Senior Field Trip

Chapter 6

"" speaking in Italian

With Takeshi and Squalo

A loud voice was heard off in the distance shouting at what the group assumed was his companion followed by slightly familiar laughing of said companion. The students had turned to look behind them puzzled by the laugh that sounded so familiar.

"Why does that laugh sound so familiar?" asked Maria, a girl with blonde hair in pigtails. Looking like she was thinking hard with her pointer finger tapping her bottom lip.

"It reminds me of Yamamoto, but why would he be heading towards us?" asked Mochida while turning back to the old man wanting to go on.

"Excuse me, if everyone is ready we can get going to the Rain's dojo." Nono started walking onward, expecting the teenagers to follow him.

As the students rushed to catch up to the older man that was a little ahead of them, everyone was wondering why he had said the Rain's dojo. Finally catching up in front of said dojo, the group waited expectantly for the older man to explain the purpose of the dojo.

"The Rain's dojo is the Rain guardians sanctuary. Someplace where he can come and relax or train. As then name 'Rain' implies it has a calming effect on those around them, the Rain guardian is the calming presence among the other short-tempered guardians." replied nono while looking at the dojo with a peaceful aura.

"Who is the guardian of the Rain?" asked Angelica, a black haired beauty with long hair.

"I cannot tell you directly but I have a feeling that you all will be able to figure it out soon." replied Nono mysteriously.

As Nono finished two men could be seen walking towards them. One was easily recognized as Yamamoto Takeshi. The other was one of the men they had seen earlier in the evening during dinner. As the two came closer, they walked up to Nono and bowed.

"Good afternoon, Nono. What brings you to the Rain's dojo?", replied Yamamoto while straightening up and putting his hands behind his head.

Squalo straightened and turned to his campaign, hitting him on the head with the back of his hand. "Voii, why don you think he's here? He told us earlier he was showing these brats around the mansion. Now, stop relaxing and get in there so I can see if you have improved any. Don't forget that I have the memories from that time!"

"Ma, ma. I know you received the memories from that time, as does everyone else that was involved. I can't wait to show you how much I have improved. Don't think that you seen all my power from the memories, I have grown since those too. ", replied Takeshi, dropping his carefree attitude and looking Squalo straight in the eye.

'What have I done to the carefree lives of these children? I can't imagine the pain and suffering that these children, no adults went through over these years. I hope they can forgive me in the future!' sighed Nono. While looking sadly at the pair in front of him.

As the two walked past Nono, he reached out the grab the young 'Rain' guardian's arm. "I am sorry for all the pain we have caused to you and the other guardians. I hope that in time you will learn to forgive me for throwing into this mess", said nono quietly where only the two 'Rain' guardians can hear.

"There is no need to apologize or be forgiven. We have chosen this path ourselves and would not run from it. Tsuna knows this more than the rest of us, he has the mantle on his shoulders, but he does not blame you for anything that has happened. Neither does any of his guardians, me included. ", smiling a sad smile at the ninth he walked inside with Squalo. As he walked to the changing room he was aware of a pair of eyes watching him, he turned at looked at Squalo. "I am fine, Squalo. The tenth generation is the one who chose this path, don't feel sympathy for us. And don't deny it either." Finishing he turned and walked into the changing area, noticing that Squalo followed him silently.

The two walked out of the changing area and looked around to see if anything was out of place. Noticing that Nono, the students and teacher were inside and sitting against the back wall furthest from where they excited the changing room. Sighing to themselves walked to the middle of the room and got into a fighting stance calling on their flames and boxes.

'Can Yamamoto really be a match of this evil looking man?' questioned the students thoughtfully. Not wanting to voice said question and make themselves look stupid. 'I guess we will have to wait and see.''

Takeshi held that bamboo stick in front of him like a weapon, waiting for the attack at any moment. He knew that his classmates were puzzled by the bamboo stick he was holding. He ignored them and focused on his opponent. The carefree grin was washed away and determination and seriousness took over in his eyes and features. He readied himself to attack. Suddenly his necklace lit and he froze, staring down at it he closed his eyes and concentrated on the presence that was trying to make itself known. Dropping the stick to the floor he slowly took a seat on the floor next to the abandoned weapon.

"Rain, what has you so troubled?" , asked the first rain.

"Just puzzled why the ninth apologized earlier. Also why does everyone misjudge us, did we chose the wrong path? This is what everyone wanted and it's like they are second guessing our abilities now after all this time. Am I wrong to think that they no longer want us to the next generation?", shouted Takeshi, wanting answers for all the messed up feeling inside himself.

"Calm down, first. We are the rain the comfort in times of stress, pain and anguish. You are second guessing yourself along with the other guardians and Decimo. You haven't chosen the wrong path, you chose the path to follow us and there is no shame in that. Believe in yourself and the rest of the tenth generation. They want you to be the tenth generation but they don't want to see you in pain. Relax, remember I only agreed to remain in here while you are calm. The first generation has agreed to it like the tenth generation wanted. Although we feel when you are in trouble our your emotions are in turmoil. I think Decimo will have the hardest time with this since the class doesn't seem to like him. Be there to support him along with the other guardians. "

"Thank you, Asari. I am more calm now, we will talk and look out for Tsuna you won't have to worry about that. ", replied Takeshi, smiling.

"That is good to here. Don't forget I am here if you ever need anything."

While Takeshi was talking to Asari, everyone was watching the other closely. Only Squalo and Nono noticed the raging aura turn into a calming storm. Letting out a breath that neither noticed they were holding, they closed their eyes and relaxed knowing the rain had calmed down. The students were shocked from the sudden transformation of the ace baseball ace.

Standing in this type of stressful atmosphere was suffocation when suddenly shouted, "What in the hell is going on? What happened to Yamamoto, he is just sitting there with his eyes closed?"

Glancing around the group noticed Osamu standing and shouting at the still figure of Yamamoto in the middle of the room. Getting impatient he stomped his feet and started walking to the middle of the room until someone grabbed his arm to bring him to a stop.

"Don't interfere, he is talking to someone very important right now . Leave him alone he needs time to understand certain things.", replied nono. Motioning for Squalo to let go of the young man's arm he stood and walked over the window and looked out.

"What the fuck are you...", started Osamu when someone hit him over the head.

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP ALREADY! HE IS DOING SOMETHING IMPORTANT SO LEAVE HIM ALONE!", yelled Squalo tired of this students stupidity.

Naito Longchamp, walked forward and got between Squalo and Osamu knowing the danger he was getting himself into. "Okay, that's enough. Squalo he understands, he is just tired, like the rest of the student's, of sitting here."

Nono turned to the young man, that dared to stand up to a Varia member. Noticing the young man he walked over and got a good look at the young man. "Do I know you from somewhere, young man? It feels like I have met you before. "

"Yes, I am Naito Longchamp. We have met recently, as I just inherited. I am Tomaso Ottavo. Nice to meet you Nono. Like Decimo I will not officially take over until I finish high school in June." speaking Italian so that his identity would not be revealed to the class and teacher.

"It's very nice to meet you, Ottavo. I see you are in the same situation at Tsunayoshi and his guardians. Is it okay to assume that the class and teacher do not know if your situation.", replied Nono with a smile.

"Voiii, what are you chattering about?"

"I just informed Nono that I am Tomaso Ottavo, but I will not officially take over until I graduate in June. "

"Ugh, this trash is one of us. I can't believe he is a Mafioso. What is this world coming to when weaklings take over?"

"You know that Tsunayoshi and his guardians are not weaklings. You should know better than these students here and even myself. Having fought him and his guardians and seen the future, can you really call them weak?"

"We should switch back to Japanese, the students looked shocked out of their minds." replied Naito, after looking at his fellow classmates face and noticing they were about to start something.

"Yes, we should, but before that. I hope that you will join us later tonight when the students go to bed for a meeting with the other mafioso. Does Tsuna and his guardians know who you are?" asked Nono before quickly switching to Japanese.

Naito nodded to both accounts and turned to the other students smiling. Suddenly a noise from the center of the room caught everyone's attention, looking over they seen Yamamoto stand gracefully and turn to smile at Squalo.

"Are you ready to spar, Squalo?"

"Yeah, been waiting on you 'rain'."

"You are the 'rain' also, remember?"

"Yes, but you remind me more of the 'rain' than myself."

Bowing his head, Takeshi motioned him over to the center and got into a fighting stance once again. Bringing down his bamboo stick it suddenly turned to a long sword surrounded by blue flames.

Squalo brought out his sword and covered it with blue flames as well, getting into a battle stance. He rushed forward attempting to make the first move and hit the young Vongola 'Rain guardian. Although he acts like he hates the tenth generation Vongola he respects them for all the pain and suffering the group had to go through at such a young age. It all started with Mukuro and his gang then the represenative ring battle with us.

Takeshi anticipated the sharks move and dodged in, then moved in with his own attack. Now engrossed with his battle with the shark, he didn't notice his classmates looking at him in shock. As he moved about the room he hardly noticed the water around his feet or the screams of the people behind him as he moved from attack to attack.

The class screamed at the water rushing around their feet, wondering where the water had come from. As the class brought their attention from the water to the warriors, there was no other word fort he pair standing in front of them. Slowly being mesmerized by the pair, no one noticed the satisfied smirk gracing the features of the Ninth. As the pair came to a standstill, the students couldn't help but clap in shock.

At the sound of clapping, the duo turned to the group behind them and did a show bow. Neither knew what the clapping was all about but the two were so caught up in their spar to have noticed anything anyways.

Nono came forward in front of the two and smiled. Then turned around and addressed the group of students. "Excuse me everyone. Can I have your attention? If everyone would meet outside the dojo, these two need to get dressed and then go take a shower at the mansion. Next we will be going to the gym and boxing ring of the sun." Nono ushered them out before he went to address the 'rain's' again. "Don't forget that we are having a meeting at 9pm. Everyone will be there, so don't be late!"

"Yes, we will be there. Tsuna would use x-burner and Xanxus would shoot us respectively if we were late or didn't show up at all." Laughed the two while smiling.

Laughing at the statements from the two he nodded at them both and turned to meet up with the group of students. Walking out the dojo doors he took a minute to embrace the warmth of the sun. The Vongola Decimo and Varia have secretly made an agreement to work the together. Although the two parties individual flames worked an agreement together, the whole group doesn't know of the secret agreement. Smiling he hurried the students towards a building where the gym and boxing room where located. 'Wonder how they will react to the person they least expect practicing in that particular area?' A mischievous look entered his eyes as a smirk cam onto his lips. 'This will be fun.'
