A/N: I don't own KnB or KHR. And yes, Mafia AU for KnB... It's also going to be 100 drabbles/ficlets in this AU-verse I created. The pairings other than Akashi/Kuroko is pretty much undecided.
I. Introduction
Kuroko was known for having a low presence in the Mafia World. He was infamous as a hitman, and he was infamous as an illusionist.
He made enemies, undoubtedly, but he never expected Vongola to target him. Kuroko never antagonized that Famiglia because of their reputation and influence, so he was not quite sure why Vongola Nono was suddenly interested in meeting him.
When he met Timeteo, Kuroko was certain that he would not be shocked by anything. By the end of the meeting, his head was reeling with information, not that he showed it.
"I want you to go to Namimori in Japan. Reborn already knows of your arrival."
Kuroko had to admit that he was excited about meeting the world's greatest hitman, but he was also wary of making Reborn dislike him through his actions or inactions.
Arriving at the hotel, Kuroko got the key to his room, and unpacked as soon as he made it to the pent house. According to Timeteo, he was only to stay for a few days before moving into the house Vongola had in this area.
He was lying on the bed when he felt someone's presence. Kuroko rolled to the left suddenly, and he was glad to have listened to his intuition. Where he was just a second ago now had a bullet hole.
"Ciaossu."
Kuroko merely nodded at the infant. He was not naïve enough to believe that the infant that had spoken to him was harmless—the gun in hand was enough proof of that.
"I'm Reborn."
He stared at the infant carefully, then decided to believe him. "I believe you were told about my arrival."
"Follow."
Having been taught wariness and having suffered for believing someone, Kuroko almost did not want to follow. But he knew he would be a bigger fool for ignoring the hitman. With trepidation, Kuroko walked behind the Sun Arcobaleno.
They did not stop until the infant arrived at a house, Reborn's house for the time being. Kuroko, with his pitiful presence, nearly walked into someone. He had dark blue hair and had darker skin than those he had seen here so far.
"Aomine Daiki, the Storm Guardian," Reborn said, smirking.
"Perhaps I should meet Vongola Decimo," Kuroko replied evenly.
"Perhaps so."
Kuroko took that as a confirmation to his hidden request, and followed Reborn into the house. He walked up the stairs and into someone's room.
He looked around, impressed by its cleanliness and plainness. It was rather obvious that the occupant(s) of this room did not care for personal items to bring out some originality.
"Reborn," a voice said behind them.
"Ciaossu. Seijurou, this is Kuroko Tetsuya, the candidate for the spot of the Mist Guardian."
Kuroko nodded, knowing what he had agreed to. "Hello, Akashi-san. My name is Kuroko Tetsuya, and I am called the Phantom Killer." He inwardly frowned as he mentioned his nickname; Kuroko was not one for nicknames, especially ones that lacked originality.
"Pleasure to meet you," Akashi replied. "My name is Akashi Seijurou, and I am the candidate to become the next boss of Vongola, Vongola Decimo."
Kuroko noted that his voice was smooth, soft and seductive. It would be interesting, he knew, but Kuroko doubted the conviction of Akashi. He had a feeling that the other either expected Vongola to be handed to him or did not want the title of boss.
A/N: I have joined a new fandom. I think I'll put this into the crossover, even though Reborn doesn't really have a part, and that he pretty much is just... there.
