- Chapter 1 -
~ Introduction and Reasons ~
Narrator
Alice Moretti.
Age 15.
She has reddish pink hair, and sports twin tails that fasll all the way to her waist and is exactly 5 feet 4 inches tall.
A seeming normal girl, but with a past full of death.
As a baby, she was abandoned by her parents and most relatives that tried to take care of her, because she supposedly brought misfortune to them. Anyone who tried to help her would become incredibly ill and sometimes death from the unusual illness.
One day, at the age of 5, she disappeared from a relative's house. No one knew what had happened to her, or even attempted to find her.
Long after they had forgotten her, 2 years later, Alice's parents find Alice crying on their doorsteps. This time they strangely did not reject her, but welcomed her with opened arms.
In any other story it may have ended well, however, this was not one of those cases. A few days later, it was reported that her parents were supposedly killed by burglars. On that same day, an unknown family took in Alice as their daughter, but not legally adopting her. Apparantly, this "family" was really just a strange couple who took in all orphaned children that were rejected by their family. In reality, from the 12 kids they had with them, only 2 were their own, a son and a daughter. Though again, no one in Alice's family tried to stop this, as they instead thought of it a burden off their shoulders.
After a year of being in the family's care, the area of where the family had been living was ransacked by an unknown gang, killing the couple and 5 children. The only survivours were Alice, the couple's son, and 6 other orphaned children.
Alice and the son then took charge of the remaining children. They lived on as they did before the killing of their "parents" and did so for another 5 years. At the end of the 5th year, Alice, now 13, decided to leave the family to live on her own. She believed that they would be safe without her, as they had all went through some special self defense training.
Moving to a slightly crowded city in Italy, she then began to start her life as a hitman, but still lived the life of a normal teenage girl, hiding her brutal past. In the morning, it would be school and hanging out with friends. At night, it was a bloody fight to the death. She soon climbed the ladder of fame easily in just a few short months, making a name for herself as a relentless hitman.
Her life settled down in the 2 years away from her "family." Even if she was now a world renown hitman, she had soon felt that the missions were becoming repetitive. She thought it was like a never ending cycle of living the same day over and over again with only minor changes in between.

Alice
The annoying alarm clock finally rang, and I shut it off by giving it a slap. I'd already been awake for half an hour, wondering when my boring day would start.
Miserably, I got up and thought, time for another dull day of school and crime fighting...
"Ciaosu."
Surprised by the sudden intrusion, I turned to my now open window where a baby dressed in a suit stood.
"Reborn!" I exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing, just to tell you that we're going to Japan" said the baby.
Confused I asked, "Japan? Why are we going to Japan?"
"Remember that bet we had last week? You lost so you have to do anything I tell you to do. So, I'm telling you to go to Japan and help with my tutoring with the Vongola 10th successor."
"WHAT? You know I can't be helping the Mafia in any way, it's against the Code" I said, still not understanding.
"I don't care about the Code" he said, slightly annoyed.
"Well Eden doesn't care that you don't care, they aren't going to overlook a breaking of a Code just because of a silly bet" I said, frustrated.
"Hmph, if you're that concerned about Eden, I'll do something about it. And who was it that was part of this 'silly bet?'" Reborn said mockingly.
"Argh! Reborn!" I whined.
His eyebrow raised – he always hated whiners – but didn't say anything.
Finally I said "Fine, have it your way. Whenever you're like this I know you're never going to give in. But don't blame me when you're the next victim of Eden."
The baby smirked, "I knew you'd see it my way. We'll be heading out in an hour in, of course, a private jet."
I laughed and said "No matter how much I hate you, I gotta admit, you have style."
...
After deciding where to meet at the airport, Reborn left and I started packing.
Hmm, I thought, an hour won't be enough time for me to make all of my preparations…
"You don't have to worry about unnecessary things" said a sudden voice.
Sighing, I turned to see Reborn sitting on my shoulder.
"What are you still doing here, shouldn't you be preparing for Japan?" I asked.
Ignoring me he said, "I've already taken care of everything, so all you need to do is pack your things and head to the airport."
"Gee, thanks, didn't know you had such a kind heart to do so" I said, rolling my eyes. "By the way, how exactly are you going to deal with Eden? They're quite strict with their rules you know. Heck, even I'm afraid of them at times."
The glint in his eyes made my blood run cold, and I knew I shouldn't pry at the subject any longer.
"Don't worry about it, I'll do as I promised, just make sure you get to the airport on time" Reborn replied, and leapt off my shoulder and out of the window.
Way to make an exit, I thought, and continued packing.
~ An hour later ~
Airport – Meeting Place
As I arrived at the meeting place, Reborn got up from his seat and walked towards me, carrying around a few pairs of eyes with him.
"Hmph, you're not late, I don't have an excuse to hit you anymore" Reborn said, slightly disappointed.
"Oh shut up. When we're on the plane you better tell me what you plan for me to do in Japan" I said, making it obvious that I was not happy.
Reborn replied simply, "Of course, I was planning to do so from the start."
~ On the Plane ~
Once we were seated and the plane had taken off, I immediately got to the point, asking questions about our goal in Japan.
Reborn took this chance to jump and kick me in the head, but I stopped it with my hand.
He humph'ed and settled back into his seat. "One question at a time."
I pouted and said "Just tell me about our objective."
Reborn called over a flight attendant and asked for some tea. He didn't start until it arrived, irritating me even further.
Finally, he started explaining. "Our main objective is to train the 10th generation Vongola boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi. It seems he's a wimp and needs much preparations before becoming a suitable mafia boss. We must also help him form his Family, as well as find Guardians to help protect him."
"Wait, wait, what's the point of me coming along, to make your job easier?" I asked suspiciously.
"Pretty much" replied Reborn, sipping his tea.
Surprisingly, I didn't get angry, but instead actually considered helping him.
I didn't say anything for a while, thinking of how difficult and long it would take to fulfill all those objectives. I sighed and said "Alright, I'll go along with this. It's been a while since my last mission that took more than a few minutes to finish anyways."
It was Reborn's turn to nod, and before I could ask any more questions, he went to sleep. I gave him a disdainful glare and settled in as well.
Soon, I was fell into a dreamless sleep…
~ Japan – Airport ~
Reborn
The moment the plane touched down at the airport, Reborn woke up. Looking over at Alice, he chuckled when he saw her snoring, a little bit of drool hanging out of her open mouth.
"Oi, Alice, wake up" said Reborn.
After waiting a few seconds, Reborn leapt onto her shoulder and pulled out a permanent marker.
"Wake up" he repeated, a little louder.
After waiting a few more seconds, Reborn grinned, and uncapped the marker. However, Alice opened her eyes and got up and stretched.
"che, I was just getting to the good part" Reborn said, greatly disappointed.
Alice, still half asleep said "What are" - *yawn* *rub eyes* - "you talking about?"
"Hmph, nothing." He said, capping the marker.
Now fully awake, Alice realizes what Reborn had planned to do. "Reborn! You were going to draw on my face weren't you?"
"Serves you right, you didn't wake up when I told you to" said the baby, and walked towards the exit of the plane.
Alice pouted, and followed after him, mumbling "The world doesn't revolve around you."
"I heard that."
"Well good!" Alice exclaimed back at him angrily.
Reborn smirked, he liked playing with people's emotions.
~ Outside Airport ~
Alice
"Oi, stop staring at me like that" said Reborn, suppressing a grin.
I humph'ed and looked away, killing intent rising. I can't believe I keep being manipulated by him, I thought, I'm definitely going to kill him one day when he least expects it.
While I was thinking, or fuming really, it seemed that Reborn had gotten a taxi. A wonder how someone so short could do that, especially when you look like a baby. The taxi driver was looking nervously back and forth from me, Reborn, and, oh, his gun.
I frowned at Reborn, but I shoved my luggage into the trunk of the taxi and got in. Reborn told the driver the destination and started driving.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To your new apartment, but you're only going to be living there temporarily" he replied, and threw me a key.
He then popped out a file from his magical hat and handed it to me, telling me to look at it when I got inside my apartment.
I nodded, and knew it would contain all the information that would answer my questions.
The rest of the drive was in silence. When we reached the apartment complex I got my luggage and waved good bye until the taxi looked like an ant on the horizon. The flight had taken all day, and I was exhausted, despite sleeping through most of the flight.
The living quarter wasn't too small, but it wasn't large either. There were 3 rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. All in all it wasn't too bad, no bugs or mold to be seen.
I set all of my luggage in the bedroom, not bothering to unpack. I flopped onto the bed and took out the document Rebon gave me that was labeled "Read this before you bother me with your questions."
I rolled my eyes, flipped open to the first page, and began to read.
End of chapter 1~ Yes, I'm sorry there was no Hibari or Gokudera, but one of them will show up in the next chapter! :D
I hope you liked it, since it was my first attempt at a fanfiction. And comments or critique are welcome! :)
