Jumping Through Time (translated)

Chapter 12

Contrary to what many believed, the first guardian to be chosen was not Gokudera Hayato. The belief came with the fact that Gokudera Hayato was the first guardian the Tenth Vongola's boss met. That didn't mean he was the first chosen. After all, Reborn, the Ninth and the Bovino's family knew who was the first chosen even before the Tenth knew he was going to be the next Vongola's boss. It was one of the best kept secrets from Vongola's Tenth Generation. Not even the Tenth seemed to know.

- Dad! Dad! – Unable to contain it anymore: - DAD!

More than one person jumped. More than one cursed under their breath or gave the evil eye to "dad". Dad, on his part, didn't jump to the roof, not because he wasn't asleep, but because a kid jumped on him and started babbling at high speed. Said kid ignored completely the chaos he made to be where he was.

There was no use to complain. The Tenth wouldn't hear anyone when the kid was there, and seeing both happy also stopped that. Even so, it wasn't nice to be woken up by a kid after a long training session in one of their relaxation rooms. It wasn't like the kid cared, and it wasn't like the sky guardian would reward them with his flames again.

There was nothing better than to be showered in those warm flames. Lambo knew this better than anyone.

- Look what my subordinate gave me! - With great pride the kid showed half of the lighting ring of Vongola, like it was more of a toy than anything else. - Isn't it cool? It even sparks! - When the ring wanted. Lambo still didn't get how it worked.

- Oh? - Dad took the ring for a bit, checking it out with great curiosity before giving it back. - Take good care of it, it is very precious. He must trust you a lot to give this to you...

There was a forced cough and a snort. He didn't get it, and the people that did those things refused to see him. Dad didn't pay them any mind, smiling even more, like nothing had happened.

- Wanna see something curious Lambo? - The kid nodded quickly at the question. Then, the kid got confused at the back of a hand that was placed on his lap. - Doesn't it look similar to the one you have?

It took a bit for Lambo to understand, to see the ring that dad always wore. They looked similar, but not by much. The center was different, to start with. Even so, Lambo felt that he had seen that ring somewhere else.

- Not much. - Lambo admitted without shame. - Yours is prettier. - It wasn't a lie, not sir.

- It is known as the sky ring. - Did that mean...? - It is believed that it is one of the things Sky left behind when he came down to earth, but who knows. Do you know what that ring you have there is called?

- Did he leave something else? - Dad laughed a lot before answering:

- Nothing concrete, Lambo. It is not the only one I fear. That ring you have is believed that was left behind by Lighting when he looked for Sky. He lost it, but to know what if it is true...

- Wait, why would my subordinate give me something like this? - It was like... too valuable?

- That's why I told you he must trust you a lot. So you must take good care of it and not lose it, you get me?

- I promise! The great Lambo-sama won't fail!

- Of course he won't... - Sweet smiles, hands in hair and candy.

Lambo loved to be with dad. It was truly a shame it was for so little time...
