Prologue
Hikari
It's been few months now since they told us everything. I'm glad they did, because I was beginning to wonder why that man with the curly sideburns has a chameleon that transforms into a gun. But at the same time, I sorta wish they didn't. Our lives have never been the same since.
Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Hikari Sawada, Vongola Undicesimo.
I think we all took the news pretty well. Ok, I avoided my parents for 5 days, Tsuneo rigged his washing machine with dynamite and blew half his basement to Kingdom Come, and poor Nagi cried her eyes out and wouldn't leave her room for weeks, but aside from that, we were all relatively cool about it. I mean, look at my cousin, Kenichi, he's still as energetic as ever. Sora laughed it off and went back to baseball practice as if nothing happened. And Shizuka didn't even seem to care. (then again, she doesn't really care about anything that doesn't concern school, so her reaction is pretty normal.) I'm worried about little Taurus, though, since he's so young and already he's been given such a huge responsibility. Dad told me that he didn't want him to find out about it all, but everyone insisted that he was part of it, too, and had to be told.
But now that I've become used to all the craziness that's been going on these past few months, I don't regret my decision to become our Family's next boss and I don't think the others do either. I think that as long as we've got each other, we'll have the resolve to overcome anything that comes our way.
Nothing, however, could have prepared us for what happened that day.
