Target 002: Hibari Family Part 1

Nana stared warily at the traditional Japanese household. It held a threatening aura which brought up many memories. Nana swallowed and decided that there was no going back, she raised her hand to knock on the door and-

Bang! The door slid open and a tall woman appeared, her sharp grey eyes pierced holes into Nana's hazel ones. Her dark hair was pulled back into a loose bun and she was wearing a pitch black kimono highlighted with a deep purple, making her akin to a Yakuza wife.

"Sister." She said stiffly, her voice as cold as her appearance.

'Y-yun-nee -san…"Nana whispered, "It's been a whole, hasn't it?" She smiled warmly.

The woman before her suddenly change, her once threatening demeanour had become warm and light once she smiled, making her look identical to Nana. "Come in, we have a lot to talk about."

She ushered her sister inside the Japanese styled house, leading her to the kotatsu where they both kneeled down and faced each other.

"So, why have you decided to come only now?" Yun demanded, Nana knew how her sister had always loved cute things and had not-so-secretly decided that Nana was one of the 'cutest little animal on the planet,' which led to Yun's massive siscon phase, which she never seemed to grow out of it.

"I was busy raising my daughter Tsuruhime," Yun motioned for the brunette to go on, "so I didn't have time to visit."

Nana took a deep breath, "But know she wants to become an assassin like I was, I truly don't want her to go down that dark path, yet the other alternatives are much worse and har-."

Yun held up her hand and Nana stopped speaking, "You have truly gone soft, sister. My child, Kyoya has already begun learning how to fight, if that is what the child wants, then so be it. Ultimately it is only a parent's job to guide their children, not control them." Not like our father, were the unsaid words that Nana could hear so clearly.

"N… Nee-san thank you for your guidance." Nana stood up and make her right hand into a fist and put it up to her left hand's open palm, then she bowed down slightly in one of the traditional Chinese way of thanks. "I need to go now, I will visit you soon."

Nana had made her mind. She was going to train Tsuru to be the best assassin she could be.

Tsuru couldn't believe what she heard when her mother̶ yes her mother Sawada Nana̶ agreed to teacher her in the ways of an assassin, although it wasn't like she was going to kill anybody.

Not personally anyway, a tiny little voice mocked, she rapidly shook her head, banishing those evil thoughts.

"Mama are you sure?" Tsuru asked, her mother was being very different in the last few days, so unlike the gentle mother she had once known. Once she had researched her mother's symptoms she had arrived at a conclusion, her mother is a Yandere.

"Yes, Tsu-chan, very." Nana replied, "Now, where to start?"

It had been two years since Tsuru's mother had decided to train her and she couldn't be happier, while she still had not made her first kill, Tsuru was graceful and lethal when it came to fighting an opponent.

Nana had given Tsuru a choice of what weapon she was most comfortable with. Though Tsuru honestly favoured hand-to-hand combat, she knew that was probably one of the worst weapons an assassin to have.

Instead Tsuru decided for her main choice of weaponry to be twin pistols, Beretta M9's to be exact, her secondary choice of weaponry was a dagger, and her mother had given her two butterfly knives for her seventh birthday.

Tsuru had also taken up hacking as a hobby, she made a small living off of it, as information broker, which proved to be very useful for finding out information she technically shouldn't know, like her father's real job.

Her Father, Sawada Iemitsu, was the CEDEF; The Consulenza Esterna Della Famiglia of the Vongola Mafia. While her mother had already known about her husband's lies about being a construction worker, about being a man from the mafia, she could not just leave it aside and started to resent her father.

For not being there when she needed him, for spending more time with his famiglia rather that his real family. For lying to her mother.

But deep inside Tsuru knew she couldn't truly resent her father, so she decided when her father finally had the guts to admit to her mother that he was really part of the mafia, but until then she couldn't let go of her bitterness towards him.

But as she was digging for more information about her father she came across a terrible secret she would rather not have known, that she was a descendant of the first Vongola boss, Primo, therefore making her an heir for the Vongola. Thankfully, there were at least four other successors before her, which included her father.

But there was still the chance no matter how small, and Tsuru would not risk it, so she cut all connections she had with both the CEDEF and the Vongola Famiglia, though she still kept the small link she had to the Vongola's assassination squad, the Varia, they were already separated from Vongola due to what is now known as the Cradle Affair.

Tsuru glanced at the time, 7:00 AM she quickly shut her laptop as she it was time to go to school. Elementary school, the bane of her existence, Tsuru did not understand why school was compulsory. It sucked! Having to wake up early, socialize with others her age. Most of all having to think! Tsuru hated wasting brain cells on such mediocre things, like school work.

The brunette girl stood up from her seat in her room and searched for the things necessary for the school day, namely her school uniform, school hat, bag and glasses. She quickly changed out of her pajamas and into her uniform, which consisted of a dark blazer-like top, a skirt and knee high socks, she strapped her orange watch to her left wrist and then wore her large orange glasses.

"Tsu-chan! Breakfast time!" A light, airy voice called from downstairs, Tsuru knew it was her mother calling and she replied, "Mama, I'm coming!"

Tsuru grabbed her brown school bag-a satchel-and slung it over her head, then she ran downstairs but tripped on the last step causing the girl to land flat onto her face.

"Ow…." Tsuru moaned, rubbing her nose which absorbed most of the force, "Those stairs get me every time."

"Oh Tsu-chan," Tsuru's attention was pulled to her mother who had her hand on her cheek, "What am I ever going to do with you? If this was an assassination you would have set off the alarms."

"Sorry Mama," The assassin-in-training apologized, she stood up and took her place at the table. She scanned the food, miso and rice.

"Mama, there is poison in the soy sauce." Tsuru said, slumping her shoulders as her assassin training was still on going, even during mealtimes.

"Good job Tsu-chan!" Nana praised, "I have taught you so well!"

Tsuru blushed at the praise, "Well, I did learn from the best…" She rubbed her head sheepishly.

Nana replaced the poisoned soy sauce and Tsuru began to eat. Once she was done, she checked her watch, 7:30 AM. "Mama, I need to go now."

Her mother gave her a bento box with an orange cloth wrapped around it, Tsuru packed it into her bag. "Be safe at school!"

Tsuru nodded and walked to the doorway where she put on her school shoes. "I'm leaving!"

"Have a nice day!" Came the muffled voice of the brunette's mother.

Once Tsuru could see the school gate she could feel something was wrong, standing in the middle of the gate was a boy, not too much older than herself. He had raven hair and sharp grey pools but something about him struck Tsuru as… nostalgic.

She tried to ignore him as she walked through the school gate but as soon as she walked next to him a shiny metal object was pushed against her neck.

"Herbivore." The boy spoke softly but dangerously, Tsuru couldn't believe what he had just said. If her mother had not taught her to keep a straight face she would have burst out laughing, what kid uses Herbivore as a greeting?

"Where is your hat?" He asked, Tsuru opened her satchel bag and dropped it onto her head, the boy lowered his weapon which Tsuru recognized as a Tonfa.

'What a weird guy.' Tsuru thought to herself as she continued walking towards the school.

Meanwhile, Nana had just remembered, "Oh yes! I forgot to tell Tsu-chan that Nee-san and Kyou-kun are coming for dinner!"
