Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn
-Prologue-
Nobody would have ever thought about this matter. The prestigious Vongola had been miscalculating the history. Their fate changed when something new had discovered and almost forgotten. The new Vongola ring. Typhoon Flame Ring attributes was discovered next to the grave of the Vongola Primo, Giotto. A note was written by him in a little box which contained the Typhoon Ring.
Someday, something will endanger the Vongola. Coherent, intelligent and strong-willed are required to hold this ring.
Sicily, Italy 03.15 pm
The small hitman read the note carefully as he stood before the 9th Vongola Boss. His tiny figure jumped to the nearest sofa he could reach. His palm rested under his chin. The 9th sighed and turned his chair to the window. All of the glory and welfare that Vongola had been sticking on to had failed to uncover this matter at the first time. Why Giotto would bury the 8th Vongola ring? Who's going to endanger Vongola that would make the 8th Vongola ring so important? And most importantly, who would be qualified fill the position of the Typhoon Ring? All these questions flowed into both minds of the old mafia boss, the 9th and Reborn, the tiny black-suited hitman.
"All I ever know that there are only 7 rings," Vongola Nono's voice sounded so despair, "Even if there is one person who could fit the position, it would be dangerous since no one has ever used that ring."
There was a moment of silence in the room. No one had started any conversation after 9th hopeless statement. Reborn once again reached the 9th desk and stood before him as the Vongola Nono turned his chair to face Reborn.
"Do you have someone in mind to fit the position?" the old man figured Reborn's mind.
"I have someone that qualifies the requirements of the Typhoon Ring," Reborn paused, "I will call her."

Wisconsin, North America 07.00 pm
It was a dark hazy night; a brown-reddish girl sipped the last drip of her coffee. Her soles were tapping as she waited for someone to appear. And no, not to have a date with neither to enjoy coffee together. If she had any choice, she would never want to wait for anything including this person. Not long after she was about to leave the coffee shop, a guy with a blonde messy hair appeared before her. The Bucking Horse, Dino.
"I'm very sorry, Azusa. Am I late?"
The girl reached for his collar and gripped it strongly, showing her anger in her grey orbs. Then she sighed heavily and shoved him away.
"How come you apologized before you asked if you are late or not!?"
"S-sorry... Anyway, we have to leave soon, pack up your belongings."
Azusa crossed her arms, "Wait a minute. Reborn didn't tell me anything about leaving!" Reborn did tell her about the Vongola Ring matter, but she didn't expect to leave her country. As the youngest U.S. Marine soldier, she played an important role for the country. She shoved her bangs away from her face a few times. The decision was too quick; she didn't even have the time to decide.
"Dino, I can't leave…" Azusa pleaded. Dino smiled and cupped Azusa's cheek. Her expression didn't change.
"Don't worry, Azusa-chan. I will negotiate with your department," Dino kissed her forehead. Azusa pissed at how Dino always treated her like a little sister. "You can ask Romario to help you packing."
The slim-figured girl nodded and went inside the black limousine as Dino followed her in the back. Romario started the car and drove them on the way to the airport. Azusa had been spacing out at the window. If I could just turn down the offer, she thought. But she couldn't. Nobody could ever refuse a demand from the World's most powerful mafia, which is the Vongola. The choice was in her hand, and Vongola was so cruel that they left her only one choice.
Azusa glanced at the message that she received from Reborn a few hours ago. She rested her head at the comfortable black leathered sofa. Her life changed just in a few hours. She had been a Marine for two years, which was very honored for such a young age. Dino stared at her sympathetically as he patted Azusa's hair. The pissed off girl glared at him.
"Look at the bright side. Maybe, with all the training in Japan later, you could overcome your weakness right? It wasn't a bad choice. Plus, Reborn may help you recover from it." Dino's voice was soothing enough to make Azusa face him. For the first time in a very uneasy situation, she smiled calmly.
"Hmph, well, not too bad indeed."
Because, all she ever wanted is to omit her troublesome weakness. The demon within her.
