Iemetsu watches as the small girl is walked into Nono's office. Flanked by Lussuria and Bel.
Mammon had left.
She hadn't changed much since he saw her six months ago.
The girl was 12 and a half and was super skinny -she did live on the streets- he could see her collar bone were it peaked out of her shirt. She was wearing a large black jacket. It was way too large on her and went to her knees. A loose black, dirty and torn shirt. Loose black pants tucked into black -actually well kept looking just a little scruffed- combat boots.
The girls' dirty -and in some places bloody- sky blue hair had escaped its braid in almost all of the lower half -he could see she had inherited Lissa's loose waves- and some was sticking to her sweaty, dirty, scratched and briused -though it was hard to tell the dirt from bruises in some places- bloody face.
Her eyes -a dark silver blue color- scan the room, eyes darkening as she spots Iemetsu.
He swallows.
How did he not see it before?
The girl looks so much like her mother, even walks like her.
Which is amazing considering if Lissa -the girls mother- was telling the truth, she hadn't ever met her mother.
But she had the flames of her father.
"I'm here, so what do you want?" The girl asks, voice icy but her face blank.
She's limping, dragging her foot slightly. But no sign of pain crosses her face.
The girl however does look like she wants to throw up.
An effect of the Flame Represser Bracelet no doubt.
"Are you alright, my dear?" Nono asks leaning forward in his seat in concern.
"I'd be better if you let me go home."
"I was under the impression that you lived on the streets." Nono says carefully, eyes studying the child.
"Exactly, home."
"Thats not the way a child should live-" Nono begins.
"And yet we do. Everyday. Yet none of them get the...privelige of meeting you."
The girl looks bored and her voice makes it clear she doesn't think its a privlage.
"You don't have to live like that anymore."
"I don't want your pity."
"Family takes care of their own." Iemetsu says.
"I'm not your family."
"But you are."
"Am not."
"You are, Vongola by blood." You can see the confusion cross the kids face for a split second before becoming blank again.
"I am nobodies blood."
"But you are. You are a woman named Lissa's blood-"
Blue silver eyes narrow. "How do you know this? What proof do you have?"
"Your blood. Last time I saw you, you got cut. The blood on that knife was enough for a DNA test. It semi-matched three people in Vongolas data bases."
The uncomprehension on the girls face reminds Iemetsu that the kid has had little to no schooling. She probably didn't know what DNA was.
"What I mean is-"
"You were able to find whose blood I am with mine."
Iemetsu blinks then nods. "Yes."
"I don't really care if this Lissa is my blood."
"You might want to hear who your father is."
Cold eyes lock with his. "Like I said: I don't care about blood."
"You will."
"Try me."
"I'm your father."
Silver blue eyes widen, then confusion sets in. "Heard you were married, with a kid."
"I am and I do."
"So thats what this is?" Her voice is low and cold. Sharp. "You found out you had a bastard child and decided you needed to destroy the evidence of what you did."
"Of course not!" Iemetsu exclaims. "I just want for my daughter to be safe!"
"I want nothing to do with you."
"But I'm your fath-"
"I don't care."
"I'm you blood."
"Blood doesn't mean anything. I've seen Moms and Dads sell their children to a fate worse then death. So do not pretend that blood means a damn thing."
"I'm not-We're not like them."
"I really could give less of a shit on wether or not you are." Anger is the dominating feeling on the girls face.
"Then what do you care about?" Nono asks softly.
"Like I said, I wanna leave."
"We can't allow that." Iemetsu inturrupts.
"I don't live by your rules."
"You do now."
"No I don't."
"You do. I'm you Father and as such I have rights over you."
"I'm a human, as such I have rights to live my life." She says.
"You won't even make it to twenty if you continue to live on the streets.
"I'd rather die free then live trapped in a cage." The girls back is straight and both men see the flames tinting her eyes, even with the bracelet.
But they are more red then orange.
That can't be right.
No Storm Flames were sensed in her blood.
"You wouldn't be in a cage, it would be a home." Nono says softley.
"I have a home."
"Thats not a home thats a street."
"I choose my life, no one else."
"You will be staying here."
For the first time something other then anger or confusion shows on the childs face.
A cold confident smirk. Oh, now Iemetsu can see himself in the child. Just a little.
"If you think so."
I hope yall have a great night and thanks for reading!
