Silence 1: A Delivery

That day was a beautiful day; peaceful and sunny, it gave little sign that what would follow would be a living nightmare. It was the weekend, the time when everyone spent their time with family; playing, talking, and laughing together. Nothing can replace that moment. Not even the dark days to follow

In a red sedan, there sat a little Asian girl in the back seat. She was looking out of the car window with large shiny eyes and a big grin on her face. She hadn't stopped fidgeting since she left her house with her parents. Today was the most exciting day in her life, because she was going to an amusement park with her mom and dad!

In the front passenger seat, a woman sat, she was about fifty-year-old. Turning her head to back seat to face her daughter she spoke with an excited tone, "Dear, don't you excited? We will have so much fun today!" The girl faced her mother and nodded her head fast as she could, a sign of her feelings. The woman giggled at her daughter's reaction then returned to face forward.

Some minutes passed until the car pulled up in parking lot. The girl jumped out of the car and ran to the front gate. She couldn't wait to ride the all the rides and see all the attractions in there. Her parents had returned from the ticket booth with tickets in hand. When they got in, the girl's eyes were sparkling. She pulled her dad's and mom's hand to a ride with her. They took the mini jet coaster, then the spinning teapot, followed by the doll castle, flying swing, and many more. They also had delicious lunch and bought some candies. It was the best day ever for the family.

As the evening came closer and the sun started setting, the sky turned into a calming orange color. The family decided to take one last ride before they went home, The Whirlwind. They enjoyed the sunset at the top of The Whirlwind in peace as they started at the sky in awe. The girl never took her eyes off from the setting sun and with awe in her eyes she took in the scenery until the sun set below the horizon. Finally the ride was over; the girl's eyes drooped as she got sleepier, so her mother decided to carry her. Her gaze became blurry then her eyes closed, brought her to her land of dreams.

That was the last day she remembered seeing her parents.

-Downtown Palermo /11 AM/ October 11th /Palermo/Sicily/Italy-

Autumn had come in Sicily causing a nice afternoon weather, combined with the shifting colours that the leaves of the trees exhibited, it was set to be a very beautiful day. A girl in a white long sleeve jacket, with a pen poking out of the pocket, and black pants was standing at the middle of downtown Sicily staring at a piece of paper in her hand, hanging on her neck was a small note pad. She narrowed her eyes at the piece of paper in her hand. It was a map drawn by her uncle; unfortunately every time she tried to read the map she got more and more confused and thus lost. Very lost.

'Ugh... This is so confusing! Uncle, why can't you draw better than this?!' the girl thought while taking a deep breath. Next to her there was a large rectangular object warped in brown paper warpping and rope on both sides, as to enable her to carry it like a backpack. The raven-haired girl had to deliver the package to somewhere that she even didn't know the exact location of.

Luckily, she had somehow been able to make it into the middle of downtown Sicily. That would enable her to ask the people who more familiar with the area for direction. She lifted the package onto her shoulders and walked around the Downtown Sicily.

After walking around for a few minutes she spotted a bakery and left the painting in front, well within her line of sight, and went in. 'Well, it is time for lunch.' She nodded to herself and chose some bread, not forgetting to get some for her uncle too, and went to cashier to pay. She gave the cashier her money and as she took the bread had a thought. 'Why not? Maybe he knows where the place is?'

Just before she left she got the cashier's attention and opened her notebook and then proceeded to write in it. –Do you know a place called Vongola mansion?-. She turned the notepad towards the cashier to allow him to read it. As the cashier proceeded to read the note his face slowly but surely turned paled. He hurriedly shook his head as a sign of 'no' which made the girl raised her eyebrows at the odd reaction. Feeling like the cashier knew something but wouldn't tell anything to her, she wrote out a thank you and bowed to the cashier then went out of the bakery.

Picking up the painting and putting it back onto her back after shoving some bread into her mouth, the girl who looked to be in her early 20s walked into the near empty street. It was near lunch time so it was no wonder that the streets were nearly empty, almost everyone was preparing to head home for a siesta. As such she had to wait awhile to find a chance to ask some pedestrian about directions. Funnily enough when she showed the same note that she wrote at the bakery to show the cashier, it had the same result. Almost everyone who she asked had same reaction as the cashier or a worst one. Some would just have their face lose all colour and shake their head rapidly, others would stutter, shake, and then run, some of them even ran away right after they read the note.

'What's wrong with people today? I was just asking for direction. Why did they have to run away like that? How rude,' she pouted at the last pedestrian who had run away after reading her note. She put her hands on her waist and tapped her feet while her eyes closed. 'How did this happen to me again?'

-Nairi's Shop/8AM – 9AM/ September 12th/Palermo/Sicily/Italy-

00000

Somewhere in Northern Sicily, there was an art shop where people can buy anything they needed for any art activity. It also had many souvenirs and paintings that all was made by hand. The store also allowed you to order a painting in various sizes, or even get a custom one made. The staff and the owner will happily accept the order and delivery it for you.

In the shop lived a girl named Kimura Nairi, or Nairi Kimura as she was in Italy, and her uncle. She was 21 years old and as of right now she was lying her upper body down on the table lazily looking ready to take a siesta, though it was still early in the morning. 'Ah~… Today really has good weather to sleep in,' she though with her eyes closed. Her white haired uncle had gone to buy some ingredients for lunch and dinner as their fridge was empty. 'What will uncle cook for today? Cream soup or miso soup? Hehe… I hope it will be cream soup.' She was wondering in her though with a smile on her face and drool coming out of her mouth slightly.

Suddenly the bell at the door rang; Nairi hurriedly sat up and straighten her back. She then saw a handsome young man with blonde hair walk into the shop, followed by two other men in black suit. One of the men in black had glasses on his face and the other was bald. Her eyes widened and filled with panic 'Mafia?!' She quickly turned around and hid under the table before the men could see her which didn't go unnoticed by the blonde. 'Uncle, what did you do?!'

Shaking she huddled herself under the desk and made herself as small as she possibly could 'Those men are wearing black suits! Huwa~… Are they in mafia?!' She thought as her eyes closed tightly and her body shivered like crazy due to the fear. 'No, gotta stay clam! They must be in mafia! Huwa~… They'll kill me! Uncle please come back soon, hurry!' Her eyes widen at the sound of footsteps that came closer to her hiding spot and then stopped suddenly. Her heart beat faster; it felt like would burst out her chest.

"Excuse me," the blonde man suddenly popped his head in front of her and made Nairi silently freak out. She automatically put her hands above her head and her murmured various words but no sound came out.

"Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," hearing the blonde's voice she stopped her murmuring and stared at the blonde in silent fear. It was the blonde who broke the silence, "Um… Can I meet with the owner of the shop owner? I need to make an order for a painting." Seeing that the blonde meant her no harm she slowly got out from under the table, grabbed her notebook and a pen, and then wrote on it.

-Sorry for my attitude just now. My uncle is out, so I was the one put in charge until he comes back.- She showed the note to the blonde while she was bowing down to him in apology. Her body still shivering from her previous scare, but it wasn't as bad as before.

The man in fur hooded jacket read the note and smiled at the girl. "It's okay. I also apologize for scaring you back there. So… Your uncle owns this place?" the man asked. She answered with a nod and pulled her notepad back and then wrote again.

-May I know what kind of painting you want, Signore? - The note said.

"Oh! Can you please make a custom painting of my little bro and his friend? Here's the photo of them. It's for his birthday, and a surprise present and it must absolutely be a surprise. So, please don't tell them that it was me who sent it; I want to be the one to tell him. Also please make it big, not too big though because we will be hanging it on the hallway wall. So about 107 x 142cm?" The man said with big grin on his face. Nairi blinked and internally thought 'Not too big?! That's one of the bigger sizes!' Outwardly she nodded her head to signal that she understood the request, even if she was wondering how big the place was for a painting of that size. She wrote on her notepad again and showed it.

-May I know where it should be delivered? And I suppose that I won't need to put a name on the package. But for the store record who is the painting on behalf of?-

"Ah! Sorry, deliver the painting to Vongola Mansion. I'm Dino by the way. Now, how much will the painting cost?" She thought for a second then wrote on her notepad.

-I'll discuss it with my uncle first. You can pay when the painting is done and delivered to Vongola mansion. Just leave your contact information-

"Really? Thank you very much!" Dino then proceeded to pull out a business card and hand it to her. He then waved a good-bye and walked out of the shop.

00000

She took a long deep breath remembering her rather large mistake that time for not asking for a more detailed address. 'How come I was such an air-head that day? At least we got to eat cream soup as dinner that day.' She thought happily while continuing on her way, still trying to find Vongola Mansion. Sometime ago she asked to a taxi driver and though the man paled a bit he still told her the way that was the most efficient to get to the mansion by walking.

'Come to think of it, was that Dino guy a CEO or some kind of rich guy? Uncle even gave him a really high price for the painting. Hmm… Maybe yes, maybe not.' she shrugged her shoulders. Then she realized, that the more she walked down to this street the less and less pedestrians walked by...almost as if they were afraid of the area or avoided it. Also there weren't any building on either side of the road. 'Did I make a wrong turn or something? I'm sure I went the right way, but… never mind. I'll just continue to follow this road.'

After some hours later, she finally stopped moving in front of a large gate with a big symbol in the center of it. Her jaw dropped and her eyes almost fell out of its sockets when she saw the mansion. In her shock she forgot her tiredness.

'HOLY SHIT! Since when was there a mansion this big with a gate this huge in Sicily!? I don't even recognize it from anywhere!' she thought in shocked awe. Only one thought ran in her mind, 'Whoever owns this mansion, he or she must be the head of a fucking big international company!'

Shaking herself from her stupor she stared at the gate in contemplation 'Now, how the hell am I going to get in?' Fortunately or unfortunately, it was at that moment that the gate decided to open to her great surprise. Unsure if she should go in or not, she turned her head to the left and the right looking for anything suspicious. After that she walked through the gated slowly. Very slowly.

Once through the gates she faced a long road to the main door of the mansion that was lined with trees on either side. She could only smile when she saw the road in front of her. 'Finally! I found it!' However she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched or the fact that the area was deserted except for this mansion for a good 10 km2 on either side. Whereas her mind was thinking it was just mansion and nothing creepy was going on, her instincts were a different story. They just plain wanted to run away screaming 'Breathe Nairi! It's just a big mansion. Speaking of, just how big is this mansion?! Why do they need another long road that heads to the door?! I will never understand what a rich people.' She took a deep breath and stepped through the threshold fully, as she stepped in her legs kept moving forward automatically as her eyes were given a fascinating show by the beauty of the garden on either side of her. Everything in it was neatly arranged and clean. It's really different from the gardens in the middle of the city.

She was so stunned at the beauty of the garden. She didn't even realize that she had arrived at the main door. In the end she stumbled onto the porch, tripping on the step and ended up kissing the floor. She stayed in that position for some time and then slowly stood while rubbing her sore nose. 'Itai… the first time I set foot here, and I'm already got bad luck… Akh! The painting!' she put down the painting on her back and double checked it, to make sure none of the parts of the painting had broken due to her fall.

Done checking the painting, she lifted it up again to her shoulders and walked to the door. She then proceeded to stare, the take a deep breath and knock on the door. She waited for some time before it was opened by a maid. "Yes?" the maid asked. She quickly opened her notebook to write what she wants to say.

– Delivery for Vongola. – She showed it to the maid.

"Huh? I am sorry miss but our master didn't tell us anything about a delivery." The maid replied. 'Hum… How should I tell her? I is a birthday present so it should be a surprise.' After thinking for some time she wrote again on her note.

– It's really important. So, please at least let me meet Signore Vongola. –

The maid read the note with suspiciously and shook her head, "I still can't let you in, I'm sorry." The maid said it with a stern tone. Disappointed at the result of her negotiation, she clapped her hands together and bowed down to the maid hoping a second time would work, pleading to the maid while still bowed to let her meet whoever the man the painting was for.

The maid's patience got thinner each time Nairi begged or pleaded. Nairi bowed down one last time and that was the last of the maid's patience. The maid shoved Nairi until she fell on her butt then shout, "GO AWAY! How many times will I have to tell you? I will not let you in!" the maid said in a very rude tone.

When the maid about to close the door. A voice of a young man was heard from behind the maid, "What's going on here, Vera?" the maid in front of her immediately bowed down to the young man with anti-gravity brown hair that stepped out from behind the door.

"I'm sorry for shouting master, but this suspicious lady insisted to meet you even if I told her that she can't." the maid explained. The brunette looked at the maid then at Nairi who was checking the painting. The brunette smiled at the girl then kneeled down. When Nairi turned around, she was startled at the young man who was kneeling down in front of her. "Are you okay?" the young man asked. She hurriedly took her notebook and wrote.

– I'm okay. Are you Signore Vongola? – She stood up and showed the note with blush on her face. The brunette stood up and read the note with a smile on his face, "Yes, I am the Vongola Decimo. It will be more comfortable if we talk at my office. Vera please let her in." he said to the maid.

"But… Master," The maid tried to discourage her master, but was unable to because of the look her master gave her, "very well master." With that the maid went back to work with a tint of pink on her cheeks.

"Shall we go?" the brunette invited Nairi. On the way to the brunette's office Nairi's eyes became shinny. She was totally stunned at by the grandeur of the mansion. Her head couldn't stop turning left and right to look at every detail of the decorations. Sometimes the brunette asked if he may be able to help her carry the painting on her back but was always rejected with a shake of the head and smile from her.

After some confusing turns, they were finally able to arrive at their destination. The brunette opened the door to his office and let her in to his office first. She walked through the mahogany door careful not to break the painting. Then the brunette followed her in.

She sweat dropped at the scenery in front of her. Thousands of piles of paperwork were surrounding a work table. 'Is this what having so much money is like?! A lot of paperwork?' Nairi thought as she put the painting down.

"Haha… I'm sorry for this and my maid back there. Let me introduce myself, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. It's pleasure to meet you." The brunette called Sawada Tsunayoshi said with a very friendly tone without losing his smile. 'Eh? Japanese name? wasn't he… um… not my business.' The Japanese name awoke her from her shocked state. She quickly wrote down her introduction on the notepad.

– It's okay, my name is Kimura Nairi. It's my honor to meet you Sawada-san. – She showed the not to Tsuna while she was bowing respectfully so he couldn't see her blushing face.

"What brings you here, Kimura-san?" Tsuna asked with a serious tone. 'He's getting serious.' Nairi though with her pen moved on the notebook.

– I come to give Vongola a special delivery. –

"May I know what the delivery was and who sent this to me?" Tsuna asked again without took off his gaze from the raven haired girl in front of him.

– I can't tell you the answer to either– She explained through the note in front of her face. It's really hard for Tsuna to tell if she lying or not. Even his hyper intuition didn't give him any concrete signal.

'Should I let her go?' Tsuna asked inwardly. His concentration was broken when he saw the girl was starting to write something else her notepad. A few seconds later she showed the note that made his jaw almost dropped.

– Sawada-san, why did you name your company as 'Vongola'? Doesn't that mean 'clam' in English? Clam should be eaten, not used for business. – That's what was written on the note when she showed it to him. He clenched his hand to push down the urge to face palm. 'So she's not part of the Mafia, but then what's that package for?' He concluded to himself mentally while he tried to outwardly keep his business smile on his face. He couldn't show his emotions to this stranger. Reborn would kill him if he found out.

A knock on the door was heard which made Tsuna sighed in relief. "Come in." said Tsuna as he gave permission to enter. From behind the door, a butler bowed his head and said, "There is someone who wants to meet you sir." The butler then shifted to allow the guest to enter and meet his master.

"Yo little bro! How are you?" Dino greeted to Tsuna. He walked into the office tripped on his own foot. It didn't however take him a long time stand back up with an awkward smile on his face. Nairi tried so hard to stifle a laugh at Dino's clumsiness. As for Tsuna, you could see the corner of his mouth twitching up into a smile.

"Is there something wrong Tsuna? Who is that girl?" Dino asked Tsuna as he pointed Nairi out. 'Hoo… What a nice play Sir Dino.' Nairi thought. She bowed her head a little to Dino in acknowledgement.

"Um… Dino-san, everything is okay. As for this girl, she is just a delivery girl." Tsuna explained.

"I see. Well, why don't you let her go? You've got the object that you wanted, right?"

"Yes but Dino-nii…" before Tsuna could finish his sentence, Dino cut him off.

"Come on Tsuna, don't be so harsh like that," then Dino walked Tsuna to his chair. He put his hand on Tsuna's shoulder and whispered to him, "If something bad happens I know where to find this girl. Alright?" Tsuna eyed Dino with Are-you-sure look but Dino gave him an Of-course look. With a little encouragement from Dino, Tsuna faced the girl again. "Kimura-san, sorry to have held you up for so long. Thank you for your good work." He said with a smile on his lips as he gave her his thanks. Nairi also smiled and gave a bow as a farewell.

Her hand touched the handle of the door, but then she paused and pulled it back. She began to write on her notepad once more. When she finished, she tore the paper, fold it, and gave it to Tsuna. After that, she hurriedly walked to through the door and left.

Nairi closed the door behind her and sighed, then looked to her left and then to her right. 'The exit should be… this way' she took the right path. Unknown to her, there was dark figure watching every movement she made with his piercing black eyes and a grin on his face.

-Vongola HQ/12 PM/Palermo/Sicily/Italy-

"Dino-nii! Why did you cut me off? That girl brought something here that I even don't know the contents of or who the sender is." Tsuna said in panicked tone with a slight tremble to his voice. He was just imagining what Reborn would do to him if he found out.

"It's okay Tsuna. I told that I would take responsibility, didn't I?" Dino said with a big grin on his face.

"Even though you say that, if Reborn finds out, he'll kill me" Tsuna said resignedly.

"Yes, Dame-Tsuna. You're going to die"

"HIIEE!" Tsuna shrieked out in fight. Spinning around towards the door he spotted a figure which made him pale. There leaning on the door frame in his trademark suit and fedora was Reborn in his adult form, a dark amused glint present in his coal colored eyes. He raised a brow at his student

"You've got a lot of explain to do Dame-Tsuna. First, you not only let a suspicious person into the mansion but you let said person escape. Second, you tried to hide it from me. And lastly, you didn't escort the lady out and let her wander on her own in a place she doesn't have any experience in." Reborn said with his Leon in gun form pointed to his ex-student's head.

"Eh? What? Akh! I forgot to lead her out of mansion!" Tsuna shouted in shock. With that he ran out of his office.

"Dame as always." Reborn said with a smirk.

"Reborn, you lead her out, didn't you?" Dino asked worriedly.

"Nope." With that answer from Reborn, Dino's face paled and hurriedly ran after Tsuna. 'Looks like there will be a new member of Famiglia.' Reborn thought as he stepped out of the office and closed the door behind.
