Sora: Chapter 1
Ten months after researching, toying, and dismantling his laptop, plus studying the vast coding world, Tsuna was finally ready to try a hand in hacking. He started off small: breaking into a small company near his home, secretly updating their security system for them, then pulling out; hacking into another small server in Tokyo, doing his best to completely erase his tracks from the site. With the lack of challenge in those hacks, Tsuna quickly got bored, and took his skills up to a new level. As his knowledge and interest for hacking grew, so did the difficulty between hacking.
He broke into one company's servers after another, and he often helped the company up the security, so that not many others could hack into it. Finally, during one of the young hacker's breaking spree to a fairly large pharmaceutical company, he encountered another fellow hacker, Jallentino. However, this hacker was infamous in the underground world as a black hat, and his malicious attempt to destroy the company's server was no exception. Tsuna knew that this hacker was a rival or an enemy, as the young one considered himself as a white hat. Thus began the internal war for domination.
Jallentino was definitely extremely strong in hacking and many times as they clashed, Tsuna sincerely believed that Jallentino would break through the less-experienced barriers. Tsuna acknowledged his enemy's strength, but Tsuna never gave into his opponent as they fought in deadlock. It was Jallentino's greatest strength that became also his downfall. While the traps that the hacker set was nearly impeccable, Jallentino faltered in one of his codes, and the young hacker, seeing this, quickly took advantage of the small mistake. That breakthrough kicked Jallentino out of the server forcefully and sealed the other hacker's only door. However, in the moments before being kicked out, Jallentino saw one word tagged at the end of Tsuna's code, and he recognized that it was what Tsuna called himself: "Sora."
Sora as a name spread like wildfire in underground and many sought to challenge him. As his skills were broadcast after all he had beaten one of the best hackers Jallentino himself. Tsuna simply wanted to help out companies enforce and improve their servers.. It was his winning streak that many recognized his skills as one of the best. Tsuna, of course, having not yet participated in the shady world, was oblivious to his title. But in spite of his lack of participation in the underground world, he was aware of it. It took another ten months before he dared participate in the secret society. With this new participation, Tsuna became even more popular than he was before. Also, there, he was able to access crime syndicates' information.
As Tsuna grew more experienced working as a hacker, he made an IM for companies who approached him to do minor jobs for them. Tsuna accepted a few. After he completed his first job, he made his own secret bank account so he could store money. As his completed works got more attention his reputation increased, he made many friends and enemies while working for various companies. However, even as his reputation increased no one knew his real identity.
When Tsuna was nine, an IM with a questionable heading appeared in his inbox. Tsuna checked for possible trackers and viruses and deleted them before he opened the email.
Sender: Vongola Co.
Recipient: Sora
Hello Sora:
You are being offered a position within the Vongola Famiglia by Vongola Nono.
we have been watching your work for many months, and Vongola Nono admires
your generous heart in aiding your "clients" improve their security from other
hackers.
Vongola Nono offers you to be part of our mafia group, and you will be paid well
for doing jobs for us. If you accept the offer, we would like to know your
other abilities, so that we could expound it to its full extent. Thank you considering
the offer.
Sincerely,
Vongola Nono
Tsuna's eyes froze at the end of the email, his mouse hovering over the delete button. One thing he knew for sure is that even if he banished this email into cyberspace, it did not guarantee that he will be safe from the mafia. Therefore, he weighed the pros and cons in his head. A positive if he accepted the position is that he would be affiliated with the strongest mafia and its allies. Also, he would have money to do his projects and extra could support his mother. Unfortunately, if he accepted the job is that he will be targeted and his mother would not be safe.
Tsuna did not want to work for a mafia full-time at his young age, but he was willing to partner with the Vongola if he took the job. He could work for hire as both a hacker and as an assassin for Vongola and its allies. It was quite obvious that the pros outweighed the cons. However, Tsuna was still hesitant.
After thinking about it for several moments, Tsuna finally made a decision. He clicked the reply button and wrote his answer.
Random Omake Section (ROS: Robot Operation System—I have to make it techie, ya?)
A/N: My friend really likes the pairing GiottoxFem!Tsuna, so I decided, just for fun, to do a piece. This is completely unrelated to "Sora." However, I'm thinking that every week, at the end of every chapter, I'll include a special omake with a different topic and tone every week. It will be completely unedited, as I will be writing whatever pops in my head at that moment. If you like the omake, please let me know in the reviews, and if you wish, you can suggest a topic (e.g. Gokudera&Tsuna at the arcade or something) and tone (e.g. hilarious, sarcastic, dark) for me. Thanks for reading!
Topic: GiottoxFem!Tsuna (Giotto is one of the popular boys, while Tsuna is, well, Tsuna. However, Tsuna will have a sadistic streak in her.)
Tone: Sadistic
Location: Vongola Academy (in my head, it looks like Hogwarts, but the castle will be brighter)
Tsuna walked along the corridors, thinking of different ways to incapacitate and kill someone without leaving any traces.
Tsuna, by all means, was a fair and pretty girl. However, many girls were jealous of her looks, and thus, she was often bullied by her enemies. Therefore, in order to hide her looks, she grew out her bangs. She did not do very well at school, mostly because her head were normally in the clouds, and she did not pay attention to the teachers. The teachers were disappointed in her participation and grades in class, but they dared not say anything as she came from an influential mafia. The boys never paid attention to her because she did not bring attention to herself at all.
The only one class she actually paid attention to was the Incapacitation class, as she found it very interesting. There, she learned ways to quickly kill or torture someone, and everything in between. Because she found this class so interesting, she knew that she wanted to become an assassin when she grew up.
Because her head was in the clouds, again, she did not notice her way until she crashed into someone and landed on the floor with an "oof!"
"Watch where you're going, wimp," came a male voice from the person she bumped into. Tsuna froze. It was one of the most popular, smart boys, Giotto. Through her bangs, she saw his face darken.
Tsuna stood up and after muttering a quick "sorry," she began to walk away. However, Giotto grabbed her hand and turned her around.
"What did you say…" Giotto began in anger. However, in that quick moment when Tsuna turned around, her bangs cleared her face, and he was shocked at the sight. Tsuna frowned at his new countenance.
"What?" she demanded, clearly exasperated.
"You're so beautiful," Giotto managed. Tsuna rolled her eyes under her bangs.
"So what?" she impatiently asked. When no response came, Tsuna sighed. "Well, if you have nothing else, sempai, I must go back to my dorm to finish my homework."
Tsuna once again turned around, but Giotto said, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
The girl once again rolled her eyes. "No."
"What?"
"I said no. What part of 'no' don't you understand? Oh wait, you DON'T, because you're not used to rejection. Well here's my answer. N-O. No. Absolutely not. Nada."
"Please…"
Tsuna smirked. She turned around to face Giotto. Moving her bangs away with her hands so that Giotto could see her piercing brown eyes, she said with a look that was positively evil, "Well, if you want to be my boyfriend so bad, prepare to die."
