The Arcobaleno love story

Chapter 1 (Reborn's POV)

I never knew a woman like Luce, always smiling and always fluttering about...at first it annoyed me but sooner or later I got used to her fluttering around. Because she was always smiling I felt that all the bad things in my life could be erased.
I met Luce when the strongest 7 from around the world had to gather. It was a group of Skull, Lal Mich, Fon, Mammon, Verde, Luce and finally me. We each had no clue why we were gathered together and that made us all wary of one another, everyone was caught on guard, scanning and looking for potential situations of danger. That was until Luce came out with cookies, at first we were all suspicious, wondering if there was poison or sleeping pills in them but to discourage our theory Skull took a handful of cookies and shoved them into his mouth.
Seeing Skull's happy face while devouring them made Luce go around the room offering cookies to everyone until it reached my turn.
"Care for some cookies?" She ask with a glimpse of hope in her beady eyes.
I frown "I don't like sweet things" I proclaim rather ungentlemanly for my taste.
"Then do you want some coffee, I have a rather delicious blend!" She says hopefully rushing over to serve me coffee. She then turned to look at me "You have such lovely sideburns, I think they are your most attractive feature." She says with her all too sweet smile. That look nearly caught me off guard!
"Thank you" I say trying to hide my embarrassment. "By the way...I like Nepresso in case you wanted to know..."
Her eyes widen in realisation and she smiles brightly at me...so brightly...it blinded me.
That was how we first met and that is when she became my first love.

I had thought of Luce as a fortune teller, I didn't expect her to have any strength at all but what I found within her wasn't physical strength but the resolution to keep fighting. That strong brave spirit drew me to her and I found myself walking after her when she went on her so called "walks". I was always worried that she might trip and fall or a monster may try to attack her.
Luckily no such thing happened, but there was a time when she was in mortal danger.
It was when a large boulder was rolling down towards her and I shot it to pieces with my trusty gun. I could never forget the look of gratitude she addressed to me and I felt my heart rate spike higher than expected, to think this was the effect she could have on us...or was it just me that it had an effect on?
------/////------------------------------////----------------///------//---------/-//--/----------
Coming back with injuries from a recent battle I never really thought much about it. What Luce did for the rest of us, she was like a little rabbit that jumped around frequently trying to heal our wounds and sometimes put in a word or two of taking care of ourselves and to stop being so careless. Jeez, am I the only one who found that adorable?
---------------/////---------------//---------------------//////--------------///---------/-------------
Never in my life did I find Luce a trouble, she couldn't physically fight but that didn't make her any less powerful. Always smiling and laughing was her secret weapon, something that made me glad she was Luce and not trying to be someone else.
Shooting down enemies and trying to protect Luce was an honour to me and I didn't want to give he job to anyone else, especially not Skull, the worthless thing could never keep Luce safe.
"I'm sorry that I can't help you in battle"
This is something Luce said Every time she tended to my wounds or after we finished a battle where I had to protect her from thieving mafia men. She would just keep apologising and crying for what she couldn't do.
It wasn't Luce's fault anyway! She did nothing wrong. I wanted to protect her and I'm glad I could shield her from the many scars unbefitting to be inflicted on a beautiful lady.
------------////--------------////-----------------------------////-------
The arcobaleno curse, inflicted on me and Luce.
Her sadness and her feelings towards her child.
The one that lays in her stomach and slumbers.
Her child's name is the aria of her soul and her eventual death.
The sadness that lays in me for failing to save her.

I know I can't see her again but if I can just look after Yuni....
If I can get Dame-Tsuna to be able to do what I can't, then...
