Hey! First Katekyo fanfic. It's been tossed around for a while and I'm just sending this out as a sort of promo of the main character. Opinions are welcome as to whether it should be continued!
Prologue:
The world of the Underground is divided. The Mafia strives for power, assassins slink down for excellence. At one's request, the other spills blood. If one grows too cocky, their former work associates will turn on them. Such is the balance, between the physical rulers, and the bloodthirsty shadows. So different, yet dependent. Despise the other, yet can coordinate with them. Like dogs and cats really.

As the sun crossed over and began its descent through the clouds, a single figure perched on the roof of an old ramshackle watchtower. The soft padding of footsteps made her turn to see her partner slinking up to her.
"Ready to go?" he asked, voice sliding seductively as he came up beside her. She nodded and they vaulted off the roof.
Two guards stationed at the entrance of their boss' mansion bared their weapons when a figure's shadow stained the fog but relaxed when its owner came out.
"Hey, little girl, you can't be-" their words cut off as she walked right by them. They collapsed, lifeless, to the ground, not even earning a look. She gently pressed an item into the key hole and the door swung soundlessly open. She looked back and her partner jumped over.
"Let's go." She nodded in reply and they slipped in.

In the office, the boss was in a deep discussion with his companion.
"Did you hear? The arcobaleno curse is over. The Seven Strongest Infants are adults."
"Do you know the famiglias they're allied with? We'll need them to be in an alliance with us, or we're as good as dead sometime in the future."
"Stop looking to the future." A soft voice interrupted, making them jump up in shock. "And think about now."
"Who are you?" the boss yelled, jumping out. The small girl came out from the doorway.
"Fernando Costelle, yes?" she asked, face emotionless. He growled.
"I know who I am, brat. How'd you get in here?"
"That's not important." She looked up with black eyes. "What's important is that you are both going to die." Her partner slipped up beside her, eyes flashing with mirth. The men started before bursting into laughter.
"An unarmed school girl and a black cat? What are you going to do, throw your lunches at us?" The two facing them didn't even react before darting forward. When the girl stopped and looked back, the bodies were slumped against the wall and blood littered the room. The flash of steel on her hands vanished and her companion looked at her slyly.
"You've got blood on you again." He purred. She looked dismissively at the drips trickling down her cheek, and wiped it off with the boss' priceless handkerchief, which was dropped down on the floor amidst the mess.
"Let's collect the reward. I don't like this place."
As they left, her chin raised a fraction, in disdain. "After all, Mafioso are just worthless dogs."
I know. It's short. But it gets message across, remember
Opinions needed as to whether I should continue!
