Target 1: Introducing Cupid!
Some gore, because it's somewhat required. I warned you.
But hopefully, my horrid writing and plot is understandable.
Warning:
Author's horrible grammar and possibly the flow of the story.
The OOC-ness of every single one of the KHR casts.
And constant (4th) wall breaking.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, which is good because sometimes ideas for its next scenes would suck.
[Narrator POV]
Night time.
Somewhere in Sicily, Italy.
"Boss!" A man in his early twenties, wearing a black suit tainted with blood, chased after his boss from his family. "Please don't leave!"
"Stay away from me, Luciano!" The boss shouted at his subordinate in fear, wanting to be as far away as possible from him. "I already told you that I can't!"
"But why boss!?" The man with a bloodied suit, Luciano cried to his boss, tears swelling his bright blue eyes. "All I did was protect you! Come back, boss! Please!"
"NO!" The boss, who is in his late twenties, continued running away. He was panting deeply, and his legs were tired, in the verge of collapsing, but he forced himself to run even faster.
Until a gun was shot and it buried itself in the man's leg, causing him to trip and fall on the ground in pain.
The boss held his wounded leg to ease the pain before finding someone looming over him.
He turned paled white when he met a pair of psychothic blue eyes with a tint of pink of his subordinate.
"N-No..." The boss whimpered when he met the nose of the other's gun.
"Boss..." Luciano gave a soft spoken whisper. "I can't just let you go."
The subordinated gritted his teeth harshly, almost making them crack due to the burning anger and jealously swirling in his blue eyes.
"IF I CAN'T BE WITH YOU, NO ONE WILL!"
BANG!
The boss screamed when Luciano's body fell onto the ground, the hole in his chest was bleeding out and made a pool of blood.
"Boss!"
A woman in her mid-twenties went up to her boss, hugging the man.
"I'm so glad you're alright," she held him close. "I almost thought that he would have killed you..."
"M-Marie..."
"I can't let that happen."
The boss soon started hearing a faint beeping sound from the woman, which caused his eyes to widen in dread when he sees what the woman had wrapped around her torso.
It was a bomb.
00:10 seconds left, and counting.
"Let me go, Marie!" He tried pushing the girl away from him, but the woman wouldn't budge. "P-Please... Not like this!"
00:05 seconds left, and counting.
"Let's die a lovers' suicide," Marie kissed the man, who was still not ready to accept death so soon and her proclamation of love. "Boss~"
00:00
BOOM!
In the alleyway laid a partially burnt body of Luciano, with the body parts and blood of Marie and her boss decorating the walls, along with the crater from the explosion.
A shadow loomed over the scene.
It was a young teenage girl, probably around 14, who has short, curly pink hair and crimson red eyes.
"Such a pity," she stared at the corpses with pure disappointment in her eyes. "I suppose he deserves it, considering the fact that he became greedy."
She sighed.
"My gift for him has gone to waste," With that, she brought a journal out of her backpack before writing down her remarks. "Oh well. What else is new?"
"Antonio Rossi, Boss of the La Arma Famiglia," she spoke as she writes it down. "Another greedy sshole."
After she finished writing, and putting the journal back in her backpack, she brought out a red heart origami and tucked it underneathe the decapitated head of Antonio.
"Now then," This time, she brought out her cellphone to view a list of people. "Who's next?"
Her eyes scanned over the Japanese Name that made his way on her list, she finds a boy, around her age, with gravity-defying brown hair and doe brown eyes.
"Hmm... Tsunayoshi Sawada, huh?" She then eyed his description. "Such a pitiful boy."
She tucked her phone in her pocket before looking up at the night sky. "May the Goddess of Love bless and shower your life with love."
And with that, she left the scene and to the shadows, almost vanishing before the police came.
Present Time
Namimori, Japan.
"HIIEEEEEE!" Tsuna shrieked, as he was running around the room to get ready for school. "I'M LATE!"
Once the future Neo-Vongola Decimo finished and checking if he has everything, he ran down the stairs, surprisingly only tripping twice but didn't tumbled over, before reaching the kitchen just to grab a toast.
Despite those passed battles and trials the brunette had faced, he is still the well-known Dame-Tsuna of Namimori. Much to a certain hitman's dismay, but he got to say that his student grew a bit.
Only a bit.
"Bye, mom!" He waved at his mother as he was leaving the house.
"Have a fun day at school, Tsu-kun!" Nana just beamed with a bright smile before turning to the raven 7 year old home tutor, who is drinking some expresso as he read today's newspaper reports. "Would you like some more coffee, Reborn-kun?"
"Sure, mama." Reborn just smiled at the woman before noticing his partner, Leon, who has a file in his mouth.
Putting the newspaper away, he took the file from the chameleon's mouth and giving his thanks, he opened it to read it's contents.
"Hmm..." His onyx eyes narrowed at the words. "Another mysterious homicidal suicide."
"Another one?" Bianchi frowned after hearing the words that her young lover read. "This has been going for two years now."
Reborn gave a nod to the woman, as he was reading the file's report.
Case #46: Cupid's Stray Arrows
Victim:
Araceli Colomba, Boss of the Svettante Famiglia (DECEASED)
From the FBI investigation reports, Ms. Colomba was found dead in one of the hidden chambers of the Svettante Famiglia Mansion before the FBI came.
She has multiple cuts, bruises, and burns. The FBI Autopsy Team reported that her subordinates were the cause of the wounds, after discovering that the burns were caused by her subordinates' Flames, with the Sun Flame only partially healing her.
The two red heart origamis, the trademark of the well-known, infamous Cupid were found in the scene as well. One of which seems to have been given to her long before the incident happened, and the other one in the crime scene.
The chamber was decorated with torture equipment, along with an electric chair powered by Lightning Flames, and whithered bouquets of red roses, rotten chocolates, partially burnt stuffed toys, torn silk dresses and gowns, and melted jewelries.
Some of the culprits were found and arrested, while others have committed suicide, leaving a note which mostly states about them wanting to atone for their sins because they tortured and made their beloved boss suffer.
The FBI also investigated the other family members of the Svettante Famiglia, the subordinates, and allied families to interrogate them about the woman's situation. And soon they discovered that most of them were captivated by the woman, for they've gone berseck when they heard about her death.
All of them said that they love Ms. Colomba.
(Author: Just want to be honest; I don't know how to make a report)
Reborn flipped over the pages to find pictures of the woman when she was found in the chambers, and pictures of her guardians, who were arrested or committed suicide, as what the reports stated.
"Svettante Famiglia were one of the influential families, right, Bianchi?" The hitman asked the Poison Scorpion.
"Yes," Bianchi replied. "They were known through the economic system for creating and selling some items that are in trend."
"Mostly fashion related, if I'm not wrong," Reborn sipped on his expresso, which, sadly, had gone cold. "Mama, can I have a new cup? It got cold."
"Right away, Reborn-kun." Nana just smiled at the toddler before taking the mug, and headed to the kitchen.
"This is annoying." The hitman sighed after scimming the reports before placing them down on the table.
"This self-proclaimed Cupid..." The Italian woman growled in anger before tears were forming in the corners of her eyes. "Using love in such a horrible way..."
Reborn just stared at the file, as he was listening to his lover's words.
He doesn't want to believe that this were all done because of love. It seems impossible, considering the fact that there were victims that were married, and yet loved by their subordinates.
The hitman had contacted Dino and Iemitsu about this case before, however, neither of the two families under the Vongola Famiglia were able to grasp the situation.
"But, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, Reborn~" Bianchi smiled at the raven toddler lovingly. "This Cupid wouldn't dare lay his hands on you, as long as I'm here~"
You can see the hearts floating around her.
Reborn continued eyeing on the file, debating to himself whether to feel cautious or ignore the case.
I mean, the incidents mostly occurs in Italy, and the usual victims were those ages between twenties and fifties. So, the chances of the Vongola Famiglia crossing paths with Cupid seems unlikely to happen.
...
I suppose he should call Lal or Viper about this. And if he did go and ask for Viper, he should prepare his check for the Ex-Mist Arcobaleno's services.
And maybe check on the Vongola Ninth along with it.
Just to be sure.
Anything can happen, and ignoring it would be suicide in the Mafia World.
P.E time.
Namimori Middle School.
Tsuna and his classmates from 2-A were playing a friendly game of soccer/football.
Well, if you would count it friendly, if it weren't for the two opposing teams; Team Hayato and Team Takeshi, who were brawling like men at war in the field.
At some times, the Italian Bomber would kick the ball directly at his opponents' faces, knocking them all down as the ball was passed to his nearby teammates.
Of course, the Japanese Swordman wouldn't lose to the other. He would use some of his Shigure Soen Ryu moves (like his 3rd Form: Yarazu no Ame) in footwork, since he's playing soccer than kendo. You could say it's very effective.
Give praise that he got Hayato off guard with those techniques about 7 times now.
While the field was at war, and the crazy fangirls were going crazy, Tsuna sat by the bleachers since he's a Sub.
If you're wondering where Enma is, he is with Adelheid. The Glacier Guardian wanted to speak to her boss in private, so she had the Shimon Boss go to the Reception Room before P.E period.
Tsuna waved at his Storm Guardian, after seeing that the other scored a point for their team before turning to his direction with those sparkling puppy eyes, perked up doggy ears, and a wagging dog tail.
Such a loyal dog.
Anyways, the brunette was having a peaceful day so far, despite all the shenanigans his family does 24/7. It's just another normal day for him.
And yes, even the soccer ball that was kicked and letting itself land a painful impact on his poor face, that would still count as normal.
Ah, although he fainted this time.
Oh well.
First Period.
Class 1-A. Namimori Middle School.
Tsuna looked around in confusion, especially at the color and why was he in his old classroom. "Could it be a memory...?"
Everything was all black and gray, like those old movies back in the days.
He also noticed that Hayato, Chrome, Enma, and Shitt P weren't there, so he would assume that this occured before Reborn entered his life.
How long ago was that, neh?
"Class, I want you to meet an exchange student from Italy," Nezu-sensei announced. "Her stay won't be long, but still treat her kindly. Copy?"
"Yes, sensei."
"Good," He cleared his throat before turning his attention to the door. "You can come in now."
All eyes were on the door that slid open, revealing a girl with short and curly hair. However, the Vongola Don couldn't make out the girl's facial features, no matter how hard he squinted his eyes.
"Everyone, this is 64rcí4 L4!l4n!."
'What the... Heck...?' Tsuna blinked in confusion when he only heard jiberish, instead of an actual name, from Nezu-sensei after introducing the exchange student.
Everything turned static, like those old televisions when you change the channel, before clearing up to find himself on top of the school roof.
Judging by the color of the sky, it was the end of the school, but somehow the Vongola Don felt as if days have passed.
He put his concern about the time away, after seeing that he's with the exchange student.
"Do you wish to be L0v3d?"
"E-Eh?" Tsuna looked at the girl in confusion, especially after hearing jiberish in the end.
"Then D!3."
His eyes widen when he met face to face with the exchange student's gun.
BANG!
"HIEEE!" The brunette fell off of a bed, like he always does whenever Reborn wakes him up using the "Vongola Traditional Way of Waking People."
"O-Ow..." Tsuna groaned in pain before slowly getting up and sat on the bed.
"Wait, bed...?" He looked around to find himself in the hospital room, with the sun setting on the horizon. "I-It's already this late!?"
Yes, he prioritized the time than his current location.
"Tsuna...kun...?" Enma, who was sitting on a chair on the right side of his best friend's bed, woke up from his fellow Mafia Don's loud voice.
Tsuna fell on his left.
"Eh? Enma-kun?" It's quite surprising that he didn't find a mop of red hair on his side of the bed. "U-Um, what happened? And why am I here?"
"Ah, well, you were taken to the hospital—"
"HOSPITAL!?"
"I-It wasn't anything serious!" The Shimon Boss reassured the Vongola Boss. "Dr. Shamal doesn't treat men, so... A-And the teacher suggested bringing you here to have the doctors check on you."
Tsuna then recalled kissing the soccer ball that afternoon before he nodded, understanding his teacher's concern.
"I-I can get you some water, if you like, T-Tsuna-kun?" Enma shyly offered to his friend.
"Ah, s-sure," Tsuna smiled warmly. "Thank you, Enma-kun."
The red-haired just smiled back before getting off of his seat, and left the room to get some water.
Once the other was out of the room, the brunette pondered as he was recalling his that memory, or probably a dream.
Who knows?
Tsuna rubbed on his forehead, recalling the first time Reborn shot him with the Dying Will Bullet.
Somehow, he felt as if he was actually shot on the forehead before his home tutor did.
The Vongola Don immediately shook that thought away.
"It could have been a pellet gun for all I know, and I fainted," Tsuna nodded in approval to that assumption. "There's no way I've been shot with a bullet other than Reborn."
Enma came back just in time before giving his friend a glass of water.
After that, the two whimpy bosses checked out of the hospital before going home.
Reborn decided to snoop— I mean, investigate his student's bedroom.
He just decided to check everything just to be sure.
Yes, the hitman is worried about this student.
But don't tell Tsuna about that.
Anyways, he was tossing all of the brunette's messy clothes out of his closet, only for his onyx eyes to widen when he saw a particular red heart origami.
He would have assumed that his student had an art subject in school, but he wouldn't.
He couldn't, considering the fact that there were small splatter of dried blood.
And the cursive words written behind it.
"Blessed by Cupid's arrows. You are now loved by all."
La Arma - Guns
Svettante - Soaring
And I used Jejemon/Jejetyping (a type of Language used in texting here in the Philippines) for this part — "64rcí4 L4!l4n!"
All my Filipino Homies should be able to read this :P
So, I'm totally not sure where to go with this (even though this one was supposed to be the first fanfic that I should have published), unlike my Genderbent KHR Fanfic — "Girl Power! Literally."
No hate please ~
And leave a review :D
