Hermione cursed under her breath, keeping her eyes on the school gates in front of her. How can she be so stupid as to forget to do the alarm clock! She just hopes that Hibari wasn't waiting for them and if he was... she didn't want to even finish that sentence. Her eyes brighten when she saw that she was near the school gate and there was no Hibari, she wasn't going to get a detention or worse fight the boy.
Her eyes narrowed when she saw a metal tonfa coming her way. Already one week and she was getting into a fight with the Prefect. She duck the first tonfa and use her right hand to block the other one. She smirked at the prefect and gave him a hard kick on the stomach. He blocked her attack with his other tonfa. They glared at each other but, didn't continue with the fight.
"Why are you late, Herbivore?" He asked coldly, his eyes narrowed. "You are not going to skip school when it hasn't even started!"
She was taken back at the amount of words he was saying. That must be the first time, she heard him say more than one sentence.
"I am late because I had forgotten to set my alarm clock..." She paused and quickly added. "I am not a Herbivore."
Hermione could feel the strain of her hands, it was really becoming a pain to block the boy's tonfa for more than ten minutes. Then again, she hadn't had a good fight since she had went to Hogwarts.
"And why would I skip school?" Hermione asked, looking at him in curiosity. "I don't want to miss any of my lessons."
She suddenly notice that Hibari's eyes were steel blue not grey as she had thought them to be. She shook her head at that realisation and concentrated on the he wanted a fight then she would give him a fight.
Hermione dodged his tonfa attack and punched him on the face. The prefect stagger but didn't fell down to her disappointment, his eyes gleam and she knew that this battle wasn't over, if anything this battle had just started.
"What it is your name?" Hibari asked, well it sounded more like demanded.
"Now, now, you called me Herbivore..." she mocked him and continued. "How do I know that you will call me by my given name."
The boy growled at her disobedience before lunging at her. She wasn't able to dodge his attack. She winced at the impact of the tonfa on her stomach but, she didn't dare cry out instead, she gave him a roundhouse kick on the stomach, which he blocked with his tonfa. He smirked at her and use his other tonfa to attack her but she blocked it with her left hand.
"And to answer your question about my name..." Hermione paused and dodge his attack. "My name is Hermione Granger."
He ran forward to attack her. She step to the right and punched him in the back. Why must she keep fighting with him? She was already late for her first lesson. She dodge his next attack and took her bag and ran to her class.
"See you later, Hibari-san, sorry I can't finish the fight but..." She paused and gave him a fake frown. "I have to get to class."
Hibari watched as the brown haired girl ran. She was different from the other herbivore that was certain, for one, she was able to keep up with his attacks and land blows on him. The girl was honest and he could actually believed her excuse about not setting the alarm clock since, she didn't try to run away or looked scared after seeing him if anything, she fought back without hesitation.
The girl's fighting skills was good and from the way she had dodge his attacks that told him that she had experience of fighting. Through, it pissed him off to see that the girl was able to land a hit against him but, it made fighting her more fun. No one had been able to do that before and she is the first person to do that. She would be very helpful in keeping order in Namimori.
Through for some reason, he had doubts that she would even join and her mockery of him really make him angry but, she would be very useful in keeping order in Namimori. But, first he needed to get more information about the girl.
"Granger-san, why are you late and why do you look like you have been in a fight!" Kimura yelled.
Hermione counted till ten in her mind and reminded herself that it will not be a good idea to punch the teacher even if it was tempting but, she really wanted to punch the man. He gave her a stern look and waited for her response.
"I met Hibari-san and I think sensei that you can guess what happened from there. " Hermione said, giving him a fake smile.
The man paled at her admission while the other students whispered to each other about the admission.
"I s-see..."
He didn't say anything after that instead he told her to go to her seat. She nodded and walked to her seat as slowly as she could. It was slightly painful for her to walk but, she was able to ignore the pain. She looked at her classmates, who were looking at her in fear which made her feel annoyed. Just because she had gotten into a fight with Hibari, they look at her in fear. The only person that wasn't looking at her in fear was Tsuna and she was grateful for that.
She took her seat and looked at the maths equation that Kimura was currently explaining to them. Great, it was a maths equation that her parents had taught her a few years ago after she had complained that her lessons were too easy. She winced at that memory, she needed to distract herself from thinking of her parents.
"So, what did I miss, Tsuna?" Hermione asked.
Her friend looked at her in concern and she wonder if her friend realise that she was in pain but, she shook that thought away. She had always been good at disguising her pain, not even her own parents would have notice that she was in pain until she told them.
He hesitated and quietly said. "I a-am g-going t-to play in the volleyball tournament."
Hermione raised her eyebrows at her friend. She glance around to see if anyone were watching them but found that no one was looking at them.
"Tsuna, you do know that you suck at sports right?" she asked, remembering the few P.E lessons that she had seen and she could safely say that her friend sucks at sport.
He blushed at her words and admitted "Y-yes but, Itou-san was really en-enthusiastic about m-me playing."
The young girl frowned at her friend's words. Her friend must have found it really hard to say no if Itou was really enthusiastic for him to play but, she found it odd since none of the boys would pick Tsuna for P.E so, why now? That wasn't the main issue for her, the main issue is whether or not her friend knew the rules of the game.
"Tsuna, do you know how to play volleyball?" Hermione asked. She frowned when she saw that the answer that their -sensei had put was wrong.
"N-no, d-do you kn-know how to play, Hermione?" Tsuna asked, giving her a hopeful look.
The brown haired girl nodded and answered absent-mindedly. "Not really... I know the rules of the game, my mother used to go on and on about the game when I was younger."
Tsuna's eyes widen at that piece of information. Hermione had never told him anything about her parents except for the fact that they are dentist and that they were from England but that was about it. Anything else, his friend would keep a close-lip about.
"Kimura-sensei, question five is wrong..." Hermione called out, she couldn't stand looking at the answer any longer. She didn't want her classmates to learn the wrong thing.
Their sensei glare at her for interrupting the lesson but, she didn't flinch.
"Now, Granger-san, I can tell you that question five's answer is correct." Kimura reassured the girl through gritted teeth.
Hermione shook her head. "It isn't because you see..." she stood up and grabbed the marker pen from the teacher. She circled his answer and quickly did her own calculation in the board. "You were suppose to square root 5 square, not the opposite." he nodded at her explanation and looked at the whiteboard before cursing under his breath.
"Sorry, students but Granger-san here is correct..." Kimura said reluctantly, nodding at Hermione, who went back to her seat. "You were suppose to square root it instead of squaring it."
The young witch watch as her other classmates erased their answer and did as the teacher said. She also notice the despair look on her friend's face as they listened to Kimura's explanation about what he did wrong. She sighed, apparently her job at tutoring people was not over, she still need to teach Tsuna about their math lessons.
"H-Hermione, c-can you teach me how to play volleyball?" Tsuna asked.
The brown haired girl wrinkled her nose at her friend's request before admitting. "I don't know how to play but, I do know the rules and regulations of the game so I can help you with that."
Tsuna smiled nervously and said. "T-thank you."
The young witch couldn't help but smile sadly at her friend's stutter and wonder when her friend would be comfortable to talk to her without stuttering. No time soon that was sure but, she doesn't mind waiting. The boy was a good person and she wished that the other students in their class will notice.
It was in that moment the front door opened. Everyone was surprised to see a male student with a unique-or if you ask her strange-haircut. The man was too old to be in middle-school and the uniform that he wore was different from theirs. She would have assumed that the boy was not from Namimori Middle School if it wasn't for the armband that said prefect and the fact that she knew that Hibari doesn't like trespassers in their school.
"I would like to see Hermione Granger, please." The man said.
Everyone turned their attention to her but, she ignored their stares and furrowed her eyebrows. What did she...Oh yes, she was late for school and Hibari must want to tell her when her detention is.
"It is only the second week that she had been here and she is called by the Disciplinary Committee."
"What did she do?"
"She fought Hibari-san and was able to leave unscathed." One of her classmates answered.
Hermione wanted to correct her classmate and tell them that he had hit her in the stomach but, thought against it. Telling them that she was beaten up by the prefect would be telling him that he hurt her and she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing that.
She sighed, wincing at the pain in her stomach as she stood up. When she goes home, she would need to go and make herself a potion that can heal her wound since, she won't be able to go to school if she ignores it.
Tsuna noticed it and gave her a concern look. He opened his mouth to tell her that she was in pain and that she shouldn't go but the look in her eyes told him that she would still go.
The regent-haircut guy nodded and calmly said. "Follow me please. The Disciplinary Committee President wants to see you."
Everyone looked at her in surprise and started to whisper but, she didn't care what they say about her. She gave him a hard look ,which caused the man to wince at her, before sighing. The man was in the committee and Hibari had called her if she doesn't go then he would forced her and she was afraid that she won't be strong enough to handle anymore of his attacks.
She walked towards the door, once again ignoring her teacher and classmates stares. The man nodded and hesitate before gesturing at her to follow him. Hermione walked behind him, closing the class door but not before giving a small wave to everyone. She wonder why Hibari would call her? She had broken the school rule but that doesn't mean he had to call her from class. Then again, she does not know what goes through his mind.
She sighed and continued to walk behind the tall boy, knowing that she had a long day ahead of herself.
Hibari leaned back on his chair leisurely, a paper on his right hand. The paper contain basic knowledge about the girl but, he had not gotten any information from his other sources.
According to the official data that he has on his hand, her grades were above average including Math and Science. However she was slightly above average in Physical Education. Apparently, in the girl's old school she had never broke the rules or disobeyed the teacher. All the teachers in her old school seemed to love her except for her science teacher but he didn't care. They say that she was probably one of the best students that they have ever taught and had always done her work on time and with perfection. They also say that she wouldn't hurt a fly.
Hibari couldn't help but find that last comment amusing. The girl had one hell of a punch even he couldn't say that punch didn't hurt and it wasn't everyday that he sees a girl that was willing to fight him or in her case, twice. She also seem to find some way to entertain him especially with her come backs.
The president of Disciplinary Committee put down the paper on the table and folded his arm. Yet, there was something odd about the girl that he couldn't place his hand on it. She wasn't afraid of him that was odd but he like that about her but, it was something else.
The sounds of footsteps were getting closer to his office. No one dares walk near his office during class time and he knew that it was Kusakabe bringing his visitor.
"Hey," Hibari said, smirking at the angry look on the Herbivore's face. It was amusing to see that the girl was trying her best to control her temper and not yell at him for bringing her out of her class.
"Hibari-san, what is happening?" Kusakabe asked, staring nervously at the angry girl beside really wants to get away from the room to be more exact from the angry girl beside him.
"Yes, mind telling me why you called me out of my class, Head Prefect-san." Hermione said through gritted teeth.
He didn't answer their question instead he walked towards her, his gaze solely on her. She was truly different that much he can be certain, the girl didn't flinch at his gaze instead she tapped her feet impatiently, waiting for him to response to her question.
Hermione couldn't help but feel weary when Hibari took out his tonfa. She went into a battle stance and waited for him to attack, which if she was guessing correctly was soon. She was right. After two minutes of intense glaring, the head prefect attacked her.
She dodge his attack and punched him in the stomach but, he blocked her attack with his other tonfa. He aim his other tonfa to her neck which she easily blocked with her hand. She held onto it tightly and did a swift sidekick to his head. He blocked it with ease but that was the plan, she clench her hand into a fist and punched him in the face.
He stagger but didn't fall down. In the corner of her eye, she could see that their fight was surprising the tall boy. She gave him an apologetic look, causing him to look at her in surprise. She turned her attention to the black-haired boy.
"Wow." Hibari said.
For some strange reason, she blushed at his words. Nobody had ever complimented her on her fighting skills except for her father, who had told her that she needed to learn self-defence. Remembering her father made her snap out of her thoughts about the prefect, her father would be disappointed in her if he knew that she had gotten into a fight.
She blocked his attack and was taken back when he grabbed her arm. He threw her into the disciplinary committee room with such force that she was surprise at herself for not crying out. She was surprised to see that she landed on the couch.
She narrowed her eyes and glared at the head prefect while the tall man was looking at her then Hibari with complete shock and confusion. She can safely guess that the older teen never does this which, makes her wonder why he was doing this to her.
"Close the door, Kusakabe Tstsuya." Hibari commanded, his eyes never leaving her.
The tall young man did as he was told, watching in bewilderment as Hibari walked towards the pissed girl. He was surprised to see that the girl blocked both of Hibari's tonfas with her hands.
"Now, are you going to tell me why the hell you called me out of class!" Hermione yelled.
He looked at her calmly and said. "Granger Hermione, you will be joining the Disciplinary Committee."
Hermione's eyes twitch at his words and she couldn't help but retort. "And, what makes you think that I will join your little group."
"This is an order not a request." He pressed the tonfas in her hand, harder.
The brown eyed girl glared at him and quietly said. "I take orders from no one, got that!"
The older boy lips twitch at her words as if he found it amusing. She glance at Kusakabe, who was befuddled at her words as if he had never seen anyone said no to the prefect in front of him. Well, she was different, she didn't like being bossed around.
"You broke the rules, today, did you not?" Hibari asked, reminding her that she late today.
Hermione growled and said. "As I said before, I did not mean to to be late."
He smirked at her and calmly said. "You will be working as the Disciplinary Committee's secretary. This is your punishment for being late."
The brown eyed girl knew that she couldn't argue against the prefect since this was her punishment for being late for school. It wasn't fair and if she could find a good argument against him for this unfairness this would be a different case but, she can't think of any.
She watch in anger as the Disciplinary Committee president handed her an armband with the kanji of Discipline written on them. She snatch it from his hand and slid it on her shirt. This was going to be hell, Hermione thought to herself as she left the room.
Tsuna couldn't help but feel scared of Hermione. You can't blame him since his friend looked like she was going to murder someone and she wouldn't tell him about what the Disciplinary Committee president wanted from her. All he knew was that his friend was now a part of them and judging from her angry face, she wasn't happy about that.
"H-Hermione, do you want to ta-talk to me about what happened with Hibari-san?" Tsuna asked.
The young witch pursed her lips before sighing. She shook her head at her friend, she didn't want to tell him that she got into a fight with him and that the president had basically threatened her to join the Disciplinary Committee because she was late. If, she could find blackmail on the guy then she can threatened him to letting her not join the committee.
"It is nothing you need to worry about." Hermione said.
Tsuna nodded before glancing at the whiteboard in front of them. His friend had taken him to one of the abandon classrooms to teach him, the rules of volleyball. He hoped that he would be able to understand everything but, he doubt it. Still, he could hope that it will make sense.
"Alright the first thing you should know Tsuna is that each side must have 4 to 6 players." Hermione began, drawing figures onto the whiteboard to make it even more clearer for him to understand.
Tsuna nodded, telling her that he understand. He wondered why their team needed six players if each side must have four to six? He frowned and made a mental note to ask the team captain on why he picked him if they already had enough players for the volleyball tournament.
His friend gave him a small smile, before pointing to one of the sides. "Now, you should know that each side can only hit the ball 3 times..." she then pointed to one of figures. "However, you should know that the players, which in this case is you, cannot touch the ball twice in a row."
He nodded and made a mental note not to touch the ball twice but, if Reborn shoot him in the head with the dying bullet, he is sure that he would forget that but, he can hope.
Hermione then pointed at the court lines and said. "If you or any of the other players' ball fall outside of the court lines then it will be considered out of bounds. It will only be considered in bounds if the balls land directly on the lines."
Tsuna nodded and thought to himself that the girl explain to him better than any of the teachers had. She made it simple and used diagrams to help him understand, she was also patient unlike the others that had tired to teach him.
She pointed to one of the figures and said. "Now, Tsuna you must remember that players cannot block serves and that the team must rotate clockwise each time they serve."
He nodded and hesitantly asked. "H-how long is the game?"
Hermione frowned before answering. "Usually, the game is played to 25 points, and the winning team must win by 2 points but, this isn't the case for this game so I won't know."
He nodded and was happy to see that she didn't insult him when he asked the question.
Hermione then erased the board and quickly draw a person serving the ball. "Now I am going to talk to you about serving the ball." she said as she finished drawing the figure. The thing looked remarkably like him.
"Now, the first thing you must remember is that..." She pointed to the figure's body and continued. "If you are a server, your entire body must stay behind the boundary line while serving. Following me Tsuna?"
He nodded, telling her that he understood. She took a deep breath before pointing to the ball that the figure was serving. "The ball must be clearly visible to the opposing team before serving, Tsuna, remember that. There is only two ways to serve the ball, it is either overhand or underhand..." She gave Tsuna analysing look and continued. "For your case since you are a beginner, I would recommend underhand."
He nodded and muttered. "Underhand, got it."
"It is okay for the ball to gaze on top of the net during a serve but that is only if the ball drops to the side of the opposing team." Hermione explained, drawing two small figures below the big one. She drew a big X on the ball that was on his side and a tick on the one that went to the opposing side. It was starting to make sense to him.
"Serves must be returned by bumping..." His friend started to draw one figure that was spiking the ball and one that is setting the ball. "As you can see, Tsuna, I had drawn two figures, one of them spiking the ball, the other is setting the ball, now I don't want you to do that."
He furrowed his eyebrows and asked. "Why?"
Hermione smiled and explained. "Serves can only be returned by bumping, so spiking the ball and setting the ball is a big no-no."
He nodded and asked. "So, how is the first serve of the game is determined?"
The young witch smiled and answered. "Simple, really, the first serve of the game will be determined by a volley. Each game after that will be served by the loser of the previous game."
Hermione erased the board and started to draw 6 figures in the board. He notice that the title was violation and realise that his friend was now going to teach him the violations of the game.
"Now I am going to talk about violations and I will keep it as short as I can." Hermione stated.
He watch in fascination when his friend pointed at the figure that had failed to get the ball over the net. "As you probably can tell, this figure has failed to get the ball over the net but, what you didn't know that this is a serve and that this is a violation. The ball needs to get over the net when it is a serve." she explained, putting a huge cross at the figure.
She then pointed at the second figure and said. "You can't hit the ball illegally and by illegally, I mean throwing, carrying, palming, etc." She put a huge cross at that figure. "Do you understand."
He nodded and waited for her to continue. "Stepping on or over the boundary line while serving is obviously a violation and so is failure to serve in the correct team order." She crossed out the next two before pointing at the second last figure. "Touching the net with any part of the body during a game is also a violation."
He nodded and thought to himself that there were also many rules in this game. How can the girl remember all these rules? Then again, Hermione had to be one of the smartest people that he knew and was also good at making things sound simple.
"Last but certainly not least the last violation that you should remember is..." His friend smiled and pointed at the last figure. "That reaching over or under the net is a violation, the only time it is acceptable is when you are executing a follow-through motion."
Tsuna nodded and looked at his friend in gratefulness. "Thank you, Hermione for teaching me the rules of this game."
Hermione shrugged her shoulder and said. "It isn't a problem but, Tsuna..." she gave him a hard look and continued. "I want you to know that having fun is important, not winning, don't listen to them if they say that winning is important, having fun is even more important."
He nodded at her advice and stare at the clock. "I got to go change..." He said, getting out of the seat. "Thank you for teaching me." Tsuna said as he ran out of the door so that he can change into his P.E attire.
She had the strangest feeling that he was keeping a secret from her. Hermione shrugged her shoulders and thought to herself that her friend would tell her when he wants to, which she hope was soon.
She watch as the other students went to the gym. All of them were excited about the match, most of them wanted to see Tsuna's play. They whisper about how he beat the Kendo Captain and how this would be easy for him to win but, they were arrogant if you ask Hermione. Winning against a Kendo Captain is one thing, playing volleyball is entirely different thing.
She waited till the others had went to the gym before going outside. She scan the trees to find a spot that would allow her to watch the game and at the same time be in the shadows. The only tree that seemed to work was the one on the right side.
She sighed and climbed up the tree. She smiled in amusement when she saw the flags with Tsuna's names. Her eyes scan the rest of the gym, she snorted when she saw that the Disciplinary Committee president wasn't there but, she didn't blame him. It was too crowded if you ask her and she wouldn't be able to watch the game that was why she chose to climb the tree.
Hermione grinned when she saw Kyoko dragging Tsuna into the gym but, the grin faded when she saw the despair in her friend's eyes. This is strange, her friend seem alright this morning but now he seem to loose the will to play the game. She wonder, what happened to him. She will ask him tomorrow but for now, she needed to concentrate on the game.
She scan the rest of the gym and notice a figure on the corner. The boy was smoking to her disgust but what made her angry was the fact that he acted like he didn't want to be there. Still, who was the boy? She was sure that he doesn't go to the school. What made her even more curious was to why no one notice him, especially the other members of the Disciplinary Committee?
"Begin!" The referee shouted.
She watch as the other team serve. The serve was good and they didn't break any rules of the game, which she was glad. Hermione wince at the sight of the ball hitting Tsuna's stomach, that got to watch in concern as her friend fell down in pain. Her friend can do better, she knew that but he needed motivation but how can she motivate him?
The game continued and whenever the ball was given to Tsuna, it either landed on his stomach or he couldn't save it. His serving was bad and he didn't listen to her advice about using underhand, which made her angry but she knew her friend was panicking since so many people were counting on him.
"Why aren't you there with the others?" A voice asked, startling her.
Hermione turned her attention to the newcomer. She was surprise to see that it was a baby that was asking her this question. The baby wore a fedora hat and a suit, his hair reminded her of her mother, well the colour did anyways. His eyes were black too, the same shade of black that her mother's eyes were.
"Who are you little boy? And why are you here?" Hermione asked.
He smiled at her and for some strange reason, she felt cautious around him. "My name is Reborn, I am Tsuna's tutor, he is going to be the boss of the Vongola family."
She stiffen at the name Vongola. "Reborn, you say? Is that a name that you inherited from your father?" Hermione asked, wondering if he was a child of her Uncle.
The little baby shook his name and said. "No, Granger, my father didn't give me that name."
She narrowed her eyes at the use of her last name and suspiciously asked. "How do you know my last name?"
Reborn smirked at her and she had a feeling that she was going to get news that would change her life. "I knew your parents, in fact..." his eyes gleam as he said the next bit. "You may call me Uncle Reborn."
Hermione eyes widen at his words. She should deny the fact that her uncle was a baby but it made sense, her mother had written that her brother had changed appearance and it also made sense on why her mother had been so interested in her potions studies and why she had allowed her to buy her magical books that were beyond her level. Her mother wanted to find research for her brother's illness.
"So, how is my sister?" Reborn asked, looking interested to know about his sister's health.
Hermione gulped and answered angrily. "Mother and Father is dead, to be more precise they had been murdered."
He narrowed his eyes at her admission. "How long?" He demanded.
The young witch tried her best to hold back the tears and answered. "Two months ago. I don't know who killed them! All I know is that they had been murdered by someone in the Mafia and that they will be after me."
Reborn was lost at how to comfort the girl so he waited till the girl calm down before asking her."Why did you came here? You would have been safer in that boarding school of yours."
The young witch licked her lips and answered. "Mother and Father were planing to live here but..." he nodded, knowing that it will be hard for his niece to talk about his sister and her husband's murder. "She wanted me to come here, to look for you."
Reborn was taken back at his niece admission and asked. "Why me?"
Hermione gave him a sad smile smile and said. "Mom had written a letter to me about everything and she told me if I decide to come here, to look for you and tell you that Jean said I inherited it."
The baby frowned and looked at his niece up and down. "You are a witch, aren't you?"
She nodded and he sighed. It was going to happen sooner or later and he was happy to know that his sister's child had inherited magic but, what worries him is her education. With his niece being a witch, he would need to make sure that she has total control of her abilities and he didn't know a thing about magic. Then again, a friend of his does and she owe him a favour.
"Why did you leave your friends?" Reborn asked. Surely, his niece had a good reason to leave her friends in England to come see him.
Hermione frowned and started to explain. "Well, I wanted to protect them. Now that I know that Mom and Dad were a part of the Mafia, I knew that I wasn't safe and that my friends would be endanger because of the fact that they were friends with me and..."
She hesitated and finally said. "I want your help, I need to find out who killed them."
"Why? Why do you need to know who killed them?" Reborn asked, already guessing why his niece wanted to know.
She growled and answered. "I want to make them pay for killing Mom and Dad, I want to inflict pain on them."
He was taken back at her answer but, it was understandable that his niece was angry. In fact, he was pissed off that they had murdered his sister and left his niece all alone. However, he was worried about her.
"Your mother wouldn't want this for you." He pointed out, his eyes were now on his useless student as he said this.
Hermione nodded. "I know but..." she hesitate and continued. "It is hard you know, they murdered Mom and Dad in cold blood and ruined great-great-great-grandmother's portrait too."
Reborn frowned at the mention of his ancestor. "What did they do to it?"
She closed her eyes and said. "They used Mom's blood and wrote a message to me saying that I can run but they will always find me."
He nodded and changed the subject. "And where have you been living, Hermione?"
The young girl gave her uncle a sheepish smile and answered. "Well, Mom and Dad brought a house before their..." she paused and continued. "Their untimely deaths, so I live there."
He narrowed his eyes at her and firmly said. "You will live with me from now on, I will come by and help you pack."
She opened her mouth to protest but closed it when she saw the look on her Uncle's face. The man was truly her mother's brother, who else can make a glare that rivals her mother. Still, she didn't like the idea of living with him.
She had now fulfil one of her mother's wishes, now she was going to do research on who her mother's killers were and their reasons for killing her parents. Even if she had to stay up the whole night doing it because, no one kills her parents and gets away from it.
