A/N: Before the drabbles begin, I'd like to thank everyone that gave this story a chance. I never thought it would reach 200 favorites. Your support keeps this story going. And sorry for the late update, my little sister seems to have a sixth sense for when I'm trying to write.
To Hati: Glad you liked them. As for the meeting with Nana, it was a coincidence. I figured that since Shamal himself was a Mist that Reborn would eventually ask him about Shizuka's predicament. He just seems like the type that wants to know everything and he has no experience with Mists outside of Viper (who was assumed dead at this point, even if Reborn did suspect the Mist Arcobalenco was alive he'd probably have to fork over a lot of cash for information). You'll see Reborn manipulating Shizuka into interacting with the other guardians later and trying to rope her in as Tsuna's Mist. And Mukuro will show back up when he feels like it. *shrugs*
If anyone has any questions about the story (as long as it doesn't go into spoilers), feel free to leave it in a review or PM. As always, hope you all enjoy!
Extras, Part 2
Testing
Whenever Verde created a new device, he always tested them out on Reborn. Since their first encounter, Reborn was easily able to get under the scientist's skin. Rumors were circulating that the Sun Arcobalenco had a new student, it was time to give them a scare.
The chameleon suits were able to blend in with their surroundings by manipulating light. The skin tight suits resembled motion capture suits often used in filming and were a neon green when inactive. There were also cameras on top of the head pieces, giving Verde a live stream of what was happening.
While the Vongola heir and his guardians seemed unaware of his minion's presence, something seemed... off. He switched the lense to pick up on heat signatures and was stumped to see what appeared to be an extra person. He switched between the normal vision and thermal imaging, his interest peeked. It was a legend in the flame community that there were Mist users crafty enough to escape the call of death.
After his test, Verde noted that children were able to see past the cloaking and that dying will ghosts were much more than a story. He'd have to check this out for himself.
Awkward Transition
Tsuna and Shizuka were both seven when Shizuka first had the idea to make herself visible to others. It involved making her flames denser and dimming the light of her flames, an exhausting process since she was still experimenting with her abilities. When she solidified she let out a started shriek, face planting onto the ground as gravity acted on her body for the first time.
Shizuka moved sluggishly and she constantly ran into walls, forgetting that she couldn't faze through them. She could only hold the form for ten minutes and she had to return to her grave stone soon after. After meeting Daichi, a boy that swept the temple grounds, she discovered that her recovery would speed up. "Be gone, evil spirit!" An old man yelled, shaking what was essentially a pompom. The noise was annoying and it kept smacking her in the face.
"Daichi! Tell him I'm not evil!" Shizuka cried, the boy gripped the priest's hand and shook his head. "It's a tanuki." He states, watching the girl return to her gravestone to sulk.
Mafia Island (Part 1)
When Reborn invited the entire family on an island vacation, Tsuna took the offer with a grain of salt. There was no way the sadistic baby wouldn't spin this into some recruitment or training opportunity. He could only hope that he wouldn't drag his mother and his civilian friends into any danger.
The entire family, along with Tsuna's friends, were all aboard a cruise ship. Lambo and I-Pin were running around the deck while Gokudera tried to keep the young assassins from destroying anything. His shouts could be heard throughout the ship, Tsuna sighed. Shizuka floated beside him, wearing a garish Hawaiian shirt and shorts, large sunglasses and a straw hat. "Maybe if you rush through what Reborn has planned, you'll have a chance to relax." Shizuka says optimistically.
"That's easy for you to say. How did you convince Reborn to bring Masahiro with us anyways?" Tsuna asks, watching as the adult Cloud's face turned green as he ran to the edge of the ship. They both sweat dropped. "He didn't. Apparently he's related to one of Reborn's colleagues and insisted on coming with us. I never knew that he could get sea sick."
Mafia Island (Part 2)
There was a mixture of shady suited men and people wearing casual clothes on the island. Nana and the others had run off to the amusement park while Reborn lead Tsuna to another part of the island. There was the loud cry of an eagle and a blond baby wearing army fatigues dropped down from the sky. Shizuka just deadpanned. "Yep, he dragged you here for training. I'm just gonna-" She gave a startled squeak as a bullet embedded itself in the ground inches away from her feet.
"Both of you brats need training, especially if you plan on being your brother's guardian." Reborn states, Shizuka scowled. "I knew I should have gone with Hiro." She grumbles, crossing her arms. "Just tell us what hell you're going to put us through and let's get this over with." Tsuna states.
"You just had to say it!" Shizuka accused as they dodged a rain of bullets, approaching a cliff. Below were sharp rocks and a current that threatened to drag them under if they weren't impaled first. "You were the one that said to go along with it! What do you suggest we do?!" He exclaims, Shizuka's eyes glinted. "I'm going to make us fly. Just trust me." "That makes me trust you even less!"
Jet packs. Shizuka had created jet packs that launched them into the sky, Shizuka letting out a whoop of excitement as Tsuna screamed in terror. "How do you work this thing?!" Colonello watched the siblings struggle to maneuver in the air. "You should have told me the girl was a Mist, I would have adjusted the course." He states, watching in amusement as Shizuka tried to calm her brother.
Mafia Island (Part 3)
A siren sounded as an fleet of ships approached the moving island, a small figure in a leather outfit and helmet on the lead ship. He was as small as Colonello so it was easy to connect him as being another one of Reborn's colleagues. "Are they seriously attacking an island full of mafioso? Is he a complete moron?" Shizuka asks bluntly, watching the civilians take shelter in the hotel. "That idiot, this area is supposed to be neutral." Reborn says, sounding irritated. "They've been doing this on a monthly basis. You'd think after losing half their fleet Skull would have learned by now." Colonello says, shaking his head.
Although the island was filled with mafioso, there was no clear chain of command since they were from different families. Shizuka watched as the men bickered like children, trying to determine who would lead their charge. "Would you morons shut up already!" Shizuka yelled, the men stopped brawling to glare at her. "You are mafia men, not children brawling on the playground. If you're going to fight, fight the morons attacking this place! There has to be some sort of ranking to determine who is in charge!" She snapped.
"That would be Vongola." Reborn says, gaining the attention of the mafia men. Tsuna's face paled and Shizuka facepalmed. "I really shouldn't have said anything." She mutters.
