Author's Note:
Hi guys, this is my first Hitman Reborn story… so please treat me kindly? (is that what I should say?)
I don't own Hitman Reborn… Although I wish I did.
I would like to say that my character Avery would be a bit of a mary sue. She might be over idealised and honestly she might be primarily functioning as a wish fulfilment fantasy for me… I don't know. But I really wish that people would try to read this and actually enjoy it.
This will be a HibarixOC fanfiction
It was the usual Friday morning where Avery would wake up and spend nearly the whole day inventing something new, inventing was her passion and she loved it so much that she self declared herself as the best inventor in all the mafia families. She believed she would have been a billionaire if she was able to sell her inventions, but sadly she wasn't an adult and her father refused to allow her to sell her inventions. Avery was about to leave her room to go to her not so secret lair to continue with her latest experiment, however she was stopped by her father's secretary.
"Miss Henri, your father has called for you to go to his office" his secretary told me. Avery was about to ignore her as she didn't exactly mention when, but it seems like after working under her father for 10 years, she was able to get to know Avery. "He said you should see him now, and this means that you should be walking towards his office now." She added.
"If this is about the fountain outside, I swear it wasn't my fault this time. I was in-" Avery protested.
"your secret lair, yes I know that. This is about something else Miss Henri. Mr Henri wishes to talk to you about taking a job and getting some work experience." the secretary continued.
When they arrived at his office, the secretary knocked on the door and a soft grunt was heard signalling them to enter. Avery's father was busy tinkering with a new technology he recently acquired from his friend. He was much like Avery as they both were obsessed with inventing and technology. Elizabeth, Avery's mother often regarded the obsession as an unfortunate trait that was passed on from father to daughter. This obsession often led to either the father or the child to attempt to miss dinner, which then led to a lecture of the importance of dinner and family relation. Luckily this trait was not passed on to Avery's two older brothers.
"Avery, I think it is about time for you to get a job. You can't always leech off the mafia's money. Now, I have chosen the two most suitable jobs for you, and since I'm such a nice father, I decided to allow you to choose. One of them requires you to work in the Varia, and the other, which I think you may prefer, requires you to go to Japan" Bastien, Avery's father told her.
"Japan! Japan! Father I have always wanted to go to Tokyo! Are you serious? When should I leave?" Avery exclaimed. Ever since she was small, Avery has loved Japan. It was always a dream of hers to go to Tokyo. She was what some people would call an otaku, and in her not so secret lair, she had a room filled with photos of anime guys ranging from Kanda from D. Gray-Man to Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club. So it wasn't a surprise to anyone that Avery would have chosen to go to Japan over working in the Varia.
"I knew you would choose Japan. Once you take your plane tickets, there is no returning back. Well you can't anyways, as I already rejected the Varia offer. You will be leaving tomorrow, remember to bring the basic minimum. I can always ship everything else later, now don't talk back and go to pack. Remember to shut down any experiments you are working on." Bastien answered.
Avery went over to her father and gave a quick hug, "eek! I'm going to Tokyo" she kissed her father's cheek and left the room to pack.
"Sir, you didn't tell her that she would be going to Namimori instead of Tokyo. Also if you don't mind me asking, why did you choose this for her? There are many other offers she got that were much more simpler and less time consuming that this." Bastien's secretary added after Avery left.
"If I told her it was in Namimori, there was a higher chance of her refusing to go. It would have taken more to persuade her to go. I also have a good feeling about this. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to become more friendly with the Vongola despite us being allies. There are also rumours going around that the proposed tenth boss of the Vongola was her age. Avery has always had the ability to attract and create new friendships, in spite of her less than favourable qualities. She herself knows that it would be very unlikely for her to be the future boss of the Henri family, because of her two older brothers. With this I have given her an opportunity to play a bigger part in the mafia world, and if she plays her cards well, then she might play a important part in the Vongola." Bastien replied.
"Yes! I have finished packing, oh! Where did I leave the plane ticket?" Avery asked herself while searching around for the envelope. When she found it, she flipped it open and then realised that the flight is to leave in two hours. Avery was momentarily stunned and internally complained about how she was going to be running late. Shaking her head, she yanked her luggage and started running towards the car with the driver inside. Luckily she had checked when the flight was before she relaxed after packing. Avery should have known better, her father was known to procrastinate things and unfortunately she was also known to procrastinate things as well.
Reborn's POV
"Where is that stupid girl?" I thought. Avery Henri was suppose to have arrived in Namimori one day ago. She was suppose to be picked up by a driver who I had hired to drive her to Sawada's house. I had read her file and this led to me finding out that she was directionally challenged, but I had never considered her to be this directionally challenged. It was near impossible to get lost in the Namimori airport as all that required her to do was to walk in a straight line from the airplane to the arrival hall, once she arrived the driver I had personally picked a driver that would have found her and brought her here. I even had to pay the driver more just to wait overtime in hopes of her finding way.
"I guess I have to do this myself" I signed. Finding Avery would be a hassle, she once walked from Florence to Cesena in just one day, and that happened because she missed the bus and decided to walk home.
"Dame-Tsuna! I need you to find this girl. If you succeed in finding her, then she would be your new tutor." I grinned.
"Really Reborn?" Tsuna replied with hope. Tsuna completely believed that if he found her then she would be replacing me in tutoring her.
"Of course" I grinned.
"Then where should we find her?" Tsuna asked.
"Just try walking around Namimori, she shouldn't be too far away." I replied. If Avery had read the package of information, then she would have realised that if she was to get lost then she was suppose to stay in the spot without moving.
Just as we were about to leave home to find her, we found Gokudera and Yamamoto outside our house. Tsuna as always was surprised to see them and asked them what they were doing.
"Boss, we were alerted by Reborn to help you with your special mission today. I shall help you to the best of my ability to find this woman." Gokudera replied with honesty.
The trio had been walking around Namimori for about 15 minutes when suddenly Gokudera asked "Tenth, who are we looking for?" I shall have to improve that feature of Gokudera later on.
"Uh… this… H-Henri A-ve-ry, Avery" Tsuna replied as he showed the picture.
Suddenly Gokudera paused and stared hardly at the picture. I could almost see his mind rotating, trying to find why the girl looked so familiar. Then suddenly as if there was a lightbulb flashing on top of Gokudera's head, he realised why she had looked so familiar "Boss, I know this girl. She is friends with my sister, and is often present in the parties my father hosts. I shall call up my sister to ask for her location." Gokudera said.
"Haha! this makes it so much easier" Yamamoto said while grinning.
Tsuna's POV
Gokudera was able to get her phone number and called her. He turned on the speaker function so that everyone could hear her. "Hello?" she answered with a meek and timid voice, it was quite soft and very feminine. I was also able to hear some slurping sounds in the background.
"Where are you?" Gokudera-san asked bluntly.
"Who am I speaking to? I'm afraid you must have gotten the wrong number." She replied. This was obviously a smart choice as Gokudera-san's voice was very scary.
"Look-" Gokudera-san was about to shout at the phone when gently took it away from him and replied to her.
"ano- Henri-san. We are friends of Reborn and he told us to look for you as you are lost." I replied.
"I'm not lost. I'm sitting down and eating ramen right now." Avery retorted.
"Where are you eating ramen Henri-san?" Tsuna asked in hopes of getting the address.
"How am I suppose to know? Everything here looks the same. I guess I'm eating ramen at a restaurant- no a ramen shop" she replied. All the belief that she was at least normal was gone when I heard her say that. She was obviously lost and refuses to admit that.
"Hello? Are you still there. I think I'm near a road as I can see cars outside. Also there is some words outside which I can't read. It's to complicated, and I can't be bothered to look it up…. Look how many ramen shops are there in Namimori anyways? I'm sure if you go to all of them then you will find me. I'll wait an hour for you, after that I will be traveling around Namimori for some sightseeing. The phone company is charging me money for this call, I still haven't modified my phone yet so I'm afraid I have to go, so see you later, friends of Reborn." A click sound was made signaling that she has hung up.
"That girl! How dare she hung up on the Tenth" Gokudera snapped.
"Maaa… Hide and seek is really fun." Yamamoto smiled.
"How are we suppose to find her now. There must be at least a dozen ramen shops in Namimori. It's impossible to find her." I signed.
I decided to stop here as the last line is kind of like a cliffhanger, in hopes of hooking you guys to continue with my story…
