Chapter 1: The Spark of Interest
"Are you ready Princess?"
The sound of her right-hand man was very formal and business like, as it always had been. The dark haired girl fastened the strap of her large, white hat that symbolized her authority, adjusting it till it felt just right.
"Yes Gamma, I'll be there in a second…"
3 times she tried to tie it and 3 times she failed. She gave out a sigh while sitting down with a troubled look. She felt hands on her shoulders.
"The boss would be proud of you, Princess."
This time, it had a more fatherly tone as if he was the one whom the deal was to be made.
"It just doesn't feel right Gamma…. I know this will be just a simple negotiation but something's off."
"Like what Princess?"
She tapped her foot impatiently upon the maple wood floorboards that shone like wooden mirrors.
"Everything. Everything's wrong! The set-up, time of day, agendas, everything! I think we shouldn't go….."
Gamma managed a small laugh. For a large framed man like him, it seemed that laughing was the last thing he'll consider on his deathbed, especially at his boss. He smiled almost mischievously.
"I forgot to tell you, didn't I?"
"Tell me what? What would be so insignificant for you to forget?"
She treated every detail, even minor ones, with importance. It wasn't a wonder to him how she made this mafia family strong at such a young age. Still, she was but a child in need of assistance.
"This whole meeting is a fake Princess…."
"Fake?! What do you mean fake?! And why would they demand so much if it was a fake congregation?"
He pulled out an envelope out of nowhere (weird huh? That's the world of anime!) and handed it to her. It was thick with paper documents, files of partners (targets…) photos and a letter. She studied it for a brief time, almost instantly. Her inborn knowledge and intelligence on this profession was her key asset.
"The Ninth of Vongola-"
The mention of the name of the strongest, and not to mention bloodstained, family sent an immediate chill down her spine.
"Vongola?! What do they want with us?! What did we do to come across people like them?"
Her usual calm yet authoritative demeanor had vanished, succumbed by fear.
"Calm down Princess, let me finish first 'kay boss? It says here that we're going to train the Ninth's successor, Vongola Decimo."
He handed her a photo of a brown haired boy with matching caramel eyes with the head tilted. It was clear that he didn't know the picture was taken. After looking at it, she got an odd sense of both dejavu and a strange emotion.
"From his file, he is a clear descendant of its first head, Vongola Primo, and he came all the way from Japan to carry on his inheritance."
Gamma stopped there and looked at her. To his shock, he saw her staring at the photo, her eyes in an unclear expression, a slight trail of pink on her cheeks and slightly opened mouth. Then he thought to himself.
"Now THIS would be interesting…"
Yeah this is my first story. Sorry if it sucks….
