Author's Note: Second chapter~ I seriously hope Reborn isn't OOC. I'm not exactly sure how long this fic should go on, I'm still planning it though. Thank you jrlrock, Dremagon, VampireYumi, and sweet-and-simple for reviewing c:
Mystery Girl: Chapter 2
He trailed behind the cow's car, making sure that he was at least two cars behind. The silver camry—which he considered "cheap"—veered into the next lane in attempt to follow the white car ahead of him.
Lambo was a great driver.
And apparently, Reborn was not, as he leaves tire marks on the ground behind him.
The number one hitman sighed.
Where was this airport anyway?
It turned out that the cow had gotten lost. Several times.
He watched as the cow stumbles out of his car to ask the mother of the two boys in front of her. Recognition lighting up her face, she points to the west—where they had just come from.
And after another hour of going the opposite direction, the east, the stupid cow finally realizes he was going to wrong way. Again.
The destination was Namimori International Airport, which was usually just a ten minute drive from the Vongola base.
Reborn shakes he head.
What a stupid cow.
Lambo checked his watch, realizing that it was 1:27. One hour and twenty seven minutes late. His expression turns into a worried one.
Reborn then follows Lambo into the airport, staying hidden.
The cow walks up to a flight attendant, asking if the 12:00 flight to Namimori had come in yet. The woman looks at him weirdly and replies that it had arrived a long time ago.
A girly voice resembling the one on the phone questions, "Lambo?"
The cow turns around, his expression brightening. "I thought you'd already left. I'm so sorry that I'm late!"
She laughs. "I knew you'd be late—as always." Her Japanese had a noticeable accent, most likely Italian, he noted.
The two embrace and he finally lifts his head to examine the girl.
The first thing he noticed was her height. She was short, only reaching up to the cow's shoulders. Her long dark hair flowed down her back. She had a sweet face, yet something was eerily familiar about her eyes, though he barely looked over them as he assessed the girl. She looked to be about two years younger than the cow, who was eighteen years old.
Suddenly, she whipped her head around to his direction. He crouched down, hiding himself from her even though she had probably seen him already.
As he peeked back up at her, the girl whispered into the cow's ear, giggling madly.
The cow frowns, putting a protective arm around her and mumbling something quietly.
Then he starts walking towards Reborn, a determined expression on his face. Reborn, who was still concentrated on the girl, moved only when he had to.
Why wasn't anything happening? Weren't they going to do other things than just embrace?
Strangely, he did not have an urge to strangle her, as he did in his dream. Why was this? Why was this so different? Wasn't that what he came here to do?
And yet there was this vibe coming off her that said "fragile," the same way he thought of Luce, back when she was alive.
Yes, that was it. It seemed like she was a different version of his beloved Luce.
The two of them were close to him now, at least in hearing range.
"Are you sure someone was staring at you?"
A giggle. "Yeah! He was really grown up too—mysterious and sexy."
Reborn stays quiet as he listens in on their conversation.
"What the—"
The girl changes the subject, "—So, show me around?"
The cow grunts.
"Let's go to a cafe. I want to hear all about this 'Reborn' guy. And I'm driving—you'll only get us lost."
A sigh follows as the cow mumbles under his breath, "Yare, yare."
I want to hear all about this 'Reborn' guy.
What? Had he heard them right?
OoOoO
The two stopped at the cafe that Kyoko and Haru often went to, a quaint little place with many windows along the sides showing the variety of cakes, chocolate, and snacks they sold. The girl, who is still unnamed, dragged the careless cow into the cafe, pausing to look at the adorable decorations around the place. They sit at a table in the corner, not wanting to be noticed.
Meanwhile, Reborn opens up his trunk, thankful that he had gotten a car that was big enough to hold all of his cosplays. His eyes sparkle as he rummages through his baggage, mumbling to himself that he should have cleaned it out. Finally, he reaches for the outfit he wanted—a short blue maid outfit decorated with white frills and a wig. Quickly, he undresses in the car, ensuring that he was quick, yet making sure that no one was peeking.
A man around twenty five years old passes the car, noticing the hitman in his boxers. Smirking, he lays back on the wall, watching the man undress and put on the maid outfit.
"Are you that desperate, kora?"
Reborn looks up and curses, how did he not notice him?
The twenty five year old looks over at the Arcobaleno's outfit.
"Fuck off, Colonello."
He snickers, "No way, kora. I gotta see this with my own eyes." The COMBUSIN backs away, comically hiding behind a bush. "Go on, Lambo and that chick are waiting for someone to order for them, y'know."
With a huff, Reborn tries ignoring the rain attribute Arcobaleno. Going through the cafe in the back door, he walks to the cow's table.
In a voice resembling a girl's, he asks, "How may I help you?"
Both order quickly, eager to get along to their conversation.
As Reborn retreats, he smirks as he eyed the little device pinned on the cow's shirt.
Mission complete.
Reborn leaves the cafe, perfectly satisfied.
"Hm, I thought you were going to do something more...drastic, kora," Colonello comments as he walks besides Reborn.
The hitman smirks, holding up a device in his hand and pushing a button.
"Lambo! This is delicious!"
A laugh comes through the device, "Yeah."
Colonello's laugh echoes through the streets as he figured out what was going on.
"Nice one, Reborn. We can hear everything they're saying."
Author's Note: Honestly, this chapter was planned out a different way, then I remembered about Reborn's cosplays and it completely changed! I hadn't even planned for Colonello to come in xD.
And yes, I haven't named the "Mystery Girl" yet, so do you guys have any ideas? I'm thinking of a name similar to Lambo's name, but it's not very good.
Oops, I almost gave everything away .
Anyways, thank you for reading and please review!
