambo was the one who answered, knowing everyone won't answer.
Kawahira smiled and ask for more, "Then, about the myth that can make any wish came true? The unknown myth, the golden phoenix."
Everyone was now glaring at him.
"We also know about that Checker Face. Now, kindly tell us why you were asking us those myth questions?" Yuni asked, more like demanded. She doesn't want to play around anymore as she wants to go to the real point of this.
Kawahira smirk, knowing what she was thinking. "Then, will you believe that myth is real?"
"What do you mean?" Gokudera asked.
"As I said, Vongola Storm, Gokudera Hayato" Kawahira said, "What if that myth was real? Will you believe on that?"
"Kufufufu telling us a myth is real, are you fooling us?" Mukuro glared as his trident came out to his hand.
"Now now Vongola Mist, Rokudo Mukuro, you all wants to know your beloved boss's real death right? We don't have time to fight one another." Kawahira told him.
"Then what does this myth has to do with the kid's death?" Colonnello asked him.
"So you all still don't get it." Kawahira said as he leaned on his chair and told them "What I'm saying is, that myth was the reason of your beloved Sky's disappearance and death."
They all looked surprise, what is he trying to say? He died only because of that myth?
"The myth of the Golden Phoenix that grants people's wish was real and true. That creature lives on another space, where no people like us could enter so easily. Even so, there are times the entrance on the creature's home opened to our world. It was every lunar eclipse. The path opened and anyone could enter there." Kawahira explained to them. "People don't know this creature because almost none of those people who attempt to meet the phoenix failed and killed. Only those who had succeed which is only counted on hands able to meet the creature and their wish granted. One was the past generation Sky Arcobaleno."
The ex-Arcobaleno was surprised. He was talking about Mysteria, the past generation Sky Arcobaleno and Reborn's teacher.
"Hmm… so you're telling us that the Vongola kid knew about this myth and left to meet this phoenix bird, right?" Verde asked if his conclusion about his explanation was true.
Kawahira smirk, "That's right."
Yamamoto laugh a bit, still, there was an evident of seriousness. "So you were saying that Tsuna went to find this wishing bird. Do you think we would believe on everything you had said?"
"I know you people won't believe me so easily, that is why I had asked someone who knew the entire story about what happened to your beloved Sky to tell you the whole story instead." Kawahira told them which they found it questioning.
They were all about to ask when the door suddenly opened, revealing two people had arrived. The man who has a black hair and eyes wearing fedora and a woman who has a rare white hair like a snow and turquoise eyes.
Kawahira smirk on their arrival, "Thank you for answering my invitation… Raul R de Fiore and Teresa Nueve."
It was indeed them.
"Aren't you-" Lal trailed off as the Guardians, including Colonnello, Fon and herself recognized.
Nueve somehow shows uneasiness and worries but tried her best to hide it and smiled. She nod "Hello, we met again."
Raul just tilts down his fedora as his greeting. The two arrivals looked to him. Raul can't help but increase his protectiveness around her and him. He still can't trust that man no matter what. Nueve was aware and kept her guard up, like Raul.
"Please, have a sit with us" Kawahira told them as the chair came out near to them.
Both looked on each other before going to their sit, separated from the others.
"I'm truly happy that you two came. I hope I didn't do something inconvenience to the two of you." Kawahira told to the two.
Raul was the one who answered, "Nothing much… now, tell us on why you called both of us here?"
"To seek answers" Kawahira answered him. "Everyone here wants answer from you, Teresa Nueve."
Nueve was shocked but then quickly composed herself. She knew what he was talking about, seeing her (his) friends was there and so are the ex-Arcobalenos. Raul narrowed his eyes on him, he too knew what he was talking about.
"They want to know about what?" Nueve asked, trying to be innocent.
Kawahira smirk and answered her, "Sawada Tsunayoshi"
Nueve knowing what he will answer sigh, can she escape from this? From the looks of things, the answer seems no. She looked on everyone on the room, they were all staring at her, waiting for her to answer. She looked down, seems hesitant and nervous. All thinking on her mind made her stop when someone grab her hand. Looking on the person, it was Raul, silently telling her everything will be alright. Nueve smile, glad on the reassurance he was giving to her.
She looked back to them and asked first, "Will you believe on everything I will about to tell you? I mean, it was very unbelievable when you heard this kind of story."
"So you indeed know" Fon clarified, and Nueve was hesitant but nod.
"Can you tell us why you know? And do you know him?" Verde asked her. Nueve on that question doesn't know what to answer.
"Not that they had met ex-Lightning Arcobaleno, Mad Scientist, Verde" Raul answered for Nueve's place. Verde narrowed his eyes on him, suspicious on how he knew about him. He followed up, "She just knew what happened to him, other than that we won't answer your question."
They all stood quiet, somehow unable to ask further on how strong aura Raul was bringing out, for her protection.
"Then, kindly tell us?" Yuni asked kindly to her.
Nueve was somehow hesitating again. "Please, tell us what happened to Bossu" Chrome pleaded her which surprise her a bit.
Nueve looked down and sigh in defeat. She looked to Kawahira and asked, "You plan this, didn't you"
Kawahira smirk, "I guess I do. I was just doing what that person told me to do."
"That person?" Raul asked.
"I will tell you soon, after you all finish on this business." Kawahira told him.
Nueve looked to Raul in worried. Raul just pats her head, telling her he was there for him. Nueve looked to them and sigh. "Fine, I'll tell you." All attention was now to her.
Nueve then began. "I'm sure the ex-Arcobaleno knew this so I will tell a short version story for all of you. If ever you have question, ask them…" The Guardian looked on the ex-Arcobaleno for a second then back to her. "It all started when all ex-Arcobaleno, including m-S-Sawada Tsunayoshi traveled back in time. It was after the Number one Hitman's death. They all traveled on the time where the past generation Arcobaleno still lives… and so is their comrade who had died."
They all understood who she was talking about. It must be the him, Reborn. She continued.
"During their stay, they had learned many things about their comrade's past. His tragic past, teenage life and so are his struggles in life. They also had found out the real reason of his death, it was because of the seed of contract that he had gain in age of twelve, including his teacher who is also a Sky Arcobaleno."
"Seed of Contract?" Gokudera questioned.
Raul answered him, "The contract between humans and Dragon Demon. Something happened that he and his teacher have to make a contract to survive."
Skull was surprise, "You know about the Seed of Contract!?" he asked and Raul didn't answer him. Nueve continued to her story.
"After those discoveries, I-Sawada Tsunayoshi was confronted by the Sky Arcobaleno and told him the secret that few only knows… the existence of the golden Phoenix that could grant any wish. Even so, making a wish has a price to pay."
"Price?" Yamamoto questioned.
"It has to be the same equivalent of the wish you will lose… now, can I ask you everyone…" Nueve looked to them in painful expression "What do you think he will wish for?"
Everyone was quiet. What would Sawada Tsunayoshi wish for? What is his desire that could make him do something so desperate?
Chrome who was also thinking somehow found the answer. "B-Bossu… wants to revive Reborn-san?"
Everyone were surprise, more like it makes sense. If there was a creature that could grant any wish, which also means reviving the dead was possible. It makes sense!
Nueve looked down and nod, telling them it was the right answer. "Sawada Tsunayoshi on the day where the portal between here and the other space will open left you to encounter it and wish for his revival. He met hardship when he entered and searching for the creature alone. In the end, he had met the said creature, the golden Phoenix. He had stated his wish, the wish of his beloved revival… but…"
"But?" Yuni questioned, telling her to continue.
Nueve took a deep breath before continuing. "The phoenix has no power to revive living creature." They were all surprise, she continued. "However, the creature said he has the power to reincarnate the person instead, in exchange of his everything."
"His everything" Ryohei repeated in disbelief.
Everyone understood it now. His everything also means… his life.
"That makes sense now" Viper murmured but everyone heard and looked to him. "The one who put me unconscious when I visited my mother's grave. On the day that it seems Vongola Decimo went missing… was Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"You mean the day someone knocks you out kora?" Colonnello asked and Viper nod.
Raul looked to Nueve while she looked away, somehow remembering that made her guilty. Raul on the inside smirk, he did able to knock him out without him knowing who it was.
"Did Juudaime… achieve his wish?" Gokudera asked, his despair was evident to his tone.
Nueve can't answer right away, knowing Gokudera was already crying. It took minutes before she answered, "Yes"
"I see" Somehow, Gokudera seems relief at the same time, sad. His Juudaime is dead. All he wanted was to meet him again but can no longer do. He died, unable to see the reincarnated Reborn-san.
Hibari stood silently but inside he too had understood. That Herbivore was planning that from the very beginning. He also knew that having this wish could also end his life but still continue, even knowing there was a little chance of meeting him again, he still continued. He was no longer an Herbivore, he too was not a Carnivore… he's an Omnivore.
"Don't be sad everyone" Kawahira spoke, "Sadawa Tsunayoshi may be dead, but he was also reincarnated, just like Reborn." He told which surprised all of them. Nueve was bit surprise while Raul narrowed his eyes on him.
"Hoy, what do you mean?" Colonnello asked.
Kawahira chuckle a bit before answering him, "As I had said, he too was reincarnated, thanks to the previous generation Sky Arcobaleno's wish."
"Past… Mysteria-san!?" Yuni asked in disbelief.
Kawahira nod and explained to them, "After all of you return back to your original time, she knew what Sawada Tsunayoshi had planned to do. So for the future's happiness, she went back to meet the Golden Phoenix once again and asked for a wish. She too had wish that if ever Sawada Tsunayoshi will die due to his wish, she wish for his revival for him and Reborn to meet again… but, you know what happened, right?"
"The Golden Phoenix told her that he has no power to revive a person." Fon stated and Kawahira nod.
"So what do you think she had wished? It was same as Sawada Tsunayoshi, to revive him if ever he came to wish for Reborn's reincarnation, in exchange of her time." Kawahira told them.
"Time? You mean speeding the countdown of the contract of the seed!?" Raul asked in disbelief.
Nueve found it surprising, now she understood what the creature had meant when he said a human girl came twice. Once was indeed about eradicating the seed of contract and the second was… her revival.
Kawahira shook his head, telling him no and explained to him. "It was the time on her next life. She will eventually die quickly due to the contract so that creature will just take her time on her next life, leaving her to die young."
Raul found it disbelief. Really, up until now, she still surprises him. Just who kind of a teacher who will sacrifice everything just for her student? She was indeed a unique one.
"Then that also means Juudaime is alive as a new person. Checker Face tell us where he is? I-We need to meet him." Gokudera demanded, he wanted to meet his Juudaime again, like everyone else.
"You already met him Gokudera Hayato" Everyone were surprised, before they all could ask, he followed up his next statement. "Am I right, Teresa Nueve… or should I call your past name… Sawada Tsunayoshi."
They all looked to Nueve in disbelief. It was him, no, HER!
Nueve keep silent and hold Raul's hand even more. Raul can tell, she was afraid to them. She had left them and died like that, they had the right to hate or shout at her. Raul looked at them and spoke on her place.
"The reason she knew about him, because she is Sawada Tsunayoshi. That was her past life self. She had all his memories, and so are all of you." Raul told them.
"Re-really?" Yamamoto questioned in disbelief, "Tsuna… was that… really you?"
Nueve was becoming even more nervous, even so, she nod. "Yes… I am… it's been a while… everyone… also… I-"
"Bossu" Chrome cut her as she immediately hugs Nueve which surprise her. Chrome began to cry, she had truly miss her Boss. "Bossu… Bossu… We… We finally meet you… Bossu" She continued to cry to her chest.
Nueve found it surprising, why? Shouldn't they yell or hate her? Why? Why does she feel accepted?
"Tsuna" Yamamoto called out and slowly, she looked to him. She was surprise, Yamamoto was… crying, even there was a smile on his lips. "How could you become so cruel? You should have at least told us when we first met."
"Yamamoto" Nueve whispered in disbelief.
"Tsuna-nii" Lambo cried as he hugs her with Chrome. Lambo was too happy, even if the appearance was different than the once they knew, they could feel the soul was the person they truly knew. It was really him, their beloved Sky.
Mukuro who can see Chrome was crying can't help but smile. For all this years, she had never cried. He would never admit but he had come to fully worried about her. He had truly sworn that he would really kill Sawada Tsunayoshi but if he does now, surely Chrome will be sad again and might hate him. For now, he was glad that he had met him again and at the same time, cures his dear Chrome's loneliness.
Both Gokudera and Ryohei can't help but cry too, they had met him again which is like a dream come true. Gokudera meeting his beloved Juudaime who gave him life and family while Ryohei meeting his beloved younger brother.
Hibari was just standing and not reacting much but in the inside was happy to see the Herbi-Omnivore again. Who would ever know that young Herbivore would be reincarnated as a woman? No wonder he had felt something familiar around her. They had truly met, when she was still alive as Sawada Tsunayoshi.
All ex-Arcobaleno were happy to meet Sawada Tsunayoshi and now Teresa Nueve again. Yuni was the one who was the happiest to all of the ex-Arcobaleno. She can't believe that she would be given a chance to meet him again.
Raul was somehow glad this was the outcome. He can see the confusion to his beloved and now can't help but cry with them. She had truly missed them so much. She always asks if they were fine or happily moving on without her. Not having a thought of meeting them, for she knew they will never recognize her, much more she can't hold the feelings she always kept to them.
He looked to Kawahira who was smiling for them. "You had plan this, didn't you?" Raul asked, seems giving him a slight soft side of his as his thanks for his plan that Nueve was now been released from her long pain to her Guardians and Friends.
"I only did what Mysteria had told me to do, more like your mother in this life Raul." Kawahira told him which he found it questioning. "Auralia de Fiore was the name of your mother. On her past life, she was Mysteria, your teacher."
Raul was shocked on the sudden information. They all looked at him in questioning and he continued.
"Before the curse and seed took her life, she gave me the core of her memories, the core where all her memories reside and told me to return it to her after we meet again. That was also my last meeting her." Kawahira pause for a second before continuing.
"Our next meeting was when I had seen a child who seems familiar. She was reincarnated as a new person named Auralia. As I had promise, I gave her the memories of her past life. She had question many things after that until finally believing it was all indeed true. She was also watching over you through rumors and so forth. She also fallen in love to a man name Leonardo de Fiore, your father and got married. She still kept in touch to you, knowing that her husband's family was also one of the mafias. That was, until she had heard you had died."
Raul looked down for a minute before returning back to him, telling him to tell more which Kawahira obligated.
"On the day after Sawada Tsunayoshi had made his wish and granted, you were indeed re-born and she knew it was you who came to her. She was truly happy that finally, for her last time on this world, knowing she will die not long enough, she could meet you again and raise you like she always wanted. To be your real mother… Do you want to know the meaning of 'R' on your name?" Kawahira questioned him in the end.
Raul gave a small smile and shook his head, "No need… from everything you told me, I can already tell what 'R' means. From the very beginning, she knew it. That's why she never left on my side when I was young. She also knew that she will soon die, unable to see me grow up like I am now… she always tell me that someone was waiting for me so I should live no matter what and her last word… heh, unbelievable indeed."
Raul seems defeated, he can't imagine at all. Her hardship, her smile, her voice, her words… everything makes sense. He was glad too, that finally, she had become his mother, his real mother.
"Raul… are you alright?" Nueve asked in concern.
Raul smiled to her "I'm fine Nueve, just thinking how crazy my teacher who became my mother could be. I am glad but to do too much for us is something really crazy for someone to do."
Nueve smiled, knowing what he meant to those words. She can't help but feel really grateful to her. She always watches over them, even on her after life.
"Umm" They all looked to Skull who spoke, "You keep saying teacher and then reincarnated to become his mother, just who are you?"
Raul hearing his question sighs, "For this whole 18 years, you are still a lackey… such low brain of yours."
"Wha-what!" Skull shouted, 'Wait… the way he talked and… the way he called me…' he became horror "A-are you…"
They all found it questioning. Raul smirk, "Finally figure it out lackey?"
Skull can never believe it, "R-R-R-Re… REBORN-SEMPAI!"
The ex-Arcobaleno stared to Raul in disbelief who was still smirking.
"That's right, Raul R de Fiore's past life was the strongest hitman, Reborn" Kawahira announced which surprised them all.
Reborn still kept his poker face even if Kawahira had announced them. Nueve leaned to him even if she was still being hug by both Chrome and Lambo. "You were laughing, aren't you Raul?" Nueve asked to Raul.
Raul chuckle, "You knew?"
Nueve frown a bit "I already know almost all about you Raul" She smiled "Or should I call you Reborn on this day?"
Raul smirk "Fine by me, Dame Tsuna"
"Don't call me 'Dame Tsuna' Reborn!" Nueve shouted. Raul laughs on her.
Everyone found it shocking at the same time, new. They never saw Reborn laugh, this was their first time hearing it. Somehow, they all think it was all because of Tsuna or now Nueve.
"U-Uncle Reborn… is that… is that really you!?" Yuni asked in disbelief.
Raul looks on her and smirk, "You have grown… Yuni"
Yuni can't help but cry. It was really her uncle Reborn. She then immediately run and hugs him. She cried in happiness, that she got a chance to meet him again. Raul can't help but sigh. Yuni was already an adult but somehow still act as a child sometimes.
"That only means that both of you really had met together… Reborn" Fon said, somehow thinking about the two were together, it was the obvious fact.
Nueve smiled and nod. Raul answered, "We met six years ago Fon"
Fon can't help but smile, he admitted to himself, he had miss talking to his old friend. "That's good to hear Reborn… and welcome back"
Raul just kept his smirk as he pulls up his fedora a bit to have a better view on everyone and nod. Silently telling them he felt the same way to them. Colonnello can't help but cry, Lal was there to suit her husband but happy too that their own comrade had return to them. Viper and Verde will never voice this out but they were too are happy to see him again.
It was a great reunion for everyone and Kawahira decided to stay silent. Waiting at the same time, watching them.
'You had really planed this to happen… am I right… Mysteria?' Kawahira thought as he think on the certain person that somehow became close to him, Mysteria. Remembering back, both were actually always argue to one another, at the same time, fight to one another. He never thought on himself that someone was capable of having the same strength and power like him. It was indeed a great discovery for him which he enjoyed. Their times became precious to him, that he can't help that every desire she would like, he would do it for her. Finally, her last desire as Auralia, was to make them all meet again and have a wonderful reunion and also… that.
It took almost sunrise before everyone decides to leave the place, but before leaving, Kawahira called them out.
"Do you want something more?" Raul asked him, he truly wanted to go home to have a good night rest.
Kawahira just smiled and said, "I still haven't done the last part so before you leave, let me at least finish it."
Gokudera narrowed his eyes on him, "What do you want to say?"
"Not say but done" Kawahira corrected him which earns a glare from him. Kawahira didn't mind as he walk, heading to Nueve. Nueve look at him in question but kept her guard up, same for Raul who was still beside her. Kawahira can't help but smiled, "There's no need to be so protected and get wary about me. I was just about to release something that was sealed within you, Sawada Tsunayoshi-kun, or should I call you Teresa Nueve."
Nueve observed him thoroughly before saying, "A seal of what Kawahira-san?"
"The seal that kept suppressing your Dying Will Flame." Kawahira answered which surprise everyone.
"Mind explaining?" Raul demanded.
Kawahira nod as he explained it, "This history was never written to any Vongola history for the first generation boss, Vongola Primo had kept this to everyone, in order to protect his other son from harm."
"O-other son!?" Colonnello repeated in shock, he continued.
"On the day he had retired and went to Japan to live happily with the people there and met his soon to be wife. He actually has twins, both male twins. He was actually happy that he was given two children, but soon became a tragic as that day happened which Primo's child was taken away from him."
"T-taken away?" Colonnello repeated in shock which earns him a punch from Lal for interrupting him.
Kawahira was silently thankful and continued. "He never found his child and not once he asked help from the Vongola to help him. The reason was unknown but she gave me a guess on why he did such thing. It was to protect him. He actually found his child but decide to hide him, even to his wife and let him live here in Italy as an orphan, even so, he had never leave him as he gave a silent support for him. Generation passes and now in this time, you Teresa Nueve have his blood. The blood of the lose twin child of Vongola Primo."
Nueve was shock on the sudden information and so were the others. They never knew, there was another generation that has the same bloodline as Vongola Primo other than Sawada Iemitsu and Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Mukuro for some reason was happy, "Kufufufu that only means, Teresa Nueve was another candidate for the boss position."
Everyone looks to him in shock as the realization hit them and returns back to Nueve who seems… in horror.
"T-th-tho-those t-tha-that m-me-mean th-tha-that I-" Nueve unable to continue as Raul answered her, "You will become a boss again… Dame Nueve"
Nueve can't help but shout in shock. Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Lambo and Chrome were overjoyed, to hear that she could become their boss. Lal and Yuni nod in approval, Colonnello gave an okay, Skull was grinning happily, Verde pull up his glasses and smirk and Verde can't help but smirk too. Hibari just smirk and Mukuro chuckle, both also accept her as their new boss. Everyone had decided to make her an official boss without any second of thought. Raul just smirks, liking their idea.
Nueve who could sense what everyone was thinking react immediately, "Wait wait wait wait! … How can I become a boss again? Well yeah if what Kawahira-san said might be true but… I can't become a boss so suddenly!"
"Why Dame Nueve?" Raul asked in tease.
Nueve blush and answered him, "I can't summon my Dying Will Flame, remember?"
"Oh, that was because of the seal Vongola Primo had done to his child, which makes the other generation also inherit the seal within their body." Kawahira explain which everyone look at him. He continued, "That was what I'm talking about Teresa Nueve. I will destroy the seal for you to be able to use your Sky Flame again."
"Why?" Nueve question which Kawahira didn't understand. She gave a clear question, "Why are you doing this for us so suddenly? For some reason… this isn't like you Kawahira-san."
Kawahira can't help but smile as he thinks back on the nostalgic memories, "That's because she asked me to do it… Teresa Nueve… I'm doing it, because she desire for it which I answered her will."
Everyone for some reason can't help but feel sympathy for him. Just to his tone, it was clear that something happened that seems… painful.
Raul who keeps observing him asked a serious question, "Checker Face… Did you… fall in love to my Sensei?"
Everyone look to Raul in surprise on a sudden question. They then heard laughter, it was Kawahira who was laughing.
"Tha-that was so funny question Reborn, or should I call you Raul?" Kawahira asked as he laughs but Raul didn't answer. Kawahira kept laughing and finally, he stops. "That was a surprising question indeed Raul… but you know…" Kawahira gave a smile, "You might be right, without me noticing it on myself until now."
Raul can't help but kept his silence. He can feel it, he was truly serious and really love his sensei that now in this life became his mother.
"She was gone once again… but I know we'll meet again and this time… I won't let her go." Kawahira said, serious that he will certainly do it.
Yuni can't help but smile for him, "Good luck for it… Kawahira-san"
Kawahira nod as his thanks. He then look back to Nueve, "Shall I begin?"
Nueve somehow was bit nervous. She looks on Raul, hoping to say something. Raul just gave an assurance smile as he took his hand. In his action, it was clear he was saying everything will be alright. Nueve can't help but be thankful that he was there for her. She look back on Kawahira and nod, she's ready.
Kawahira smiled and raise his right hand and with his index finger, he touches her forehead and glow. It took just a minute before the light disappeared. Nueve then can't help but feel sleepy as she fall to her side and thankfully, Raul was there to catch her. Raul observe her if anything pains her and see nothing, much to his relief. He looks back to Kawahira.
"Don't worry, once she wakes up, she can finally use her Sky flame again." Kawahira said and Raul nod as his response. Kawahira then look at them and gave his final farewell, "Have a great future to everyone."
Kawahira's portal came out from behind and went in then disappeared. He had left them. They all then look on Nueve who seems sleeping soundly. Raul can't help but smile on her innocence. Everyone smiled and gave silence as they went home, not letting their beautiful Sky princess wake up.
Next day, Nueve woke up on the Vongola Mansion with Raul and soon tried to use her Sky Flame. It was pure Sky with gentleness. Nueve was somehow happy that she could finally use her Dying Will Flame, and so are Raul and everyone else.
"That only means that the Vongola was right back to you Nueve" Raul said to her. She became nervous for a bit but then smiled and nods. She admits that she was happy that the Vongola was back to her, her friends and her family.
She went to him and hugs him, "But it still haven't compare on the day I have finally found you Raul."
Raul was happy to hear that. They then heard a caught and look on the person who was trying to stop their moment. It was Lambo, seems not liking on what he see.
Gokudera also caught to take the two's attention and said, "I'm happy that you can finally use your Flame Juudaime."
Nueve giggle a bit which they all found it wonderful. "Juudaime? Gokudera-kun I think that's not the case here anymore."
"She is now the 11th boss, remember that Gokudera. She may be Dame Tsuna but in this present time, she was no longer him." Raul told him.
Gokudera realizing it nod. He bowed to them, "Sorry for my mistake Juu-, no, Dai-ju ichi boss and Raul-san."
"Don't be so formal Gokudera-kun, please act normal, like you always do." Nueve said, somehow not liking on how formal her past life right hand. Gokudera was somehow happy and smiled, "Thank you 11th"
Nueve then smiled on that, she gave a questioning look to Raul. "Raul if ever I officially became the 11th boss, that would mean that I need to leave on the company and we'll have our own separate ways right? Since you need to mind your family company and me in Vongola."
Raul thinking about it somehow nods, realizing the obvious thing, but he gave a reassuring smile, "But nothing to worry Nueve, I can visit you time to time. My family has a connection with the Vongola, no harm done."
"But won't you be busy? You have a lot of things to do to recover the Companies' reputation." Nueve reasoned. Raul just smirk, "Easy to recover and done. Who do you think I am?"
Nueve can't help but smile. Knowing him, he can do anything.
"Kufufufu looks like the best Hitman had truly changed. I can understand on our dear Teresa Nueve but you… kufufufu." Mukuro said, teasing Raul.
Raul smirk, there was a threatening look to his eyes that was pointing to him. "Rokudo Mukuro even if I had change, it doesn't mean that I had lost my strength. Wanna try me?"
"Kufufufu accepted" Mukuro's trident came out in hand. Raul just smirk as he walk away, heading for an open space for them and Mukuro followed. Hibari having a curiosity decide to join and without answer, Raul is welcome to accept it.
Nueve just smiled on the three then look to her old and maybe until now right hand, Gokudera Hayato. As she looked at him, she noticed his ring, a normal silver ring.
"Gokudera-kun is that ring…" Nueve trailed off as she sees Gokudera blushing really visible to everyone. "Ah-ahhhh 11th… th-this is…"
"Oh, from Yamamoto Takeshi"
Yamamoto got startled on the sudden voice and looking on his side, it was Raul, smirking on amusement.
"Raul? Are you done?" Nueve asked, seeing Raul was already with them. Raul continues to smirk as he pull down his fedora and pointed the two Guardians. They saw both Mist and Cloud are down, unable to move.
Nueve can't help but sweat drop on sight. There was no sign of hesitation at all, well, as expected from the strongest past Hitman, Reborn.
"I admit that they had gotten stronger for this past eighteen years but still not enough. Sensei's regimen was really the best training menu I could ever ask for." Raul said which made Nueve paled a bit.
"I-I see" Nueve then look back to Gokudera who kept on blushing. Seeing the other one, Yamamoto was laughing and there was redness evident to his cheek. Nueve smiled on the two, knowing they had gotten their relationship far from better from the last time she had seen them, which was her past life days of living. "I'm happy for both of you, congratulation." Nueve happily said to them which made the two blushed even more.
Ryohei and Lambo who were watching the whole time began to laugh on the two. Chrome who was already beside to her Mukuro-sama began to chuckle. It seems the expression between the Storm and Rain Guardian was priceless to witness how the two react. Nueve soon followed up as she laughs with the Sun and Lightning Guardian. Raul just smirk, amuse on the two, same for both Mukuro and Hibari who had already regain their consciousness smirks and then chuckle.
It seems that this was the day, where the element of the Skies had regained their color and happiness.
Two weeks later, both Raul and Nueve with Gokudera and Hibari as their bodyguards were heading out from the mansion. Gokudera was the one who was driving and beside him was Hibari, closed eyes and quiet. Looking on the back sit were Nueve and Raul. Raul was just watching his beloved lover as Nueve was looking on the window, seeing people shopping around, drinking, eating and so forth.
The street lights became red as their car stop, waiting for it to be green again and in front were some cars moving to straight directions. As Nueve looking on the people outside, she noticed a person that she recognize. She narrowed her eyes carefully to take a better look. The person she recognized was serving on the costumer on a café. Two men costumers were talking to the waitress as the waitress was keeping her smile to them and finally turn around, seeing the face of that person.
Nueve gasp, can't believe of all people, it was her. Nueve was moving back, holding her painful emotion that was once again resurfacing to her mind. Raul immediately pulled her back and hugged her, sensing the terrifying look of her lover. Gokudera was bit surprise while Hibari opened his eyes and narrowed it on the mirror which was reflecting to them.
"11th? Are you alright?" Gokudera was the one who asked.
Nueve kept on shaking but it was soothing thanks to Raul's comfort, even so, he too was asking what's wrong. Nueve turn around and immediately embrace Raul. She spoke, "R-Raul… it's her" Raul raised his eyebrow, Nueve continued, "M-My current mother."
Raul's eyes widen a bit before narrowing his eyes on her lover and asked seriously. "The mother who sold you?" Nueve kept shaking but nod as her response. Raul looked on the window and glare on the person that was his current lover's mother. He until now was furious on the current parents of Nueve who sold her for money and easily left her to become a prostitute which Nueve able to escape from before it happened.
Gokudera and Hibari who heard it got their weapon prepare which was bombs and gun for Gokudera and the usual for Hibari, tonfas. Remembering back, after announcing to every Vongola famiglias and allies about the coming new Vongola boss, of course they need to know her history. It was actually a big shocking for them, how could a parents like them could sold their child so easily and much worse pick their gambling more than their child!? Mukuro on that time was truly furious as he wanted to kill someone, same for Chrome. The other Guardians were no different, Lambo wanting to strike someone, Ryohei wanting to punch them, Yamamoto wanting to slice someone and Gokudera wanting to bomb someone. Hibari didn't react much on the conversation, but inside, he wanted to bite someone to death more than anyone else.
"Gokudera park somewhere near, now." A cold order of Raul which Gokudera immediately comply, not because of fear but because it was necessary. The car immediately drives away.
"R-Raul" Nueve called. Raul just pulls her to his embrace and comfort, hiding the fact that he was having a deadly glare on his target.
Later, the waitress which was actually Nueve's mother got a break and went to somewhere place where surely, her husband and new born child were. Nueve's mother kept walking, unable to notice the car that was following her this whole time. The two Guardians with Raul was following and observing their target. Nueve tried to stop them but no vail.
Nueve's mother arrived on some kind of garage. That was also when Nueve once again saw her current father who had welcomed his wife and… a baby on hand.
"Nueve stay here." A cold voice said, more like ordered to her. Nueve turn to his side, seeing Raul had already walked out the car and closed it. Hibari and Gokudera soon followed up as they walk out the car and closed the door harshly.
"Hibari-san, Gokudera-kun" Nueve called out but the two didn't turn around, they didn't hear her. She looked to Raul who was now with the two. Raul looks back on the car and gave a signal which earns her curiosity.
As the family seems having a good time to one another, they were halted on the voice that called out to them.
"Can we have your time for a minute?" Gokudera asked them as the family look at them in questioning. The one who spoke was the father, "Y-yes? What is it?"
They immediately didn't answer as they all look to the baby he was holding for a minute before facing them again.
"Your child?" Raul asked. The couple looks to one each other before them. "Y-yes, he's our child." The mother was the one who respond.
Raul hums for a second before giving them a heart breaking question, "I see, then the little guy has an older sister, right? Mind telling me where she is?"
Both parents widen in shock, surprise that suddenly asked something about their older child, their first born child. How did these three know? Who are this people? Those two questions were running on their mind. Thinking back, it's been eleven years since… since they sold their child, just because of money needs and enjoyment in gambling.
The father grips his hand as he remembers the thing he wanted to forget, their biggest mistake as a parent, as a father. He forced himself to smile and compose himself for them, even so, failed since the three could sense it. He asked them, "A-I'm sorry but… we-we don't have another child th-than him. He's our only son, y-you must be mistaken… a-and… just where the heck did you hear those rumors? I'm telling you that it wasn't true."
"Your voice is shaking Herbivore" a cold tone of Hibari which made the man flinch, he continued. "If you Herbivore are saying the truth, why are your eyes shaking? Why is your body so tense?" The man gulps, can't think of a way to response.
"Th-that was because-" the wife wanting to defend her husband was cut off when Raul spoke, "Both of you are too easy to read. No need to hide the fact. The fact that you sold your own daughter just to have money and for your gambling," his tone turn cold and dangerous "Right?"
The two can no longer compose themselves of how shock the two parents were. That was the truth which they can never change. Wanting to make things right again but can no longer done, it was too late, beyond too late.
"Do you know how hurt she is?" Raul asked. His anger was visible to the voice but kept his composure on his expression, except his eyes hidden in the shadow of his fedora, glaring at them. "Do you know how betrayed she had felt? Because of you two! Her own PARENTS!? Her life ruined and she suffered because of you two, now you felt guilty? Ashamed as her parents? Well you should be and you deserve it!"
Both eyes of the couple widen every each word he says and every word he speaks hit them and breaks them. The woman can no longer help but tears coming out. She was too ashamed and truly regretted it. Her husband was no exception as his tears also flowing down, feeling the pain, guilt and regret. If only… if only they could return back in time, the time their beloved snow white daughter were still with them, they will give her the best love they could ever give as their parents, as a family.
As they kept reflecting how guilty they were, they had remembered something that their daughter was too desperate to tell them that in the end, they never listen.
Just what good could a gambling bring to us? Please stop and let's restart all over again!
"Well, at least something changed around here." Gokudera said as he looked around the area. It seems both parents somehow got to realization and decide to fix themselves as they start all over again… "Have you ever tried searching your own daughter?"
Silence came around them as they kept waiting for their answer.
On the car, Nueve was actually listening to their conversation outside through the phone. It was connected to Raul's phone as she was told not to get out the car and instead listen to the conversation that they were about to do. She doesn't want to disappoint her beloved and her friends as she obeyed and kept herself inside the car.
Outside, they kept on waiting, until finally, the father snap out. "We… we didn't… WE DIDN'T BASTARDS!" because of the loud voice, the baby on his arms began to cry which became a panic on the father but thankfully his wife was there to take the child and make it stop crying.
"You didn't look for her?" Raul asked, like a mocking tone but hidden was dangerous. "You didn't even try finding your own daughter?"
"N-no! It's not like we didn't try… j-just that…" the mother trailed off, can't find a right word to say. The father closed his eyes for a minute before returning his gaze to them. He spoke in irritation, "I don't know who you people are but this business has no longer anything to do with you. Leave us. NOW!"
"I don't listen to Herbivores" Hibari respond to his demand on making them leave. It was then followed up by Gokudera, "I only follow my boss"
Both parents' eyes widen once again. They look on the person between them which was Raul. Raul didn't say anything but he too has no intention of leaving.
Raul narrowed his eyes on the couple, "Tell me, why you didn't look for her? She is your daughter, you have a right to find her. So why?"
"Wasn't that obvious?" the mother spoke, "We don't know where she is! We wanted to meet her again, be together again and be a family again but… we don't know and… we no longer have a right to see her. We sold her, it also means we also sold our rights for our daughter, no, that child."
Hibari and Gokudera glared on the woman, she just said that she no longer see her Daughter as her Daughter, just a mare child. The father continued, "We no longer have a daughter, she no longer belong here and for us, we already thought about her as dead. Are you happy now? Then leave and please… don't come back."
The tears of the couple flowed out once again. It actually pains them of saying such words, such dead words for their daughter but what can they do? They no longer have a right, they have to accept the fact that they can no longer meet her again.
Raul on the inside was very disappointed. He walks, heading to the father and without warning, he punch the man, making the man fall on the ground which shock the wife.
"Dear!" the wife called out as she went beside him. Raul was glaring deadly on the Man and the wife was no exception, it was same for both Guardians. Raul spoke "Is that how your mindset runs? Very well then…" Raul again walk on the two as the man gave a protective stance to his wife who was now terrified on the deadly aura that Raul was emitting.
Raul looked down to them and spoke, "I will permanently erase your rights to see her or even hear her voice. Do not ever look for her again. YOU. WILL. NEVER. SEE. NUEVE. AGAIN."
Raul stood up straight and turns around. He gave a silent message on the two which the two nod, understanding him. Raul walked away, the two followed.
"W-wait! You know our daughter?" the mother asked in desperate but they didn't answer. Instead, "You said she's just a child right? Don't ever call her Daughter again or I'll bite you to death." Hibari respond in venom tone that made the mother shake in fear.
The two immediately went inside to the car. They witness Nueve was crying, hurt on the words that they had truly abandoned her. Raul hugs her tightly, telling her to release everything through action as Nueve complied and hug him back, cried on his chest.
Hibari narrowed his eyes to Gokudera, sending a silent message to leave and so, Gokudera drive away. Both Guardians swore that they will never let those parents meet her again. That was their wish and they would grant it for them, for their Sky.
Three days after the fateful day in the boss office, Nueve was on her boss sit with Gokudera and Yamamoto in front of her, discussing something which surprises the two.
"A-are you sure Tsuna, ah, Teresa? I mean they…" Yamamoto trailed off, remembering the conversation he had with Gokudera about meeting his best friend's present parents. Nueve nod as her respond, "It's not like I'm asking for full support since I know all of you will oppose it, especially Raul so I'm just asking a slight support for them."
"B-but why 11th?" Gokudera asked. Nueve answered, "For the child Gokudera-kun. I know that my current parents had done something bad which until now still pains me but… I as now an older sister can't leave my little brother. I know they can take care of him but let me at least give something as his big sister. That was my reason Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto."
The two then smiled, understanding her fully. "I understand 11th, leave everything to me" Gokudera said as he bowed to her. Nueve just smile and nod. Yamamoto smiled for Nueve, she care for people like she was before, when she was still alive as Sawada Tsunayoshi.
'Nothing change' Yamamoto thought as he look on his best friend.
Day of Inheritance, all Vongola, including all the alliance came on the inheritance ceremony where they all had witness the new boss of the Vongola Famiglia. They were all surprise that it was a girl with unique hair as a snow and has a turquoise eye color. They all found her fascinating and attractive. Hibari and Mukuro were keeping an eye on everyone, they were assign to be her bodyguard as Gokudera who was the right hand of the dead Vongola Decimo shall be the one who will hand over the rights and position of the Vongola to her.
Lambo who was watching sigh, "You know, I'm still thinking on why this ceremony has to happen. She is Tsuna-nii, already a Vongola Decimo even in different appearance. I think there's no need to do this inheritance ceremony, much more give a title the 11th boss."
Chrome giggles a bit on her companion Guardian, "That's because Bossu now is a bit different person. Have you forgotten that Bossu was reincarnated, not resurrected. Bossu can no longer carry her past identity and past history. That's why this has to be done Lightning Guardian, the past Bossu and the present Bossu are bit different of the person."
"History huh and identity…" Lambo sigh, somehow understanding it.
When the cape of the Vongola was now been passed to Nueve, everyone had clapped their hand. Gokudera with Yamamoto on his side went down and the Guardians gather together. They look up on the now new boss which was Nueve and kneeled down, which surprised her.
"11th I, Gokudera Hayato pledge my loyalty to you as your Storm Guardian that I will become a Storm who will protect you with all my heart, along with the family. I swore with my heart and soul that I will be by your side as long as I live, as your right hand and as your friend."
"I, Yamamoto Takeshi pledge my loyalty to my best friend as your Rain Guardian who shall wish nothing but the happiness of my friends, my comrades, my love and you. I will be the one who shall wash away all the sadness that you will feel and wash the enemy that shall come to you. I swore with my heart and soul to be by your side and give you happiness more than anything else."
"I, Bovino Lambo-sama pledge to you Teresa-nee as your Lightning Guardian that I shall become a lightning rod that will protect you, our family and the people we cheery with all my mind and heart. I as the youngest among your Guardian swore my loyalty to you to be at your service Teresa-nee."
"Teresa Nueve, I Sasagawa Ryohei pledge to you as your Sun Guardian who shall shine to protect you from any harm of who ever shall come to you. I will become your shield and strength on everything that shall come upon us. I swore to you as your loyal role big brother Teresa."
"Bossu, I, Rokudo Chrome pledge to you as your haft Mist Guardian to be by your side and protect you by any means until the end. I shall be the one who shall lead you from the darkness and clear the way to the path that you wish to achieve. I swore to you with everything I have Bossu."
"Kufufufu I too pledge to you Teresa Nueve, as your other haft Mist Guardian to be the one who shall strike any enemies that shall come upon you. I will be the one who shall lead the enemies to the false truth to protect you and will be the one who shall create the fog for your protection. I, Rokudo Mukuro pledge that to you… Kufufufu"
"Hn… Teresa Nueve, I as your Cloud Guardian pledge with all my strength to be the strongest to destroy anyone that shall come upon you. I am free of anything but still bound to the Sky. I, HIbari Kyoya swore to you Omnivore to be by your side until death."
"We 11th, the past generation Guardian of the Vongola Decimo, Sawada Tsunayoshi now swore to you to be your Guardians and pledge ourselves to you to show you how serious we are, from here until the end."
Nueve was touch, she didn't know that once again, she will witness her Friends and Guardians shall be there for her and pledge once again to her. She smiled, as she remember on her past life, the day of the inheritance ceremony when she was still Sawada Tsunayoshi who had just become the official Vongola Decimo witness their pledge in front of everyone. She then answered their pledge.
"I, your Sky, the Vongola 11th, Teresa Nueve pledge myself to everyone and so to my pledge Guardians that I shall become a Sky who shall keep the light of the Vongola, the one who shall protect the weak and the one who will keep the Vigilante group, just like Vongola Primo had created. I shall not just be the light for my famiglia but also be the light of my family and my friends. I swore to you with my Dying Will."
Nueve walked down, heading to her Guardians. When she got in front of them, she smiled as she bowed to them, showing them that she accept their pledge and asking for them to accept hers. Knowing that, the Guardians stood up, showing they had accepted. Nueve look at them and her smiled widen as the crowed clap their hands.
All ex-Arcobaleno were also there, clapping their hands as they like the pledging ceremony between the Guardians and their now Boss.
"That was so touching and wonderful." Yuni commented as she claps her hands for them. The others nod as their response. "Looks like the Vongola will become an interesting place once again." Verde said as he pulls up his glasses.
"I kinda agree to that part… right?" Lal said as she looked to her husband which was Colonnello who nod as he agreed. "It won't be just our child that we need to protect right kora." Lal smirk, liking the idea.
"It seems our other fellow Arcobaleno was not here." Fon said as he looked around, trying to find someone. Skull gave a questioning look, "Who are you looking for Fon-sempai? We're all here." Viper spoke, "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen him yet."
"Oh that's right" Yuni then look around but she too can't find that person. "I wonder where uncle is, he should be here to witness the inheritance ceremony."
Somewhere, Enma and Adelhide were chatting to one another.
"Enma you kept staring at her with no end. Have you fallen to her?" Adelhide asked as Enma immediately shook his head and faced her, "You know I can't do that! I have a wife and sons remember and…" Enma return his gaze to the new boss, "Can't you feel anything Adelhide? I'm very sure this was my first time meeting her but… I feel that I know her, no, I have met her before but I can't remember when." Adelhide gave a questioning look a she look back on the boss.
Somewhere with the Gesso Famiglia, Byakuran seems narrowing his eyes on the new Vongola Boss while both of his companion, Zakuro and Kikyo were just behind him.
"Is there something wrong Byakuran-sama?" Kikyo asked as he can see how serious his boss as he observe the new Vongola Boss, Teresa Nueve. Byakuran took a deep silence before answering him, "Kikyo, what do you think about that woman?"
Kikyo observe the new Vongola Boss, seeing her smile as she was being congratulated by the other Famiglia boss. He answered, "Nothing particular Byakuran-sama… just that she felt like someone I know." Byakuran smiled on the response, "So I wasn't the only one."
"Byakuran-sama" Kikyo called out as they saw Yuni was coming to them. Byakuran spoke, "It seems the princess knows something. How about we asked her?" The two didn't respond as they follow their boss.
Somewhere, Dino was with Romario, smiling as he looked to the new boss.
"Hmm… So they finally found someone who is worthy to replace my little brother. It took really too long for them to find someone, right Romario." Dino said and Romario nod as his response. Dino's eyes soften when he remembered someone, "I wonder if the two were watching this… are they happy? Or…"
Romario stayed quiet, knowing the two people he was thinking right now.
"They are happy more than you think Dame Dino."
A voice told them which surprise Dino and turn around but saw no one, except the people who were talking to one another. He kept looking around but found no one.
"W-who was that just now?" Dino asked but no one answered.
Nueve with her Guardians were being congratulated by the other allied famiglias. Nueve can hear that some were asking her Friends if ever they were now going to turn against their previews boss since he was dead and now found someone whom they had swore to protect. She can always hear their answer as they haven't turn against him, until now which was true. Nueve was Sawada Tsunayoshi, the previews boss who was now dead but then reincarnated.
As being congratulate, an allied boss went to Nueve with his seems son.
"Congratulation for becoming the new Boss of Vongola, I Ramon Hubbard an allied member of the Vongola Famiglia was so pleasure to be able to talk to you." The boss said to her in great smiled. Nueve just kept smiling, giving her best posture as a boss, "Thank you very much. I am glad to meet you."
The boss whose name was Ramon smiled, he then introduced his son, "Teresa Nueve let me introduce you to my son, Emile Hubbard." The son named Emile bowed a bit as his respect, "Please to meet you."
"Same here" Nueve respond in gentle tone. Ramon then smiled as he asked, "Do you happened to be single?"
Nueve was bit surprise on the sudden question. The Guardians who were talking to other people stop as they look to her. A long second before she could respond to his question, "Well I-"
"Sorry to break it to you but this girl is mine. Don't even try making a move Ramon Hubbard of Hubbard Famiglia."
A person who spoke appeared just behind her, wrapping his left arms around her neck. Nueve smiled on his presence.
"Raul"
It was indeed Raul, wearing black coat and his favorite Fedora. Smirk was visible to his lips, hidden was bit dangerous.
"W-who are you?" Ramon asked on the person who appeared before him. The Guardians just smiled, knowing where it will lead to someone who was trying to take advantage on their Boss without them knowing she already belongs to someone strong and dangerous.
"Raul R de Fiore of Fergana Famiglia, her lover" he answered.
Somewhere, his Father, Leonardo can see his son talking to someone and also beside to Nueve.
"Son? What is he doing here?" Leonardo whispered asked as he quickly went there.
Ramon was observing Raul so strictly when he remembered the name of the Famiglia. "Fergana Famiglia, ahh I remember, one of the smallest groups, even so great assassins. That was unexpected."
"Is that so? Then I may tell you now that do not ever touch my Nueve or you'll face hell from me." Raul threatened. Ramon can't help but laugh at it. Emile, his son just sigh, it only shows that he disagree on whatever his father was thinking. Ramon then spoke, "Just what a small famiglia can do? Even if you were all great assassins, it doesn't mean you were all not easy to be killed and destroy. Well in honor of the alliance and of course with my famiglia, I will never do such thing but let's just talk about a possible scenario." His eyes then narrowed to him, "How can you fight against us who was more powerful than your famiglia?"
Raul smirk disappeared as he became serious. He sigh, "Did you ever clean your ear?" he asked. Ramon raised his eye brow in question, he continued, "I said 'you'll face hell from me', in other words, only to me." Raul gave a small smirk, "And if ever I can fight against you, why not? I accept anytime you like. I can destroy you and your famiglia alone."
Ramon glared him, "Are you mocking us?" Raul answered, "Just stating the truth."
"Senior Ramon" Gokudera butt in on the two and spoke, "Please give up. If ever you're planning on proposing your son to become the 11th's husband then you're deadly wrong. 11th already has someone and that is Raul-san. Also, he was the one who throw Marfred out of the Vongola candidate. Getting a fight with him needs more than men power, he did defeat our Cloud and Mist Guardians just a matter of seconds."
All who heard, even Raul's father was shock. They all knew that the Cloud Guardian, Hibari Kyoya and the Mist Guardian, Rokudo Mukuro were the strongest among all the Guardians that can overthrow one family all by themselves. Now hearing someone had defeated them just a matter of SECONDS is a new thing, no, it's IMPOSSIBLE!
"I-is that true?" One of the boss that Mukuro was talking to asked in disbelief. Mukuro chuckle, "Kufufufu I admit that I had lost against him, even if I'm already team up with the Skylark over here." Hibari just 'Hn' and then spoke, "I won't lose the next time I beat you to death Carnivore."
Raul smirk, "That will never happen."
Everyone were beyond surprise, can no longer tell how strong a teenager such as him. Yuni who knows Raul giggles, all male ex-Arcobaleno (except Skull who was laughing) chuckles. Lal just smirk. All in their mind, they were all laughing out loud to their dead now reincarnated comrade.
'If only they knew' were all the thought of the ex-Arcobalenos. Reborn, the Sun ex-Arcobaleno and the strongest among all of them wasn't just the strongest for nothing.
Raul took Nueve's hand and pulls her to his side and ordered Gokudera, "We'll leave for a while, keep everything in order Hayato." Gokudera bowed to him, "As you wish Raul-san"
Raul then carried Nueve in the bridal way and run as they both left the room.
"R-Raul!" The blushing Nueve called out to him. Raul just smirks as they continue to run away.
Raul and Nueve arrived on the Vongola Mansion's garden. It was night and the moon was in full view. The leaves and flowers were blooming beautifully and the most important for Raul, a quiet place as no one was around, except the two of them. Raul put her down and offered his hands to her. Nueve smiled and took his hand. Raul led the way as both walk in to the garden.
Arriving on the center, Nueve was surprise. There was a round table, candles and roses of white, red and orange. Nueve smiled happily as she immediately hugs him. Raul was happy that she likes his surprise, it was his way of congratulating her on becoming a boss once again and… something else.
"Nueve"
Nueve pull out from the hug and look at him in curiosity. Raul continues to smile and suddenly kneel down which surprise Nueve. Raul took something out from his pocket and revealed a small red box. Nueve can't believe what she was seeing when he showed the content of the small box. It was a jewel Diamond Ring.
"Teresa Nueve, from present to future, my love will never waiver nor betray you… Will You Marry Me?"
Nueve's tears drops, it was her tears of joy. Not once she ever imagined that Raul will propose to her. She smiled happily as she gave her answer.
"Yes Raul, Yes!"
Nueve hug Raul so happily and he returns back the hug. The two stayed like that for a minute before the two broke apart. Raul stood up and took her right hand. On her right hand, Nueve was now wearing the Sky Vongola Ring on her middle finger. Raul took the ring from the box and put the ring on her ring finger. Nueve hug him once again and this time, both kissed. A passionate and loving kiss for both as they feel the night had witness their blooming love.

Three years later, Teresa Nueve de Fiore in age of 21 was on her room, wearing her orange pajama, alone and seems serious for some reason. Remembering back…
It's been seven months since she and Raul got married on the very special day, which is Raul's birthday, July 26. It was the happiest day for everyone as all the close friends of Nueve and Raul came to them. Leonardo, Raul's father was so happy that he cried so much for his son. Marcell, Raul's butler was also happy as he claps his hands for them so loud like no end. The Guardians were also happy for the two as they keep clapping their hands for them.
Checker Face or Kawahira was also there, hiding but watching. Beside him was a small girl, has a teal hair color and orange eyes. The small girl seems happy for the two as she watches them from afar. Both Raul and Nueve noticed the two and they both suddenly disappeared. They had a guess that the child that was beside Kawahira just now was the reincarnation of Raul's mother, Auralia and his previews teacher, Mysteria. Kawahira must have done something to make her remember her past lives once again. Both smiled, hoping they could meet each other again.
The two enjoyed their honeymoon alone on the small villa, owned by Vongola in the middle of the small island in Italy. The two enjoyed themselves, especially doing love with their whole content. It took them two whole months for them to return back and return back to their respective works which were Vongola for Nueve and Fiore's company for Raul. Since Raul had married Nueve, he got the rights of the Vongola, meaning, he has the same position as Nueve, their boss.
A month later and Gokudera and Yamamoto married, everyone were also happy, especially Nueve and everyone congratulate them. Gokudera kept blushing on that time and Yamamoto kept laughing, really happy that the two were together.
Current time, Nueve seems eager as she kept staring something on her table. She kept staring and staring until…
"HAYATO!"
Goku-Yamamoto Hayato rush in on his 11th's room in bit panic. "Y-yes 11th?" He said but froze when he saw his boss, 11th seems about to cry. He was now panicking and curse on who the heck made his precious cry. Before he could ask, she spoke, "Hayato please call Raul now."
"Eh?"
"Call Raul NOW!" she shouted that made Hayato immediately run away from the room.
30 minutes and Raul finally came to the Vongola Mansion with Marcell. They were welcome by the maids and butlers, Raul answered them by nodding, silent message saying his back. Marcell on the other hand seems uncomfortable, he's been coming to the Vongola Mansion for three years and until now still not used to it. He still fears the Vongola, knowing they are the strongest mafia around the world.
"Raul-san Welcome home" Hayato greeted as he bow to him exactly 90 degree. Raul nod as his response and asked, "Hayato tell me why you want me to return here? Did something happen?"
"W-well…" Hayato seems hesitant as Raul kept waiting for him to answer. Takeshi who was beside Hayato answered him instead, "Actually, it seems Teresa was looking for you. She's acting kinda… weird."
Raul didn't ask further as he immediately walks away and the three followed him from behind. Raul was actually worried for his beloved wife. She's always feel sick every morning, sometimes vomit and always get dizzy. He wanted to call Shamal to know what truly was wrong with her but she kept on insisting she was okay, so he ordered Hayato, Takeshi and Ryohei to look after her.
Nearly arriving on both of their room, he saw Chrome, standing outside the door as she kept staring the door. She seems happy for some reason. Yamamoto was the one who called out to her. "Chrome is Teresa still there?" Chrome look to them and nod, answering yes "Bossu was so eager to see you Raul-san." She informs him.
Raul looks back on the door and went inside as everyone stayed there. Raul closed the door before heading to his beloved who was standing in front of her desk, it seems Teresa was focus too much on something that she failed to noticed he came in.
"Nueve" Raul called out to his beloved wife. He saw how surprise Nueve was when she turn around and saw him. It seems she didn't expect for his fast return. "Hayato called me, telling me that you were looking for me. Something wrong Nueve?" He asked as he walk, heading to her.
Nueve finally recovering smiled and her tears came out, making Raul surprise a bit. Before he could ask, he was hug by Nueve, so tight and happy.
"Raul!"
"Nueve what's-"
"Look"
Nueve showed something in front of him. Raul was surprise on the item she was holding. It was a pregnancy test and there were two lines in it. Wait, two lines?
"Raul I'm pregnant!" Nueve announced happily and hug him tightly once again, "I'll become a mother!"
Raul was speechless, he can't believe it to his eyes, especially the fact that he will finally become… "Nueve… Am I…"
Seeing him like that, Nueve spoke the fact that it's hard to be true, "You'll become a father Raul. Can you believe it? The life we might never experience in our past lives was happening now. I'm so happy Raul, hehe Reborn"
Raul can no longer hide the happiness burst it out as he hug Nueve so tightly. Nueve didn't mind because she too can't believe it's happening to their life.
"I'm so happy to become a father of our child… Tsuna"
Nine months had past and the baby was born. The baby has the mix of two different colors, white and black. The eyes were gotten from the mother and the figure was just like the father. It was a baby boy.
Everyone were happy, to see the new born baby from both Raul and Nueve. Both Hayato and Ryohei were crying in happiness, Chrome and Mukuro was smiling happily with their child as well which was one year and a month older than the new born child, Yamamoto was smiling so wide of joy, Lambo was shouting in happiness and Hibari Kyoya also smile, happy for the Omnivore. Many close friends also receive the wonderful news, all ex-Arcobaleno, allied famiglia, close friends and family.
Speaking of Raul's family, Leonardo was more than happy to know his own grandchild was finally born. He even shouted to every single one of his servants, workers and friends from their home, company and even mafias to celebrate which they all did. Marcell was also happy that his Master Raul's child was born healthy and safe. He was too happy for his master.
Somewhere, Kawahira was also happy to hear the news from the flying news which can never escape to his ears. Beside him was the child which was now gotten bit older can't help to be happy. He look to her and smiled, she look back and smile. The two without words can understand what they were trying to say to one another.
"Are you happy Raul?" Nueve asked her beloved husband as she's on the hospital bed, baby on her side with her husband. Raul smiled lovely and nods, "You think I'm not Dame Nueve?" Nueve pouted but then smiled.
"What's the name of our baby boy Raul?" she asked. Raul continue to smile and spoke, "Does my beloved wife any have a name in mind? I'd like to hear it first before we decide the name." Nueve gave a questioning look, he answered the unspoken question. "My mother was the one who named me Nueve, so I kinda like want to know first what my beloved wife is thinking before we decide."
Nueve smiled and return her gaze to the child. She spoke, "Raul, I was wondering if it's okay for me to give this name to him. I really wanted for this name to shine the once un-shined name ever since until now."
Raul hums on the words, "Tell me"
Nueve look to her husband and told him the name, "Renato"
Raul was bit surprise on the sudden name but smiled and nods. It was indeed an un-shined name since he decides to change his name back then and be known as Reborn, only his teacher and his beloved knows the name.
"That would be wonderful Nueve." Raul looked to his child and lean closer to him. "Welcome to our wonderful life… Renato C de Fiore" He kissed the child's cheek softly.
"C?" Nueve questioned. Raul looked to his wife and kiss her to her forehead. "It means 'Connection' Nueve. Just like your name once, 'Tsuna' means 'Bond' so I used the other word for it."
Nueve can't help but smile. It seems Raul was planning on connecting their names from their past lives which she doesn't mind for she was the one who began it.
"Then it was like your 'R' means 'Reborn' right? Just like your name back then?"
Raul laughs a bit and answered, "It seems but my 'R' does not mean my name back then Nueve. My mother told me that my 'R' is like a play of words that can lead to its true meaning."
"Then what does 'R' mean Raul?"
"It means… 'Rebirth'… my dear Nueve"
