Each and one of a person have a story of their own lives.
Some could be happy…
Some could be devastating….
Some could be downright unfortunate…
And there are many examples of a person's story life….
But these…
These young children….
Bore of something beautiful of the world…
All almost perished into the depths of darkness…
Find one another were no easy task…..
Yet they were able to….
Many at times problems would occur…..
But they….
Young children had done them all….
Hibari Kyoya was born within the high rankings of the family….
He never had to worry about anything along side with how to improve his skills further…..
The Hibari family had been famous for killing and for working with the police…..
They are on neither side of the world….
But that's fine….
Needless to say, Kyoya was one of the best in the generations had ever seen….
Yet no one paid attention to him…
"Ah, my cute little Tetsuya, such great intelligence you have!" He who was just bore into this world had been ignored by everyone….
Kusakabe Tetsuya, his cousin and first heir to the Hibari family…
He had no hatred to his cousin who had been constantly caring for him like an older brother, but his family members beg to differ…..
His father would stare at him like he was no important…..
His mother was constantly out of the Hibari compound like a free bird…..
Just as to say, within the first year after then he saw his mother…..
Laid peacefully on her deathbed, her coffin….
Being a one year old doesn't mean naivety….
And Kyoya did what he did….
For the first time, he had cried in front of his dead mother since her cover wasn't on top of her…
He desperately wanted to know what love is and climbed over the 'high' fence…
Reaching out of his cold, cold mother…
Shaking her with his little strength, begging her to come back to him…
But that was that…
He could have the dead back again…
Within the next 2 years, he had tried his luck on what is love…
Only to find cold stares back at him…
A family gathering would appear and Kyoya would have to prove himself to be able to defend himself despite age 3…
As if defeating someone at few months of age wasn't enough…
Tetsuya wasn't like Kyoya who had the means of already having to do something astonishing at a powerful record…
But he was still the favored…
On the next year, only then his father took notice of his birthday that year…
And gave him a pair of tonfas….
To anyone, it may have meant nothing….
But Kyoya kept well of the treasure…
His second treasure…
Why second, you would ask…..
His first was whatever his mother could give right from the start to his first year….
Still he had uses of them…
Very fascinating uses of them…
That year was the year where Hibari Kyoya was named the prodigy….
On another year, the Hibari family had their first crisis…..
With the fact someone wanted to take the heir's head…
Kyoya and Tetsuya were still as close as ever until that one day….
It was the day where it had been normal; if it wasn't for the fact the enemies were attacking the old Japanese Mansion. They escaped to find a good spot to find. The Hibari compound is usually full of hiding places for people to hide, but anyone related to the Hibari had to fight, except for the two kids of course.
"Tetsu-nii…" Kyoya mumbled his name as Tetsuya pulled the young raven across the compound.
"We have to keep quiet, Kyoya. They might hear us." True enough, enemies came surrounding the two children….
Despite being the younger one, Kyoya was braver than the 8 year old Tetsuya.
And Kyoya did what he did….
He took out his treasured tonfas and started to fight against them. Tetsuya ran away to save his life, knowing that Kyoya was a genius in fighting.
Kyoya had been slashed and cut, oozing out blood like water flowing out of a dam…
But Kyoya had never felt something so unbelievable, and it had never felt so enjoyable.
"Hold it, brat. You wouldn't want him to die, would you?" One of the men smirked as he pulled up a struggling Tetsuya.
"Kyoya run!" Tetsuya shouted, but something clicked within the raven as the young little heir was hit unconsciousness. Kyoya smirked.
His eyes gleamed in excitement. "I'll bite you to death." The men laughed until he did something that would shock the entire Hibari generations from years now.
He killed one of them in sheer glee. Apparently, the tonfas were different from the normal ones as it grew spikes, killing the man immediately.
What really scared and scarred them was Kyoya dug out the man's heart and ate it. At that time the rest of the family members came in when they saw the mess.
Hibari Kyoya ate hearts of the enemies, gaining the reputation of a monster.
Tetsuya was told to avoid his own cousin, Kyoya who suffered for the next 2 years in isolation and loneliness…
"What a monster…"
"Demon child…"
You're not my son….
Such a terrible child….
Kyoya had learned that he could appreciate peace when he finally was pushed out of the Hibari compound for the sake of their heir. He was one of the candidates too, yet they treated him like he was never there.
"Why does Kyoya have to leave?!" Tetsuya at age 9 was an unhappy child. Ever since that attack, he was made to avoid any contact with him.
"You don't understand, Tetsuya-kun." They would always give the same reply no matter what, and that hadn't satisfied the child. He ran towards Kyoya with pleading eyes.
"Kyoya, please don't leave."
If there is actually one thing that he had ever learnt, he had realized that he was a true carnivore among everyone. They were only waiting for a time where the entire family would crumble under Tetsuya's hands, whether unintentionally or intentionally.
"You should stay, my young boy." His grandfather was the only person to be proud of his achievement of protecting the heir. His eyes softened on the young raven. He had only truly killed after Tetsuya was unconscious, showing that he had cared for the heir's purity and innocence.
"Stay away from me, you weak worthless herbivores." Kyoya slapped away the one and only hand that was held dear to him, his precious cousin. He glared at the adults who flinched and scoffed.
"Indeed worthless herbivores." Kyoya stroll his bag out towards the door as his relative angrily shouted.
"Get far away from him, monster!" Kyoya grinned with a glint on his eyes.
"Kyoya….." His grandfather called him.
Kyoya respected the old man and gave his attention.
"Yes, Grandfather?"
"You'll always be welcome here, my boy." Kyoya gave a small minuscule smile which was only caught by his grandfather, since the rest were eager to throw him out.
School for Kyoya was the main topic of boring, so he did want he wanted to do…
"For breaking rules and crowding, I'll bite you to death." The infamous person had to be himself.
He tracked down the playbook from the police department (How he got them is another story), making sure to close down every single crime that was in the area.
But despite that, as a child, he was definitely bored.
Except secretly staring at 2 young kids playing on their own…
The girl was as bright as a sun while the boy was like the bright sky…..
Kyoya knew sometimes he would long for his cousin whom he was sure to avoid. He knew that his cousin hadn't known the nature of the family yet except for its history…
And maybe he should bite those elders for not doing a good job with the older raven's education.
And maybe see his grandfather once more.
The girl turned her head and smiled. "Kyoya-sempai!"
She waved her hand to him like nothing's going to happen.
"Hiee!" The boy screeched like it was the end of the world, being afraid of being bitten by the older child.
"For crowding, I'll bite you to death." He took out his tonfas, going into offence mode.
"But Kyoya-sempai, two's a company and three's a crowd. You're crowding with us!" The boy paled at the sentence.
"Sorry Hibari-san…"
What's to apologize for?
The girl giggled as the boy stumbled over whatever heaven and earth would do to him.
"Come join us!" Kyoya sighed but his actions said otherwise.
Day by day, a few more joined them but it was alright….
They were strong in their own way, especially when he had met Sasagawa Kyoko….
He had heard of bright creature to be the most poisonous, and he had never taken it to account…..
Until Kyoko appeared with a big smile with the most poisonous tactics he had ever seen…
And no, it wasn't a nice sight.
Kurokawa Hana joined since she was Kyoko's best friend along with Miura Haru.
Yamamoto Takeshi felt better coming here than the bunch of worthless herbivores who decided to create cruelty….
Sasagawa Ryohei came in since he had nothing to gain and stayed along with his sister. (Protective Brother Mode)
Things took down the worse for each of them…
Takeshi's family was gone overnight along in a fire with only Takeshi alive….
The Sasagawa siblings had theirs gone in a fatal car accident while driving to pick them up…
He had known the rest, but it was crystal clear that each of them was broken, including the shy little herbivorous (Carnivorous) child.
The girl gave them a choice: To start anew with her and him or staying here to solve their problems.
Hana gladly joined since her abusive father (monkey, as she would say) was of no importance to her…
Haru tagged along since her parents hadn't cared about her existence anyway…..
They all accepted, because they need a new family…
A new family with strong bonds…..
On that day he left Namimori, Japan for Italy, his grandfather had secretly known the fact and visited him just before he left.
"Kyoya, young boy…" Kyoya turned to his grandfather and slightly bowed.
"Grandfather."
"Thank you for taking care of your cousin. No matter where you are, my young boy, the Hibari compound will always be your home. Now go along and have fun." His grandfather smiled brightly at him, not knowing that it would be the last he would see him ever again…
Nuvola woke up with a grunt as he tried to recall his memories of the test.
"Kyo-kun, are you alright? Rosa-chan and Tsu-kun told me what had happened." Nuvola struggled getting up since he refused any help from anyone.
"Hn." You have nothing to do with this.
"Mou, Kyo-kun. That's no way to tell your girlfriend and wife that. I'm in charge of your life, now say it." Kyoko pouted as she crossed her arms sternly.
Kyoya kept his mouth shut as Rosa entered the room.
"Nuvola…. Are you alright over there? I hope I didn't hit you too hard this time." Rosa smiled sheepishly as she pushed the cart inside.
She took it as a yes when Kyoya smirked. "You fought."
Realizing the underlining statement, her mouth was open, speechless with the raven.
"You planned this?" Kyoya shook his head. Of course he wouldn't want that to happen. It was too dangerous for anyone to be around him.
"Ne Kyo-kun…" Kyoko stared at him carefully as he raised an eye. His mate wouldn't make such contact unless…
"Are you going to visit your grandfather later on?" Kyoya thought about it carefully and nodded.
Strangely since their origin originally came from Italy, his body was all the way here, not that he or any of the Hibari family had mind.
"Can I…. go with you?" Kyoko asked. Rosa just left the room when an incredibly small infant of few months came to grace them by crawling.
"Hn." Kyoya agree when he saw the young infant and stared. Kyoko knowing something was on, turned her head and gasped.
"Kyoka!" She rushed towards the little girl as Kyoya continued to crawl towards them. Kyoya on the other hand grabbed Kyoko, making the infant crawl towards them.
"Pa." Kyoka made a sound as she was determined to get to their location.
"Ma." Kyoka looked up as Kyoya hugged Kyoko, being possessive as he is.
Kyoka stared at them before grumbling, not wanting them to get together. Kyoko broke free of Kyoya's grasp and picked her up.
"Mummy so sorry, Kyoka. Your daddy is sill as possessive as ever." Kyoko took a glance at Kyoya who was robbed of his mate.
Apparently, they were both not receptive of drugs in their systems like the rest of the group, causing an all-famous incident within the group that refused to believe that The Hibari Nuvola Kyoya had manage to make Kyoko, one of the sweetest girls of the group, pregnant.
And [Oopsy Daisy] as their child came to be.
Well, it was not as bad as the three-some for Gokudera, Haru and Takeshi.
That was one big incident indeed.
But needless to say, everyone funnily one way or another had approved the ridiculous relationship.
"Kyoko, Kyoya, your son is in the hallway!" Rosa shouted as Kyoko threw Kyoka to Kyoya.
"Kyou!" Did they mention that they were twins?
Another main thing that this 'family' likes to do was to name after each other.
Go figure.
By the time Kyoko came back with another infant, Kyou was crying for his father, which something Kyoko felt much neglected for.
"Why do they always want you instead of me?" Kyoko pouted.
Kyoya gave a smile to the twins who snuggled further on his chest. He shrugged. With that question, it was indeed a mystery.
"Hn." I don't know.
"Don't give me that answer!"
Kyoya raised his eye.
Rosa who was at the kitchen sighed. That family may be the most problematic family seen within the group, but it had the weirdest kind when it comes to loving each other.
Maybe that's how Hibari Kyoya chooses his mate.
He peered at every corner. He has always been the bastard child, the illegitimate child…
Nonetheless, he was the best in his own way.
His older sister would be the apple of the eye for everyone….
One thing he would have known since young was that his 'father' would only care of his real family, and despite being so mesmerized with his mother, he had entrapped his mother and took no responsibility for her pregnancy.
And that was one where he had hated his 'father'.
What made it worse was when he was 3, where in such a fascinating manner; he would impress the NASA and the world with his intelligence. But he saw no sort.
That one night, his 'father' killed her, his mother, his own mistress…
Red filled his eyes as he knew the cruelty.
A storm never rest when a fellow precious storm is hurt.
And he did what he did…
"Uragano Tempesta." His 'father' widened his eyes at the powerful amount of flames he had exhibited. A crazed look was on his 'father' but he heeded no mind to that man.
His 'father' was surrounded by the attack and came out with deep cuts which till the present; no one had known where it came from…..
He ran away when he was 9, along with his precious gift is mother had given to him…
Tempesta narrowed his eyes as he stared at the physical combat instructor. Muscles were carefully hidden within the martial artist, but Tempesta had known better.
"What?" Tempesta asked in a monotone manner.
"What makes you a perfect storm?" Fon relaxed in his position, but still keeping his mind alert.
"Ciel-sama and Rosa-san had been the ones to protect me, and I'll be the raging storm to protect those who protect me."
"Ho?" Fon blocked the attacks as one came after another. Tempesta did a particular stance as he held onto nothing. He didn't like the fact that the instructor was getting out unscathed. High quality storm flames took form as Tempesta adjusted himself. Fon slightly widened as it took shape of a bow. Tempesta took hold of the string where an arrow was formed immediately. Taking aim on Fon, he released the arrow.
"Flame arrow….." He muttered something at the end and Fon swiftly dodged.
"You haven't hit me once, Tempesta." Tempesta smirked at the trick as Fon's senses heightened. The arrows multiplied and going around in random directions, which let Fon on defense mode.
"Flame arrow: Revised," Tempesta glanced at the arrows in amusement. "Rosa has taught me well in these prospects."
"Tempesta-kun, I'm gonna teach ya' something that ya' can do it with ya' flames." He twitched at the sudden turn of slang on Rosa.
"What?" Tempesta hadn't trust anyone even though they were the ones who took him in.
"Rosa, do we have to?" Santino whined. She was supposed to spend time with him after all. Rosa turned an eye on him before back to Tempesta.
"I need to see your flames for a moment." Tempesta didn't really like the fact that his 'father' actually wanted him for his flames and nothing more, but are they like him too?
With hesitation, Tempesta lit up his storm flames. Santino had never seen such beautiful pure storm flames that he took a long glance at it. Needless to say, Rosa smiled at the flames dancing around.
"Your flames are very beautiful, Hayato." She forgot to speak of his chosen name by the rest of the group. Tempesta, or rather Gokudera Hayato frowned at those very words.
"It's a very powerful and difficult trick to do, but I'm sure with your knowledge and experience, you would be able to do this simple one." Tempesta kept a straight face, making sure that his true nature hadn't been exposed.
"His flames are really pretty, Rosa." Santino had been fascinated with the different pure flames he had seen in his friends.
"I would rarely teach this one, but this one would suit you the best." Tempesta raised one of his eyes as the wall activated and a target appeared.
"Tempesta-kun, first you release the flames only on your hand, any one of them actually." A black flame surrounded the little hand of hers as she stood perpendicular to the target.
"Then using these flames, form a weapon on your selected hand," In this case, Rosa formed a dagger. "And shoot it at the position that you want."
The dagger directly hit the bull's-eye, in which Santino loved that part the most.
"As neat as always, Rosa." Rosa giggled at that statement.
"Well, you can control them to your advantage." Rosa smiled. "And now it's your turn to try it!"
Tempesta had never seen such a trick that could be easily formed, and especially by flames no less. He calculated his flames and controlled them to a certain degree before forming the unexpected.
A bow and an arrow.
He was inspired by his ancestor who fought with these two along side with Vongola Primo, and he was very sure he would succeed with the same weapons.
Rosa's smile widened further.
That would be a good weapon for a person to be inspired by the first Generation. Patting his head, she giggled and dragged the young pouting Santino ("No, Rosa! I wanna see it longer!" "No, Tino. You have something else to do."), but not before she passed a book to Tempesta.
"Read it carefully, Gokudera Tempesta Hayato!"
Tempesta ruffled his hair, annoyed with everyone in the group's tactics.
They were flying like there was no control of them, but Tempesta had known that he could utilize his flames to the fullest.
"I'm willing to teach you more since you have so much of potential, Tempesta." Fon smiled calmly just as Tempesta sighed.
"I won't be willing to be apart from Ciel-sama."
"But you will still be one of his important people, won't you? He would still need to have one calm person within the group." Tempesta thought about it for a moment.
"Rosa would be able to do it." Fon calmly approach the storm user.
"What if she's not there then?" Tempesta was going to object when a voice interrupted.
"Tempesta, just do it." The brunet stood at the entrance of the door, leaning onto it as he brushed through his wet hair.
"Ciel-sama!" Tempesta frowned, reluctantly agreeing to it.
"Then it's decided?" Santino nodded.
Unknowingly, Ryohei passed his test even though Reborn hadn't tested anything on him. Rosa wasn't surprised by the fact that Reborn had deemed him worthy of being a sun.
On the other hand, Fulminare hadn't even tested by the instructor when he had passed the test doing nothing. Rosa picked him up as he grumbled through the journey. He wanted to prove himself worthy, not to be doing nothing and passing the exam!
With only Pioggia's results waiting to be out, most of the members (except Mukuro for no reason) went to the field where Pioggia was tested in, and in this case, a battlefield.
Tempesta gave a low whistle at the amount of space and destruction one could possibly destroy as part of a fun session. Why didn't he get assigned here instead?
Pioggia, as seen on the screen, was laughing away like it is a game. But in his point of view, it probably really that reason….
Rosa gave an awkward smile as Pioggia maimed, destroyed and did whatever his creative mind was thinking. It's a good thing that it wasn't their backyard open space being destroyed.
Gosh….. Staying at their previous location had really twisted their minds.
"Oi! Are you paying attention, kora?!" Pioggia didn't listen to Colonello and continued with his 'fun'.
Santino mentally face-palmed with Pioggia's senses of 'fun'.
Needless to say, Pioggia passed and not to mention, selected as one of the chosen ones for the rain instructors.
Few months after the exams, Santino laughed as he thought of school in a different way.
Apparently, it had been managed by the student council, being one of its top positions besides the principal and the vice-principal of course. Never had he expected that their rules were somewhat cruel since the top would be favored and the weak would be brushed aside.
From what he had learnt, the council had been supported by their own allies who had helped them fought for the position. They can't choose their president, but rather fight for that honorable position. LITERALLY.
Funnily enough, there are constant challenges made to the council and changes as fast as lightning.
As for right now, Santino and the rest of the group decided to challenge them for the next council position. Students were attacking them one after another since The Challenge also involves with the entire school of 2000 students and 217 teachers and personnel combined.
These students had the acknowledgement to fight anyone who challenges the council, but injuries wouldn't be held fully responsible by the higher-ups since some Famiglias would fight against their enemies.
As soon as the bell rang, the group moved together as a team when the other students separated them into different corners. Santino yawned as weapons of all directions were trying to hit him, shifting himself on defense. Rosa giggled as she playfully danced around the area, bidding goodbye to Santino at the moment.
It wasn't their fault that they wanted 'family' time with each other yesterday, especially on a Sunday night itself. Mondays are bitches to everyone anyway.
At least Santino felt happy that he was able to sleep on Rosa's thighs during the movie screening.
And the little Hibari family had their moments different from the rest of the group, but it was well worth if Santino could stop Mukuro and Nuvola from fighting.
Mukuro and Chrome, on the other hand, were at the west hall where some of the regular classes took part in. Creating gory illusions that could be compared to hell, it had obviously been one sided since it had successfully scared everyone out of their wits.
Fulminare, who had been in the same room along with the mist couple, covered his eyes and blushed as he shouted at them, "Oh….. That is so gross! Chrome-nee, Mukuro-nii, get a room will you?!" The rest who were fighting Fulminare blushed as their little alarms on their heads gave warnings of the session.
At the eastern forest, Tempesta twitched his eye, annoyed as he bombed those students and weaker teachers to no end. He clicked his tongue and walked away from the overpowering amount of unmoving bodies, muttering something about them being weak while moving on to the next area.
A little further away from Tempesta, Pioggia and Sole were smiling as they were fighting against the infinite amount of people.
"Sole, let's have a challenge on who can defeat more people?"
"Extreme! Let's do this!" Sole punched the air as brightness started forming within him, radiating out.
"Extreme! Distruggere la sfortuna che attacca la Famiglia con il proprio corpo, diventano il sole che brilla su di una superficie." He punched through the air as bright pure Sun flames pierce through their enemies.
"Yosh. I won't lose to you! After all, vorrei quadratura dei conti e lavare via il sangue versato, il Requiem Pioggia." Pioggia's eyes sharpened as his calmness dispersed, changing from the happy-lucky to a swordsman.
"Shajiku No Ame." Pioggia charged forward, attacking with a thrust.
Despite with the huge amount of then falling like flies, Sole and Pioggia hadn't known who had won and continued to attack.
The Northern forest was counted as the most dangerous as Skull, being the tactician instructor of the school, had probably forgotten to log all the traps that he set in. Nuvola in many ways wouldn't care anything about them as he set to bit everyone to death along with some of them stronger students and teachers that he didn't seem satisfied about.
Somehow, he had to thank the two omnivores secretly. He wouldn't be having fun biting everyone who was in front of him, unknowingly setting the highest record within the group, and maybe the whole school too.
Rosa found it funny to have 9 of them challenging the entire school, but hey….. They were just having fun right?
It's amusing to see how everyone, except for the 7 top teachers and not to mention, the principal, had been hard-headed and set in to destroy one of them.
And the best (worst) news?
None of the 9 of them was even trying!
Santino managed to enter the room as one of them flew and broke the door in the process. Sometimes he really wondered how big was the hospital to handle most of the students admitted in.
On the second thought, he should be praying anyone under Nuvola's hands and sight for their health. Heaven knows when they could actually see the light again.
Stepping in the Student Council room, he had foreseen the unexpected. The Student President was ready to turn over the position.
"What on earth…."
"Please! Just kill me, maim me or whatever you want to do with me! Just take this job away from me!" He was groveling at his feet as Santino sweat-dropped.
How hard is this job anyways?
When you are the School President of the school, there are huge advantages for the council to have. But at the same time, it had known to be a double edge sword.
Santino had seen how his Padre in his glory doing paperwork with different expressions, and the last he checked, his Padre was ready to burn down all his flame resistant paperwork.
It wouldn't be a pleasant job but he had to show something for his Padre right?
He could still remember the day when they finished their ultimate mission of the day.
"Hai, congratulations to all of us for winning." Rosa smiled as she clapped her hands in excitement.
"Kufufufu… I wonder who would be the president." Mukuro hugged Chrome tightly as a form of possessiveness.
"I think…." Santino was ready to voice out when the others intercepted.
"Of course it's Ciel-sama!"
"Hahaha…. I agree. Sorry Ciel, but whoever your thinking of would have to be out of the picture." Santino twitched since they found out. He really didn't want this job.
Reborn stepped into the room along with a cup of espresso on his hand. "Have you all decided who's doing what?"
Reborn had to report back to his boss, Luce for the new positions, but they hadn't even discussed the topic yet.
"Extreme! Of course my little brother should be the one doing the position!"
Ryohei punched the air while Nuvola just stood there.
"Hn."
Lambo nodded his head eagerly just as Rosa smiled with her eyes narrowed.
"It's decided! Nero Ciel Santino would be our new President!" Rosa's eyes were filled with glee as she secretly laughed at the poor brunet's objection state.
"But but but…." Santino spluttered as Rosa put her hand on his shoulder.
"Sorry Tino, but we already had chosen our positions before you did." Rosa smiled as the rest nodded (exception of Nuvola of course).
Nuvola, being a man of little words, passed a piece of paper to Reborn.
President: Nero Ciel Santino
Secretary: Marian Rosa
Vice-President: Tempesta
Administrative: Fulminare
Discipline: Hibari Nuvola
Event: Nebbia Mukuro and Nebbia Chrome
Sports: Pioggia
Fight and Defense: Sole
Reborn read the paper and tilted his fedora as a form of thanking before leaving. Santino slumped down, asking of his bad luck.
Rosa shook her head while smiling as she put a cup of cappuccino in front of Santino on his desk, which had been (sadly) named President.
Students may have heard of the advantages of being in the council, but one thing's for sure; No one was listening to the one simple ridiculous horrendous creepy disadvantage: Paperwork.
Oh….. The bane of every important person out there in the world…
Santino could somewhat understand how his Padre feels, even though he had paperwork that was definitely lesser than a mafia boss, and Santino had headaches looking at reports coming in like spawns of the devil.
"Tino, are you alright?" Rosa couldn't help as her eyes shone with laughter at Santino who groaned.
"Rosa, what do you think?" Santino stated the obvious, rolling his eyes as he wished his secretary hadn't rub salt onto the wound.
Rosa giggled, knowing where this is going and kissed Santino's cheek as a form of comfort. Santino sighed.
Fulminare who just came into the room, jumped onto Rosa, indulging onto her warmth. "Rosa-nee~~"
"Ah, Fulminare." Rosa hugged the young child with love before releasing him to hug Santino.
"Santino-nii!" Fulminare jumped onto his lap, giving him one big brotherly hug.
"Hello Fulminare. Is there anything you need?" Santino's eyes softened and a smile formed on his mouth.
Fulminare pouted. "What's wrong with visiting my sister and brother in the office?"
Santino raised an eye while Rosa giggled. "Fulminare, you see us every day. What is it?"
"Fine…." Fulminare took out a letter from his black jacket, a must for the student council members, with the exception of the president and the secretary, who wore collared coats, in which Rosa wore white while Santino wore black.
Santino stared at the letter where it had been sealed with a seal. He had almost scowled when he looked at it, and Rosa frowned seeing Santino in this state.
The seal had two guns crossing each other, forming an X while there were also bullets. But what had it very important was the clam on the centre of the seal.
"Vongola?" Rosa's eyes widened, and Fulminare frowned at the seal. No wonder he had felt the seal so familiar and couldn't give a clue to anything.
Santino opened the letter with the letter cutter, revealing its contents.
Dear Nero Ciel Santino,
I am Timoteo di Vongola, or more known to the Mafia world as Vongola Nono. I would like to visit you in your mansion sometime. I hope I wouldn't be a threat to you or your family as I'm just an old frail man with limited time. I would also like to bring some people with me if it is possible.
I hope I'll get a favorable reply.
Timoteo di Vongola,
Vongola Nono
Santino slumped down his seat as he passed the letter to Rosa and Lambo. Upon reading the letter, Rosa turned her head to him.
"What are you going to do?" Rosa took up her share of the cappuccino from the tray while Fulminare poured some for himself, not that he liked the taste anyway.
Santino sighed. "Vongola Nono has been good to me for all I know, and I wouldn't mind him." Rosa smiled in comfort.
"Well, if this is your decision…" Fulminare stared at the letter much longer when he asked. "Santino-nii, what if they come?"
The atmosphere of the room changed slightly, but it didn't affect him much.
"Fulminare, you know very well since day one that we have mentioned this before." Santino stood up from his seat, walking up to the young lightning user and went down to his level.
"We are a family. Remember the movie we watched?" Fulminare nodded. It had bonded the family even closer after the movie.
"Ohana means family, Family means nobody gets left behind." Rosa ruffled the young child's hair.
"Or forgotten." Rosa completed the sentence, reassuring him.
"Sorry, Rosa-nee, Santino-nii." Rosa hugged him.
"Why are you sorry for when you did nothing wrong? Now go back to class while Tino and I would do something before we go too." Fulminare nodded his head, rushing back to his next class. Santino took a piece of paper and a pen.
Dear Vongola Nono,
It has been a pleasure to know that you would be coming soon to my humble mansion. Do give a call as of when you are coming, Mr Vongola. I would like to prepare some things before you enter, lest you would have problems with the traps used for the trainings that I and the other occupants have.
Nero Ciel Santino
Santino sealed the paper with his dying will flames, only allowing certain people looking at it. He stared at the letter once more before sending it out by a white pigeon, knowing that they always travel faster than normal mail.
Drinking up the last of his cappuccino, he got up and walked to the classroom with Rosa.
With some of the teachers busied with their selected students of their own, Reborn had seen the amount of changes to the new class. Clearly the CEDEF had dominated half of the sessions, and ready to teach the students lessons.
Iemitsu decided to pass over his position to another member of the CEDEF since he has more than what he could do for being Vongola's adviser. And the adviser now stared at the Vongola boss himself.
"Wh-What?"
"Is it possible for you, Nana and Yoshimune to follow me to visit this friend of mine?" Iemitsu could understand if he was going along with him, but with his family?
"Nana is part of the Security and Defense Division and she is normally with you. And it's a good thing this friend of mine wouldn't mind me bringing anyone with me." Timoteo smiled.
"Al-Alright. I'll tell Nana and Yoshi about it." Iemitsu dismissed himself, preparing to tell them the news.
Apparently, the meeting was tomorrow and it came out so suddenly on Vongola Nono's part. Nana didn't mind anything while Yoshi gave a blank look while Reborn punched his head to 'sober' him up.
Reborn decided to go on a mission that day and it was the perfect timing for Yoshi to be relaxed literally.
But what was so interesting about the friend anyways?
Turns out, Iemitsu took a long glance at the grand mansion that the black limousine was about to drive into. It had been as grand as Vongola's mansion, if not higher in terms of standards.
Timoteo got out of the car as the driver held the car for him and the Sawada family, standing in front of a familiar brunet that Yoshi had known in school.
"Eh? Santino?" Yoshi's confused look had been overlooked as Santino himself smiled at the Vongola Don.
"Welcome to my humble home, Vongola Nono." He gave a bow and a kiss on Timoteo's hand.
Timoteo gave a grandfatherly laugh. "Oh my boy, just call me Grandfather Timoteo like you used to."
Santino shook his head. "It'll get hard for me to get used to it again. Mind introducing your companions?"
"Ah….. This is the Sawada Family." Santino widened his eyes by a tiny fraction before giving a smile and offered a handshake.
"Sawada Iemitsu is my adviser. I assume you know CEDEF?" Santino nodded. "and this is Sawada Nana, Iemitsu's wife and this child here is….."
"Sawada Yoshimune, heir to the Vongola throne." Santino interrupted, surprising Timoteo.
"I assume you two know each other?" Santino was going to speak when a voice interrupted.
"Tuna-fish….." Iemitsu had tears falling as Nana sobbed and cuddled on his chest.
Santino narrowed his eyes.
"Oi! Tino, when are ya' going to stand there with our guests?" Rosa interrupted the entire session as she crossed her leg and stood leaning against the door.
"Do it at a much appropriate time, will ya'?!" She walked away as Santino changed his expressions again, smiling at Timoteo while he lead everyone to the garden.
Tempesta growled at the entrance of the trio while the rest who were standing at the window at different points were frowning (in Nuvola's case, rubbing against his tonfas to remind himself he was not to bite anyone unless necessary).
Mukuro chuckled at the sight before doing *Ehem* with Chrome one more.
Even Pioggia who was known for his smiles was frowning.
It had been a better situation that Rosa was the one following their leader for the day.
Upon sitting down (except for Rosa who stood behind Santino, leaning against the wall and popping up one of her high heels to the wall), the Sawada family had settled down with a confused Yoshi and crying Sawada Couple.
"What is the meaning of this, Vongola Nono?" Santino frowned at the fact where many of his 'family' members were looking and prying at the scene (except for Mukuro and Chrome).
"Santino….. No, Sawada Tsunayoshi….."
"Don't call me by that accursed name. Sawada Tsunayoshi is dead." Santino growled when Rosa cleared her throat, indicating that his anger was out of control.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi died when he was six, being murdered by his own family." Yoshi was shell-shocked. Calculating their same ages meant Santino/Sawada Tsunayoshi was his twin brother?
"Mom, dad, what is he talking about?" Yoshi had only known to be the only child and nothing more. Santino's face darkened when Rosa decided to disrupt.
"Ah… I erased your memories of your brother when you were 9. Let me give you back your memories." Rosa snapped her fingers as a sharp static shock went through Yoshi.
Yoshi couldn't comprehend what had conspired in his memories, but being cruel to his twin brother was not one he had thought of. It had explained why his parents refused to give him another sibling, much less adopt.
"I…" Santino drank his tea as he stared at Rosa. At least it didn't blow off his cover that fast.
"Tsu-kun, come back with us." Nana pleaded.
"No."
"Why? You could be the next candidate for the Vongola throne."
"And stick to your sick ways of being a family? I had enough of that Vongola Nono, and of all you know very well how I was treated." Timoteo opened his mouth, only to close it since he couldn't retort. He could just bring the young brunet back, knowing that anyone who treats him well would know that his loyalty was unwavering.
"I was the one who produced the flames first! I was the one who should get more attention than this despicable twin! I may be quieter than him, but I have every means to beat him." Santino could feel his flames rising up and tell him Release me! Release me! Release me!
"Nero Ciel Santino." Rosa warned him as he tried to cool himself down.
"Sorry Rosa. But you know it's the truth." Rosa's side bangs had covered her face, knowing it fully well.
"You! I remembered you now! You're the one who took Tsu-kun away from me!" Nana angrily exclaimed as she pointed her finger at Rosa.
Rosa merely looked at Nana. "And saved him from his misery. What about it?" Nana stood up when Iemitsu stopped her.
"Tuna-fish, I don't understand why…"
"Why what, Sawada Iemitsu? You know well that there is competition for everything no matter what. It just like killing your brother and son." Iemitsu paled.
Timoteo turned to Iemitsu before back to Santino. Santino gestured Rosa to continue the rest for him.
"Vongola Nono, Sawada Iemitsu, Sawada Nana, Sawada Yoshimune, even if Santino is to go back with you all, he already has a duty to do along with the rest of the group. He can't simply abandon his own duty for your selfish sake."
"And what matters more than family?!" Iemitsu's voice boomed through the garden, yet not affecting the rest of the members who are closely watching them.
"The world." Santino cooled himself down as he replied.
"What?" Some of them gave confusing looks while others frowned.
"Leave. I don't wish to talk to anyone anymore." Santino was on his limit, and he wouldn't wish to hurt anyone in his 'family'. Rosa massaged his right shoulder, assuring him. He walked away as Rosa bowed to the Sawada family and called Lantica to kindly escort them out in case they get caught in any of those traps that Tempesta would love to put.
Tempesta was ready to storm out of the room to settle when Pioggia intercepted his path.
"Oi! Sword freak, don't try to stop me. Ciel-sama….."
"Is fine on his own with Rosa by his side, Tempesta. Rosa said she would help Santino along the way right?" Tempesta growled.
"Tsu-kun will be fine, Hayato-kun, Takeshi-kun." Kyoko held on to Kyoka who was sucking on her pacifier as the infant mumbled gibberish. If the child was anything like Nuvola, she would be a mini copy of the said man.
"Hn." Nuvola walked up to Kyoko as Kyou lay on his father asleep.
"Have some faith on your best friend, Hayato." Haru hopped onto the conversation, persuading Tempesta.
"I know, stupid hahi onna!" Tempesta growled.
Tempesta and Haru started their fight once more as Pioggia nervously laughed.
"Kyoko." Kyoya conveyed his words to Kyoko before leaving the area, mumbling about crowding around them.
"I guess Kyo-kun's a little annoyed with the crowding…." Kyoko muttered as Kyoka started giggling, as if agreeing with her mother.
Sole, once in a while, was quiet as he stared at the garden on the second floor. Along with Hana, he drank tea in traditional Japanese style. He could be quiet on some days, but his sky wasn't happy for today.
Hana calmly drank her tea. "Ryo, what are you thinking?"
"What if we actually stayed in our positions before we were picked up from our hell?"
"Huh? What on earth are you talking about?" Hana frowned.
"We all have our nightmares about our families, yet Rosa and Ciel pulled us out. You from your home, the Nebbia twins from their torturous experimentation, curing our loneliness and having a perfect family right here." Sole pointed out some of them, setting Hana to think of the past.
"While it's true, the one who suffered the most out of all of us would be Rosa." Sole nodded, agreeing to Hana's words.
Hana stared at the computer as most of their information was on the screen, waiting to be released. After today, they won't have their normal lives anymore. Not that their lives were ordinary in the first place, but truths about them would be revealed. Heck, even Tetsuya was getting suspicious of Nuvola.
After their school event, they would disappear to their respective duties… Their true duties.
Visitation Day for Parents, in short would be one of the most nerve-wreaking things for students. Parents would embarrass their children to no end, crushing their reputation that they have ever built on this fateful day. Being in a Mafia school makes no difference; however, it comes in a larger scale.
Parents would come in helicopters; some would jump from the sky in a jet, some preferred to be a little normal hence the black limousines with their crest of their Famiglia.
Rosa had been frowning since she woke up, and no one would really think about talking to her except for Santino. Strong headaches and the restless feeling had been haunting Rosa to her very core, not to mention that her nightmares for the day were ones that had scarred her very young age.
Sitting next to Santino, Santino spoke. "Rosa, are you alright there?"
"Nothing much, Tino. Nothing much." It had completely contradicted her words. Something was going wrong and she could feel it in her very body. Unlike the times where they had been noisy (with Mukuro and Chrome making out, Fulminare green in the face, wanting to puke his breakfast, etc….), Rosa's troubles had worried the entire 'family' but they refuse to speak about anything, lest she got upset at anything.
When they reach school, Rosa didn't pay attention to her surroundings. After all, it's just a little out of the norm right?
Yoshi was waiting for the group, especially for Santino. He wanted to regain his relationship with his own twin brother. He may have a bad attitude towards anything, but all he just wants is only a sibling, one where he could confide himself in. But before he could even do anything, an ominous aura threatened the area. Teachers and bodyguards alike drew out their weapons, however refrained themselves to attack when they saw who were their guests.
3 men in cloaks appeared in front of the group as the center man walked towards the brunet. Reborn, who was just passing through, widened his eyes as he stared at the half empty black pacifier.
"Santino, don't disappoint me."The brunet merely smiled at his words.
"When have I disappointed you, Papa?" The rest of the student body had their bodies fixed to the ground. The group leader of the group is the son of the head of Vendice?
"True." He ruffled is hair when a gun was pointed at him.
"Bermuda, why are you in this form?" Reborn growled. Everyone was searching for it frantically. The female lowered down his gun.
No expression was formed on his face as he stared at the hitman. "Don't ask anything." Reborn lowered his fedora, something that he would do when he's not satisfied with the answer.
"Uncle Bermuda, that's enough." The female stood unwavered between the two.
Bermuda pulled her coat up to match up to his eye level. "Don't think you can command me, Cristallo Marian Rosa di Rizelle, daughter of Checkerface." He scoffed at Rosa who gave no response. Reborn hadn't heard a thing from the two.
Throwing her off, Santino caught her at the nick of time bridal style. Rosa buried her head deep into Santino's chest, comforting herself in her lover's embrace.
"Papa, school is starting soon. We need to go." He turned away from his father and walked away, which he was followed by the rest of the group. Bermuda clicked his tongue before disappearing with the rest of the Vendice guards.
Yoshi stared at the area where it held the Vendice and the group. The truth was out just few days ago and the whole school was already shocked with the revelation of the group. Their real names were released on Mafia news. Nuvola Kyoya was indeed a Hibari, and a top class assassin to boot. Hibari Kusakabe Tetsuya had almost been broken when he heard of this along with other parents who were part from the Mafia that they had been truly alive
Tempesta, which many now know him as Gokudera Hayato, was the one who ruthlessly killed his father in cold blood, leaving his sister, Bianchi to lead the Famiglia. He left his home without even turning back, refusing to take Don Position since he had won the battle.
And Santino? He was the lost son of Sawada Iemitsu, which Santino refused to acknowledge his own family.
Rosa calmed herself down, refusing to hear the accursed name of her father.
She had seen her mother before, and she really didn't like the dead look on her at all…
Cristallo Famiglia is one of the prominent Famiglia that is as powerful as Vongola…
If the Famiglia wants to, it could be at the top of the food chain…
Yet her mother was of pure nature…
Hates to fight, cares for everyone who takes good care for her in return…
Not even the elders could hate her for anything…
For she is stronger than her ancestors….
A perfect diamond in everyone's presence…..
Except for one…
After the age of 18, she was diagnosed with a condition…
Highlander Syndrome….
She was the first to rule Cristallo and her beauty had long surpassed nature's wonders….
It had been about 600 years when she was kidnapped by Checkerface no less…
Treated less than a human, her mother had pleaded and begged to leave her alone….
Only to be stripped off everything that she had once in her…..
Rizelle had been born smart for an age of 2…..
She had seen her mother tortured to no end by Checkerface, and needless to say, she was disgusted to have him as a father…
Those lonely, dead eyes….
She could never forget them…..
Her mother told her once if Rizelle didn't want her to suffer, she would have to kill her with a silver bullet….
Being smart, she had created better than a silver bullet…
A bullet of strong corrosive properties that could never let the person to regenerate no matter what…..
Her mother knew very well and smiled her brightest before her death…..
But what her mother didn't know would be her disease transferring to young Rizelle…..
Rizelle could only grow until the age of 18 before she stops, but that's alright…
She has her mother supporting her back, and with the fact she could use her creation…
That bullet killed her parents, but that made her happy…
No one could be hurt or insane to do anything anymore….
Her dear wolves, Aki and Reina, were the only things that she ever needed…
She took her father's position as a keeper, her mother's position as a Donna and a reversed version of the Tri-Ni-Sette…..
She stared at those pacifiers that are willing to wait for their true owners…
Cruelly taken away for so many years…
For the sake of her father's sick fun of it…
She took up her mother's name, in remembrance of her….
Rosa sighed as everyone gathered when school ended. Walking at the back for once, she gave a small sad smile to the group that was right in front of her. The ominous feeling came back as the Vendice appeared in front of them.
"Papa? What are you doing here?" Santino frowned.
"Cristallo Marian di Rizelle, pass to them that." Rosa sighed. So that's what she had been concerned with. Everyone turned to her, confused.
Rosa opened her eyes, looking at them as she snapped her fingers. Lantica appeared from nowhere, handing to her a case. Hidden in her coat, she took out her mask and fingerless gloves. Santino was going to ask when a pair of Heterochromia eyes stared blankly at everyone. Some gasped that the look that she gave.
Opening up the case, innocently laid were the Arcobaleno pacifiers. Santino gasped as he finally got the meaning.
"No, Rosa. No!" Rosa showed no signs of stopping as the Arcobaleno pacifiers flew towards the group. The mist pacifier split into two, where the dark indigo went to Chrome while the light indigo went to Mukuro while the rest went to the respective flame users.
"Rosa-nee!" Fulminare shouted as a green pacifier flew towards him.
To the entire mafia world, it was seeing the grand ceremony of Arcobaleno chosen. The pacifiers shined as Luce walked towards them hastily.
"Rosa-chan!" The lights blinded everyone for a second before the process was done. The pacifiers disappeared and stood right at Rosa's place are a letter and a rainbow crystal shining at its full glory. Santino sloped down as he took the letter shakily.
Dear everyone,
I know it has been rude of me to do this to you all. The pacifiers had been truly yours since my mother had told me before. That man had done so many cruel deaths for his sick pleasure, just as he had abused one of the most sweetest woman that I have ever known.
This curse… You can have it for eternity or you may pass it on to someone. A way to show that you are one would be the mark on your right or left arm. That is the true curse that an Arcobaleno is to obtain. Rest assured that your love ones would be staying with you as long as you want them alive. As heirs of Vindice, I would wish you luck for your very future and watch over you all.
Take care for the world balance is in our hands.
Cristallo Marian di Rosa
Santino was close to fainting when a small little letter appeared from the main message.
My dear Tino,
I know it's not the best solution for this. That crystal would be my precious gift to you. Put your blood in it and you will have your surprise, il mio Cielo.
Happy Early 18th birthday, Sawada Nero Ciel Santino Tsunayoshi
Santino took out the knife that had been given by Rosa on his 14th birthday and carefully cut his wrist.
"Santino-nii!" Fulminare screeched as blood flowed through, only to be stopped when Santino took the crystal and did what it was written in the letter. For the second time, a bright light blind the entire area.
"Papa!" A girl and a boy appeared as he was almost tackled down. Santino sobbed as he stared at the two 2 year olds. They had some of Rosa's features.
Thank you, Rosa. Thank you….
"It's time, Santino." The rest of the group gathered together as they disappeared along with Vendice.
Her scar had been showed on her face, slowly tracing down to her right side of the body and to her right limbs. She gave a small smile as she stared at the group carefully. The heterochromatic eyes narrowed as she saw Rosa in the capsule.
She gave a giggle as the two wolves gathered around her while her eyes shone with glee.
"Good job, my beloved doll." She walked away from the room with a satisfied laugh.
Well, that's the end of it. Flame me, comment on it, whatever. I won't say anything about who or what is that person on the last scene.
Did I do Vendice a little to OOC? Cos I think I just did...
Oh well...
