Jinxed

Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! So sad it ended…. –crycrycry-

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the sequel to 'Owl, Horse, Shark!' So if you haven't read it yet, it is very very very very very highly recommended (by me) that you go read it otherwise this story will potentially make no sense whatsoever. So just in case you don't, I'll try my best with quick character introduction as a part of the story anyway.

Chapter 1: Jinxed

"You're going to learn to drive, already?" Squalo looked up from his desk at Minerva smiling at him with her usual bright smile framed by her red hair with the side braid resting on her shoulder.

"But you just turned 16 a couple of days ago and the incident with…." Dino hesitated.

"Even so, that's all in the past now," Minerva moved her hand as though to brush it all away. "The Saggezza turned their backs on me since I didn't inherit the title as the 10th Boss," she continued. "So that's why I think I should learn to drive as soon as possible so I'll stop burdening the Cavallone just that little bit."

Squalo sighed, "Believe me Minerva, it can wait."

Suddenly Minerva's cell phone rung and she pulled it out of her green skirt pocket. "Hello?"

"Hi Minerva," Romario said. "I know this is sudden but some of our men took some of the cars on missions. Also, today is supposed to be the day that the cars are checked for maintenance, so is it alright if you and Dino walk home today?"

"Ah, yeah sure," Minerva nodded and then hung up.

Dino sighed, "Cars on maintenance huh?"

…

The three of them stood at the bridge of Pace Mafia School next to the road in front of a black car. Squalo opened the door and stepped in. Before he closed it he said to Minerva and Dino, "Don't die." He waved and closed the door as the car drove away into the distance, leaving Dino and Minerva alone.

…

Minerva and Dino walked through Pace forest, their footsteps bunching the long green grass together beneath them. "We should get there quicker if we go this way right…?" Minerva looked around past the trees. A few seconds past and then suddenly there was a loud gunshot. They heard the loud chirping of birds suddenly flying away.

"What was that?!" Dino spun around and then saw the silhouettes of tall and subconsciously familiar men.

"Ah…more useless animals…Oh no wait, it's the bitch I shot a couple of weeks ago," there was a childish and cracked laugh of a boy. Minerva and Dino looked around to see the impossibly blonde hair of a kid standing out among the men in black suits. His neon blue eyes cheekily glaring at them, mocking them.

"You!" Minerva growled at him as memories of the gunshot and Squalo falling backwards on to the marble floor of the paintball arena.

"Morte, what are you doing here?!" Dino clenched his teeth and tightened his fist.

"We were just on a hunting trip, I just learnt how to use a shot gun too. Interesting isn't it? Would you like to be next for target practise?" Morte chuckled as he raised the shot gun and closed one eye. His chuckling grew louder and louder as the men shuffled sideways, surrounding Dino and Minerva in a circle. Minerva watched Morte load the gun while his snicker grew wider.

"DINO! RUN!" Minerva spun around and quickly pushed Dino away.

"Need any help….?" A young woman sat in the metal cage on the purple and black checkers. Her messy long red hair fell over her purple eyes as she looked up behind the steel bars at Minerva looking down at her.

"You better be glad I'm letting you out, even if it's temporary," Minerva raised her hand and pointed it towards the large lock on the door. The lock shattered with a loud bang as the metal shards fell to the ground like rain. "Save Dino, that's all I'm asking for."

"Sure thing," the woman stood up and walked out the half opened cage door.

"MINERVA YOU CAN'T!" Dino shouted as he pulled her towards him and Minerva's eyes widened. He watched her eyes change as Minerva's hand pushed him away from her. "What are y-?" Dino felt a hard blow at his chest as he flew backwards into a few of the men surrounding them.

"This is an order from Minerva," her voice grew darker, colder, more indifferent. She reached into her skirt pocket, "Get to a safe place somewhere and when you do, use her phone to call Reborn and the others. Hurry up," Dark Minerva took out the pink mobile phone and chucked it at him.

Dino quickly sat up as his heart thumped and his entire body trembled with feat, "Minerva…no..I ca-"

"JUST GO!" Minerva shouted as there was a loud gun shot. She fell forward and landed on her knees in the grass, clutching on to her arm. She slowly turned her head at Morte smirking as he lowered the shot gun, "Ah, I didn't get much out of that. I'm bored now. All of you, shoot her." Morte raised his hands. The men surrounding her raised their guns.

"MINERVA! NO!" Dino's eyes widened until his eyes were pure white. Gunshot after gunshot Minerva's body was tossed around with every hit. Drops of blood shot out of her body with every bullet until she took a final blow to the side of her head. Dino watched her fall sideways on to the grass with a soft thump with her blood stained red hair following her motion.

The men turned their guns to Dino on the ground until Morte spoke, "Don't kill him. Let him feel that strong pain again." He heard Morte chuckle louder and louder until he burst out with laughter. As Morte laughed evilly like a maniac, the men stared at Dino blankly through their dark sunglasses. Then they looked at Morte again when he stopped, "Let us go, we must be interrupting Cavallone's mourning," he burst out into laughter again as he turned around and walked away with his men following him.

OK I DID IT. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I KILLED OFF AN OC PROTAGONIST…EEEEK…but I thought it was a good idea… D: I'VE GOT MORE PLANNED DON'T WORRY!
