Chapter Two
(Akako point of view)
After several periods of boredom, yes, it was lunch. I walked towards the gate and stepped into a limousine.
And, of course, again with the rumours.
Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm rich. I take up missions from many clients, and I work for the Vongola. Combat, sometimes. Usually, it's interrogation, torture, and information gathering. I don't think you should give me credit for the last one though. Find the right sites on the internet, and you become a pro information gatherer. I truly have no talent. But I have a bit of luck. Which I am thankful for.
If you didn't already figure it out, yes, I was abandoned at birth at Vongola mansion, and Lal Mirch found me and looked after me. Then she let me use her last name. Which I am grateful for, but that's another story. You'd think my mother would have constantly trained me, right? Not exactly. She only made me take a couple of self defence lessons to defend myself in emergency. But hey, you learn quite as much just watching other people fight. Which is what I did. Watch my mother beat up people instead of television. Rather entertaining, if I may say.
I moved to Japan because the Ninth and some dude called Reborn asked me to.
When I hacked into the Vongola information base to find out more about Reborn, I found that he was a baby. Me taking orders from a baby. No biggie. My adopted mother's a baby too. Even though she told me she took pills from some guy called Verde to assume a temporary adult body to make looking after me easier.
I have three servants working in my mansion. Less like servants, and more like friends. Eve, the maid. She's 15. Dawn, the errand boy. He's 15. Jacques, the butler. He's 20.
I don't treat them like slaves. There is no set uniform, the pay is sufficient and they can do as they please in the mansion, once their errands are done. No, seriously, people really had a knack for ditching their kids at Vongola Mansion. The four of us were ditched there. But we all had our names attached to our baskets. And, in case you've been wondering, Eve and Dawn came from the same parents. The one thing I can say about their parents. They sure liked the times of the day. Eve and Dawn? Indeed, they're twins.
I sat down in the limousine and pressed a button. A laptop extended.
"Jacques." I said.
"Yeah?" He replied, folded up his newspaper, and put it away. As you can see, I didn't cram manners into my servants. They don't even need to be overly polite to me. This way, I don't feel so… high and mighty.
"Please, take me to Namimori Diner. It's rather close, and the food is said to be pretty good quality."
"Sure, sure."
We reached there in no time. I sat down and ordered a cup of espresso, and a box of fancy cakes. When the food was served, I threw the box over to Jacques.
"Bring them back to the mansion, and you three can guzzle the cakes up as you freely wish." I sipped some espresso.
Jacques grinned a cheesy grin. "Pleasure, Miss."
"You don't have to call me Miss." I said.
He sped off and left me in the dust.
I sipped some more espresso, when I realised I had company. Indeed, someone had taken the honour of taking the seat opposite me. It was… a baby.
"You!" I pointed my finger at the baby. "Whatshisname? Reborn something or other!"
He jumped onto my head and hammered it a few times. "It's just Reborn, Lal Mirch daughter."
I pulled him off my head in annoyance. "It's Akako, baby. I mean, Arcobaleno."
The baby smirked. "So you've heard of me?"
I frowned. "Wouldn't I be an idiot if I didn't know you?"
"Yes, you would be, Miss Red eyes."
"Gee, thanks." I rolled my eyes. I looked at the baby again.
He was also ordering a cup of espresso. He pointed at me. "She's paying." He told the waitress.
"Ok fine." I glared at the baby. "Only because I know you'd force me to pay one way or another."
"Correct." The baby raised his gun.
I didn't become Tsuna and scream.
"So scary." I drank the rest of my espresso. "Besides, I've got to get back to school soon." I took out a phone and dialled a number. The limousine and Jacques appeared in less than a minute.
"The speed you drive creeps me out, as usual." I said to Jacques, and placed a couple of notes and coins on the table. I turned to Reborn.
"See you again, baby." I smirked.
He hopped onto my shoulder. "Not so fast. Aren't you in the same class as No-good Tsuna?"
"You mean the boy who accidentally threw his bag at my head and fell at my feet this morning?"
"Yes, him."
"Wait, how do you know?" I was curious.
"I've been making my secret passages all day, and watching him." Reborn smirked. "Be nice to this friend of your mother and give me a lift."
"Fine. Come on, then. And don't you dare pee in the car or anything like that."
The baby held back a small laugh. "Wouldn't dream of it."
"So we're at the school. You can leave now, baby." I looked back, but the kid was gone. And instead, I spotted a wet puddle.
"OMG DID HE ACTUALLY PEE ON THE CAR?" I raised my hand threateningly.
Jacques walked over and inspected the wet patch. He poked it. Then he sniffed it. Then he prodded it again. "Relax, it's just water. I'll get rid of it in no time. Go to school already."
I sighed. "Why do I have to go to school when Eve and Dawn don't have to go? Geez, it's so boring, you know?" I stepped out of the car and grabbed my bag. "See you later."
And again with the rumours.
Do people in the school not know how to keep quiet? Annoying.
A girl walked up to me.
I looked at her.
"Mirch-san, you really shouldn't glare at people like that." She smiled friendlily.
"I'm not glaring."
She tilted her head to one side. "Really? I'm sorry then. Your gaze really looks like a glare." She stuck out her hand. "I'm Sasagawa Kyoko."
I didn't take her hand, but she grinned again anyway. "Mirch Akako."
"I know." She laughed. "You're the talk of the whole school."
I stared at her disbelievingly, but more pink sparkles surrounded her. I groaned.
"That's it. I'm going home." I turned to the orange-haired girl. "Nice meeting you, Sasagawa-san."
"Just call me Kyoko, Mirch-san."
"Akako then, Kyoko-chan." I took out my phone again and dialled Jacques. "Oh, can you tell the teacher I'm skipping class?"
"Um.. Ok then!" She skipped off merrily.
As I was about to step into the car, (Jacques- You called me AGAIN?) I discovered something.
The real vampire of the school. Not me.
Black hair. Check.
Fluttering coat. Check.
Pale skin. Check.
Cold eyes. Check.
Sharp teeth. Check. Actually, I wasn't sure of this one. The vampire in front of me didn't smile or talk, so how could I tell? Instead the thing slid two metal tonfas out of his sleeves.
The vampire said, "For trying to skip school and leaving the school grounds, I'll bite you to death."
And I, laughed. "I… would prefer not dying. Yet. "
I turned to Jacques, who was trying not to smile. "Jacques, give me here anything metal. He has a weapon. I don't. This won't be a very fair fight."
He smiled and passed me a pair of long knives.
Just in time, too.
Mr Vampire charged, and I challenged his blow using one of the knives. Give me some credit. I'd never fought with knives. A little kicks, a few punches, perhaps, but I never really used a weapon. I suck at this. But, the good thing is I'm not dead. Which should mean I'm not as bad with knives as I think, right?
As I continued to hold back the vampire, I used my foot and kicked the door of the car shut. Then I jumped back, onto the car. Jacques, who understood my actions, started driving, as I waved to Mr Vampire. He glared at me.
"The Disciplinary Committee will deal with you another day." He said.
And I stuck my tongue out at him and meditated on top of the car while Jacques drove home.
I sat on top of the car, meditating and talking to Jacques through the phone at the same time.
"Jacques." I frowned slightly.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"Answer truthfully, ok?"
"Sure, what?"
"Why do you even have a pair of knives?"
Awkward silence. Then…
"AHAHAHA, Miss, why would you ask?" Jacques laughed unnaturally. "Oh look, I have to concentrate on driving. I'll talk to you later!"
Then he hung up.
