*Setting off fireworks* Now the story had exceeded 4000+ views and has over 160 follows~ Keep those numbers going!
And as you can see from the title, I skipped the one with Haru since I want to quickly get the stupid Daily Life Arc done and over with. And I've already said that I'll be skipping over some episodes so it might take seven to eight chapters till we get to the Kokuyo Arc. From there, I won't follow as closely to the canon since we'll be focusing on Felicia during that arc.
As the opening song starts, the title appears on screen before changing to show Tsuna with a clear blue sky background. He starts walking before stopping when Felicia appeared in front of him with Reborn in her arms.
She smiled while Reborn looked up to him as his partner, Leon, shifted into a gun.
Pulling the trigger and the flash of a Dying Will Bullet, the next scene shows Dying Will Tsuna doing amazing feats like jumping high into the sun and running in high speed before he returned to normal, the flames dissipating, smiling as Felicia appeared next to him.
The next scene features Gokudera, Yamamoto, Sasagawa Ryohei and Hibari Kyoya showing off their Attacks/Weapons in full motion before showing the X-Gloves and Tsuna.
The next sequence showcases I-pin doing kung-fu and Lambo throwing greandes around before being smacked into the 4th wall by Reborn.
The next scene is Tsuna and Felicia with Reborn in her arms again, looking into the sunset before turning to find their friends and allies before shifting to a final group shot of TYL I-pin, Ryohei, Gokudera, Hibari, Yamamoto, Bianchi, Dino, and TYL Lambo in the backgrounds while Dying Will Tsuna and Felicia stayed behind Reborn in the middle.
~CHAPTER 6: The Prefect's Avoidance of Boredom!~
Felicia sighed as she looked through her notes while discreetly moving away from her leader who was literally leaking a dark aura. Seriously, you can clearly see it! She figured it could be from last week where Namimori was almost wiped from the face of the earth. Well, she was partly to blame since half of the damage was by her. It all started with the appearance of a muggle witch, Miura Haru who literally and narrowly exploded her face in.
Now it's not shocking for a non-magical folk, or muggle, to have magic since it could mean that she has wizardry ancestry. Heck, even both Kyoko and Hana were revealed to be muggle witches. What she's more concerned of is that the girl has no utter control over her magic!
Again, not strange since muggles, first and foremost, have no clue of the existence of magic, except for the mafia. So it's not strange for them to lose control over their magic if they were to have discovered their magical potential. Normally, they would have gone to Hogswart, a school for young mages but that's only if they're children since it's easier for them to adapt to their expanding magical core.
Most muggle mages, however, developed theirs when they reached their teens, making it harder for them to control, which is why the noble house governing the area will send a teacher to help control their magic since they came be very destructive, and can blow up half a country to smithereens if not careful.
Believe me, it has happened once before. And that one time is enough for them...
(A/N: Which is why they have estates all over the world. It's sort of their way of marking their own territory.)
What's even more is that... She can't believed the chants the girl was saying. If Haru wasn't a muggle, she would have thought she was the long-lost cousin of Luna with the way she was saying out gibberish languages, thinking they are incantations when they are most definitely not! It's almost like she's saying a curse in a dead language or something!
Long story short, Haru declared war on her for 'tainting an innocent baby's heart', namingly Reborn. She scoffed at that; Reborn? An innocent baby? That's the same as saying the world is flat, which it's not.
Though what Haru did was a horrible idea; you do not, I repeat, do not declare war against another mage. Especially one from the noble house. In the mafia, it means you want to declare war on their family. Which... is the dumbest thing you can do when you're not in any known houses or are a muggle mage. In the end, Haru then have a lot of respect for her, which then turned to admiration and declared herself an apprentice of sorts, even though she has crappy control over her magic.
'Surprisingly...' Felicia thought as she sorted her paper before the meeting starts. 'She's quite talented in Potions... Then again, she is from Midori Middle; one of the toughest school to get into. I'm more surprised that her parents didn't even know she has magic. With the fact that a simple 'Lumos' from her is equivalent to a 'Bombarda'.'
She then glanced at Hibari who is slightly in a better mood than before. 'Even though the damage had been discreetly repaired by the Vongola, Hibari-san still hasn't forgive us yet.' Even though he doesn't know and hopes to keep it that way...
As the student representatives slowly filed into the room, Felicia stood beside Hibari but made sure to have a three-foot distance from him since she knows of his dislike of these meetings. So the meeting began and all was well...
"So, like the printout says, those are the room assignments for the second semester committees." One representative said.
"Hey, what's up with this?" A girl with a pony tail questioned, "There's a committee that's using the reception room. That's so unfair, which one is it?"
Felicia watched as the two representatives sitting by her sides paled before clearing her throat. The three flinched and turned to her as she tapped her pen on her clipboard before shifting her eyes to Hibari who coolly stood by the window. Hey, she maybe as infamous as Hibari even though she's not as violent as him, she does show mercy to those who don't deserve his wrath.
Getting the hint, the girl who spoke out paled.
"Do you have a problem?" Hibari asked.
"No, I do not! I'm very sorry, Hibari-san!" The girl yelled an apology as she bowed to him.
"Then, you may proceed." Hibari said as the girl sat back down.
"But isn't it weird, using the reception room for the Discipline Committee?" A guy who had a group of students behind him said.
"Yeah, it is." another one of those guys said.
"Yeah! Yeah!" the group yelled in agreement.
Felicia noted the group had belonged to the Tree Planting Committee. Wasn't Kusakabe-san supposed to deny entrance of more than one representative? How did they get in here? Well, she shouldn't be saying since she's technically a second representative of the Discipline Committee but she's there as the secretary and her job is to take down notes... Secondary job is to make sure no one pisses Hibari off if they want to live to see the next sunrise.
Although nobody had said anything, not since after the last guy who commented on her being there and winded up in the hospital the next day. You don't question the skylark's decision; his word is law, after all. As she had found out quite early.
"We're against the Discipline Committee getting special treatment!" Another guy said.
"Against it! Against it! Totally against it!" They yelled.
'Did they practice synchronization before the meeting?' Felicia sweat-dropped.
"What are you, the 'good friend' committee?" Hibari said. "There should only be one representative for each committee."
Even though he's not showing, Felicia could feel the simmering anger underneath. She grimaced, praying that the 'idiot club' stopped with their 'we stick together' speech.
"The Tree Planting Committee is different." the person sitting said.
"Yeah, we have to deal with issues such as global warming." another one said.
"We are very conscious, aren't we?" another said.
"Yeah!" they all agreed.
The Brit covered her face in vexation, 'They're dead. They are so dead.'
"Oh, really?" Hibari narrowed his eyes at them.
Felicia slumped her shoulders, knowing she'll be seeing a pile of bodies just waiting to be clean.
xXxOOOOxXx
After finishing the last bit of paperwork, Felicia stretched her arms out to work out the kinks before placing the stacks on Kusakabe's desk. Looking out the window, she sweat-dropped at the body pile that belonged to the Tree Planting Committee.
'Uwaah, it's no wonder Hibari-san has the whole town under his wraps... And it's no wonder the police didn't send him to jail... I bet he'll bite them to death for going against him...' She shuddered.
"Even though he is the head of the Discipline Committee for Namimori Middle," She turned to her right shoulder when she heard the squeaky voice to find Reborn with a laptop opened to reveal a profile of the chairman. "He holds the position as the most dangerous guy in school. Hibari Kyoya."
"Reborn-san?" Felicia called.
"Sounds interesting."
Felicia paled, "Please tell me you're not..." His black eyes glinted. "...We're doomed..."
xXxOOOOxXx
Then we find Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto on the roof, eating the lunchbox Felicia was given from Haru who ambushed her this morning with a 'love-filled lunchbox of love'. When did the admiration turn into love, she has no clue. Seeing that she couldn't find the time to eat with them due to her having a committee meeting during lunch hour, she gave the lunch box to the boys to share.
Then simultaneously, the boys yawned one after the other starting with Tsuna, then Gokudera and lastly Yamamoto.
"Why were you yawning?" Tsuna asked.
"He was imitating me." Gokudera said as he glared at Yamamoto.
"I wasn't imitating you. I was bored so it just came out." Yamamoto said cheerfully.
"You didn't even give a warning. You're ten years too early of yawning in front of the Tenth!" Gokudera said.
"Come on, it's just a yawn."
Gokudera was seriously mad; he stood up and pulled out his dynamites. "If you ever decide to yawn in front of the Tenth again, I'll stuff these in your mouth!" Gokudera threatened as he lit his dynamite.
"Again with the fireworks." Yamamoto joked, making Gokudera even angrier.
"These aren't fireworks!" Gokudera yelled.
"There, there. You're doing it again." Tsuna tried to calm Gokudera down.
"But he's being cocky!" Gokudera said.
"You don't always have to put the blame on me." Yamamoto said.
"I'm the Tenth's right hand man!" Gokudera proudly said. "You're like something gross on the bottom of his shoe."
"Why don't you two just stop that?" Tsuna said.
"If the Tenth says so." Gokudera said as he put out the flames on the dynamites before resting his back on the fence. "But it really is boring. Is there really nothing interesting around here?"
"There is!" Came the familiar squeaky voice.
Tsuna turned to his left where he heard the voice, "Reborn?" Only to be pelted by chestnuts.
"Ciaossu!" Reborn said as he sat next to Tsuna. He was in a big chestnut costume that only showed his face. He rolled to his right, hitting Tsuna's arm with his spikes.
"Ow, ow! It's poking me!" Tsuna yelled in pain, "What's with that costume?"
"A big surprise with a big chestnut?" Gokudera guessed.
(A/N: A pun made up of "Bikkuri" = surprising and "Big Kuri" = chestnut)
"That's right? He got it right?" Tsuna asked Reborn.
"Nope. This is a sea urchin." Reborn answered.
"He's going along with it."
"That's funny." Yamamoto laughed.
"This is a camouflage for spying on people who commute on long-distance trains." Reborn explained.
"A hundred and a hundred more people will notice that." Tsuna pointed out.
"Everyone's too scared of the spikes to come close so it's easy to relax." An image of Reborn in a train full of people wearing the suit and the passengers stood well away from his spikes appeared in mind.
"It's got nothing to do with spying!" The brunette shouted. "Besides that, where's Feli-chan? She should be done with the meeting by now."
"Ah, she said that she had some last minute work to do so she'll be missing class." Reborn informed. Tsuna nodded, knowing the Brit couldn't get out of work lest she'll invoke the prefect's wrath. He shuddered, even in elementary school, he heard stories of the notorious Hibari Kyoya who even has the most steeled adults crumbling to the ground and begging for mercy. "Also, this suit is made by Bianchi for me as a project in Home Economics when she was in elementary school."
"The Poison Cooking one?" Tsuna asked, remembering the poison cakes that one time. He was lucky that Felicia was there with an antidote.
"So whoever touches these spikes will go to heaven in thirty seconds." With that, Tsuna paled and fell to the ground with a 'thud'. Reborn then took out a stopwatch. "Exactly thirty seconds. How precise."
"Hey, Tenth! Tenth!" Gokudera called out as he shook the fainted boy. "Are you okay?!"
"It's okay. He'll wake up in ten minutes. Until then, I know a place where you can rest Tsuna." Reborn said.
xXxOOOOxXx
Felicia ran with all her might towards the reception room. Mentally cursing Reborn for the fake message he had no doubt sent her, telling her a change of place for the meeting which took her all the way to the other other side of school. She felt stupid for falling for it; there's no more meeting scheduled today.
As she neared the reception room, she noticed the door's opened and cursed. Skidding to a halt as she reached the door, she peered in to find Hibari and a Dying Will Tsuna. Both Gokudera and Yamamoto are dangling by the opened window, unconscious in the prefect's grip while Reborn is somewhere in his secret hideout.
"I'll beat you with my dying will!" Shouted Tsuna. Leon then changed into a slipper which Tsuna use to whack Hibari over the head. She flinched and paled at that. Was he out of his mind?!
Then she noticed that the prefect had loosen his grip and the two would have fallen to their death if it weren't for Tsuna who rushed to their rescue... Of course that, in fact, has his back wide open as Hibari move to strike when...
"Incendio!"
The prefect jumped out of the way when a flash of fire erupted from his side. He turned to find Felicia glaring fiercely at him, wand out and pointed towards him as she shouted for another 'Incendio', making her way towards the boys while making sure the prefect stayed far from them. Once there, she threw out a 'Ventus', the spiraling gust of wind propelled the prefect back to a wall, briefly knocking him out before turning to the three boys, Tsuna's flame long gone out.
"Tsuna, put your arms around me! Then close your eyes and take a deep breath!" She shouted as she grabbed both Yamamoto and Gokudera from his grasp and focused on one place. As he did, he felt the whole world twisted around him and for a split second, he felt like he's being squeezed through a very tight rubber tube before it felt normal again. Opening his eyes and letting out a shaky sigh, he found himself at a secluded corridor and in front of the Nurse's Office.
"Phew... Been a while since I last apparated." Felicia whispered as she gently dropped both Yamamoto and Gokudera onto the beds. The nurse was not in so she didn't have to explain what happened since she felt tired from doing an apparition.
"That's a type of magical transportation method mages use to get around places, especially in tight situations like just now." She explained after seeing the confused expression on Tsuna's face as she conjured another spare uniform for him to change in. "Though not the most reliable since we might ended up halfway stuck in a rock if I were to lose my focus for even a bit."
"Hiee?!" Tsuna shrieked.
Moments after Gokudera and Yamamoto woke up, Reborn finally told them of his plan.
"What?! You made us run into him on purpose?" Tsuna exclaimed.
"It was a dangerous gamble." Reborn confessed.
"That's why I didn't want you to go along with it!" Felicia yelled. "We're lucky that it ended with only a blow and some scratches!"
"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" Tsuna asked Felicia.
"It was real-life training so you didn't get soft from the peace." Reborn said. "For training, real-life is the best."
"What are you talking about?" Tsuna said.
Felicia stared at the baby, 'So that's what it is? I thought he wanted to recruit Hibari into the family.' She flinched when she felt her phone vibrating. She doesn't need to see the name to know who it's from as she flipped it open.
"Dang, to be beaten by that guy..." Gokudera muttered.
"What have you done?" Tsuna said in exasperation. "That guy's going to be after me!"
"...Actually, I think he'll target me instead..." Felicia muttered. Tsuna turned to her to see that she had her phone out before paling at the realization.
"That's right! Feli-chan's part of the Discipline Committee! Hibari-san will take this as an act of treason or something!" Tsuna flailed around.
"Calm down, Tsuna. I can handle myself. If anything else, I do know a few advanced healing spells." That didn't calmed the boy down.
xXxOOOOxXx
Felicia nervously stood in front of the reception room. It was after school and the school is mostly empty, save for the club activities. Her friends are waiting by the school gates. She did tell them to go home without her but they were adamant to wait until she's done.
Steeling her will, she knocked on the door and called out, "P-Potter Felicia, coming in!" As she slid opened the door, she had expected a tonfa to be thrown at her way or maybe the prefect to attack her on sight but none of those came. Instead, Hibari just sat in his chair with Kusakabe standing by the side looking at her with pity and worried eyes. The office looking as if there wasn't a fight happening here in the first place.
"Eto... You wanted to see me?" She asked. She inwardly flinched at the narrowed gray eyes that were trained on her. She gulped as she prepared to explain her actions just now, which means she'll have to tell him the truth. Lying is not an option when dealing with a violent skylark. "...I can explain what had happened. You may not believe but please, just hear me out."
Then she launched into a long and detailed explanation about her being a witch, the existence of magic while leaving out the parts about them being affiliated with the mafia. Once she's done, she braced herself for a flying tonfa to the face. She wouldn't put it pass him to do that if, a one-in-a-million chance, he does believe her.
Of course, the prefect has to surprise her again by saying, "What makes you think I don't know about you?" Seeing her surprised expression, he continued, "My family has past dealings with magic, especially with your family, the Potters. There's also the fact that an older cousin of mine is a witch. You're familiar with Chang Cho, am I right?"
Felicia's eyes widened. Chang Cho is a fellow witch and a friend of hers by one year who she had met through another friend, Cedric Diggory. It was also her who suggested that she moved to Namimori if she wanted to lay low from the mafia and dark mages for a while. The last that she heard from her is that she and Cedric are helping a relative of hers in China so she wanted Felicia to head to Namimori, Japan since it's under the protection of her relatives but warned for they tend to be violent.
She felt stupid for a second time that day. She should have connected the dots; Should have known Cho was referring to the Hibari.
'And tends to be violent? Seriously, Cho? I think the amount of violence this guy gives out warrants therapy...'
"So you knew all along?" Felicia asked, slowly realizing the fact he had known it was her who had caused the destruction on Namimori last week. Well, a part of it.
"Enough to know the details." He said. "And seeing that your family entrusted Namimori's protection to the Hibari, I feel I should return the favor."
She blinked, "Entrusted? What do you mean?"
This time, it was Kusakabe who had been silent the whole time to speak up, "According to Kyo-san, your family entrusted Namimori to his family so they could focus their attention on other parts of their territory. And seeing as the Potters are one of the most powerful houses, they have a large area to oversee."
She nodded, not wondering why the second-in-command knows about their family. You don't go around standing by the prefect's side and calling him by his first name without getting bitten by just standing there and looking pretty. According what she had heard, these two had been seen together even before they started middle school so they must have a lot of respect towards the other. (Most likely Hibari tolerates his presence more)
There's also the fact she felt a little bit of magic in him. Though it's not enough for him to be a wizard, it still means he has magic in his blood.
"I see... Sorry, I'm kind of out of the loop on this, seeing no one told me about this." Felicia said as she nervously scratched her cheek. "So what do you mean by returning the favor? Did my family owe you something?"
"Not quite." Kusakabe said. "Since your family has been watching over and protecting Namimori for so long, Kyo-san's family felt honored to take over their duties when they passed the protection of the town to them. Since then, they fulfilled their duties to watch over the town and, if a Potter were to come back, protect them as they did for us in the past."
That explains why Hibari didn't fight her all these time. She always did wonder why after she displayed her fighting prowess towards a group of bullies who had been harassing Tsuna, right in front of the whole student body and the prefect included. She had heard how he'll fight someone if they ever show the tiniest bit of being strong at the drop of a hat so she was prepared to fight him but he didn't and just punished the already bloodied bullies.
She shuddered at the image, 'That was the first time I'd ever see Hibari-san being the vicious carnivore he is...'
"So the real reason why you wanted me to be the secretary is because..."
Kusakabe's face turned grim, "We have heard from Ms Chang that the dark mages had taken out your parents, and that she's sending you here for your protection and training."
Felicia nodded. By her being the secretary, no one would question why she has the Discipline Committee watching her back. That also explains why Hibari 'punish' those who question her place. Questioning her is like questioning Hibari. And questioning him is just asking for a tonfa to the face.
Which also means that Felicia's word is law to him, and thus able to order him around... She immediately threw that out of the window since she's not suicidal or mentally challenged enough to try it. She valued her life, thank you very much.
"I see. W-Well, thank you and keep up the good work?" She smiled awkwardly, the words feeling foreign in her mouth. Of all people she would thanked, the skylark is at the very bottom.
She flinched when she saw the smirk, "Of course I want compensation for your protection." 'Indeed.' She thought. You don't simply do a favor without asking for something in return, after all. There's always a catch. "And it wouldn't do if the heiress to the Potter family is a weak herbivore."
"Eh?"
xXxOOOOxXx
"Hiee?! Feli-chan, what happened to you?!" Tsuna yelled as the Brit slightly limped to them.
She nervously laughed while wincing as she nursed a bruise on her left shoulder. "Just doing a bit of training with Hibari-san. I'll tell you later."
"Why, that bastard! How dare he harm Hime! I'll blow him to kingdom come!" Gokudera shouted as he was about to storm back into school if not for Yamamoto to stop him by the collar.
"Mah mah. Calm down, Gokudera."
After calming the bomber down, they began walking towards the gate. Then, a sound of a bike's ring came towards them. They all turned to see a certain cook riding her bike.
"I've come to pick you up, Reborn." Bianchi said as she stopped in front of them.
"Guh, big sis?" Gokudera flinched before grabbing his stomach.
The three turned to him, 'There it is, Bianchi-phobia.' Tsuna thought.
"T-Tenth, I'll go ahead!" the bomber yelled as he ran away.
Tsuna just stared at his poor friend while Felicia whispered, "He really is trying hard..."
"Really, Hayato is too conscious." Bianchi said.
All of a sudden Lambo popped out of the basket with two grenades on either hand. "Lambo-san is here too! Reborn, brace yourself!" Lambo yelled but he lost balance and fell backwards, blowing himself up.
"He exploded himself!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"Gotta… Stay… Calm..." Lambo said as he slowly got up.
"Ciaossu." Reborn said, now in Bianchi's basket and they rode away.
Back in the reception room, Hibari stood by the window looking down at the three teens and Lambo walked down the sidewalk, talking about things. He watched as Yamamoto and Tsuna stood by each of the witch's side as she slowly healed herself while carrying Lambo in her arms.
He smirked, a small cut faintly visible on his left cheek. Remnants of their fight previously. "How interesting..."
Little did he know, Reborn has something far more interesting in stored for him in the future.
As the ending song starts, it shows Tsuna sitting on the grass looking at the sunset with wind blowing. Felicia by his left with reborn on her lap, both looking at the sunset as well.
Tsuna then closed his eyes as images of his friends appeared starting with Gokudera and ending with Kyoko.
As he opened his eyes, Felicia turned to him with a smile. Tsuna then turned to her with his smile. The both of them watched as Reborn hopped onto the Brit's shoulder before looking back to the sunset.
The next scene shows the teens standing up just as the screen panned to oversee Namimori and the evening sky, signifying the end of the song.
So I have revealed that the girls Kyoko, Haru and Hana are going to be more involved than in either manga and anime.
At first I didn't want to include the girls since they're practically useless but they suddenly grow on me and I want to show the concept of 'muggle mages' as I called them. Now don't expect them to be kickass witches since they only excel in one field; Kyoko is healing since I felt she seems to be more of the support role, Haru is Potions since you need to be smart to get into Midori Middle, and Hana is Alchemy, I guess.
The only one, as of now, to know of their status is Felicia since Haru confronted her when she was alone, with Reborn or Tsuna around. But that will change once the Kokuyo Arc comes about.
And yes, Hibari actually knows about Felicia being a witch. I mean, I did say that her ancestors had entrusted Namimori to his family so how could he not know about her? Why do you think he hunted her down just so she could be the committee secretary?
Being the only Potter living in the whole world and the only heir to the High Noble House of Potter, Hibari felt like it's his duty to guard her as much as he guards Namimori. After all, Namimori is under the Potter's protection. This will be explained in a filler chapter I will be doing.
This is also the reason why Felicia didn't know since the last Potter to have this knowledge is her father. That's why she thought it's her responsibility to train the three girls, thinking it's her family's fault for neglecting Namimori.
Also yes, I made Cho his cousin since she's the only known Asian mage and ues, cedric is here since the Triward Tournament did not happen.
Also I have a question: you know how Reborn said that Bianchi made the suit for him when she was in elementary school? Does that mean that woman had loved Reborn even as a kid? How far does her love go?
Until next time~
