Chapter 08 – Taka's 'Fake' Death

Taka and Giotto run to another place while Giotto's guardians disappeared back to where they were from originally.

'I am sorry I-Pin, but I have to leave now,' while Taka was running away with Giotto.

~ Fon's house ~

[Shishou?]

[What is it I-Pin?]

[I can see black smoke coming from nii-san's house.]

[Oh…] and Fon was immediately worried. [What...?!]

[I-Pin says that there is smoke coming from nii-san's house,] while I-Pin pointed to the direction of the smoke.

Fon quickly reacted. [Then let us go to Li's house to see what the situation is.]

[Okay shishou.]

They quickly got out of the house and run to the source of the black smoke.

~ KHR ~

Fon and I-Pin reached Li's house and they saw that the entire house was on fire with many burnt corpses were found all around the house.

Fon hissed. [This is…!]

[Nii-san...!] I-Pin cried while wanting to run into the house but Fon stopped her. [Nii-san… Nii-san…!] and she cried onto Fon's chest.

Fon comforted her. [They cannot possible have survived in this fire. I am sorry I-Pin, but we must leave now.]

[B-But…]

[We will find out who burned the house. And also find out who killed Li and Taka. But we must go now, we cannot let anyone else know we know who they are.]

I-Pin whispered. [Okay shishou.]

Fon carried I-Pin away from the burning house.

~ Vongola Famiglia HQ ~

Timoteo was having a meeting with his guardians for several hours discussing about their subordinates. When the meeting was over, his guardians started to leave.

But Brow walked to the window and noticed there was black smoke coming from the forest.

"Is that not smoke coming from the forest?" while Brow pointed towards the smoke.

"What are you talking about?" and Coyote looked to the direction where Brow was pointing. "Ah… there really is smoke coming from the forest."

Timoteo was alarmed that there is smoke coming from the forest. "What?! Schnitten! Go with some men and investigate the smoke! Confirm whether it is an enemy or not and report back to me immediately!"

"Okay, Nono!" and Brow left the room quickly to do as Timoteo ordered.

The other five remaining guardians wanted to follow too but Timoteo stopped them. "Stay here and wait for Schnitten to report back."

Coyote, Brow and Gamauche III sat back down on their chairs while Visconti and Bouche smirked and left the room.

~ Schnitten's Point Of View ~

I went into the forest with some men and found the source of the smoke. We saw the source of the burning and within it was full of burnt corpses

I also saw a baby examining the burnt corpses.

"There were many burnt corpses and were all burnt beyond recognize, it will be difficult to get anything out of all this."

I raised an eyebrow. "So, it is you. What are you doing here? Is your current mission not to train a boy to become the new boss of his own Famiglia?"

Reborn smirked. "I was just passing by. (Meaning: he was training a certain blond hair, and discovered the burnt house by change.)"

I nod. "Did you find anything that will give us a clue of what happened here?"

"As I said, the corpses were burnt beyond recognize and the house was burnt partly. But I found this lying on the floor not far from the body corpses," while Reborn gave a slightly burnt batch to me.

I took it and examined it. "This is…!"

"The Gilget Famiglia, it was a newly founded Famiglia just this year. It is said that the Gilget was a Famiglia that consists of many fighters. They killed the innocent, the mafia and even their own comrade just for their amusement."

"This was why boss sand 'The Silent Killer' to deal with them since you were still doing your mission. So, what happened here? And who did this?"

"I do not know yet."

"Alright, I will report this to boss first," and I turned to my men. "You guys go around and investigate everything!"

"Yes Sir!"

The men went to investigate the house while Reborn continued his investigation.

~ Schnitten talking to Timoteo on the phone ~

~ Normal Point of View ~

Schnitten phoned Timoteo and he immediately answered the phone.

"How was it? Is it an enemy…?"

"Calm down boss, I did not find anyone suspicious but I found Reborn. It seems he was around the area."

"Reborn is there too?"

"Yeah, I also found many burnt corpses around the source of the smoke."

"WHAT?!"

Suddenly, another man appeared before Schnitten. "Sir! Reborn-sama has called for you!"

"Okay, tell him I am coming."

"Yes Sir!" and said man went to tell Reborn what Schnitten said.

Timoteo was curious. "Why are there…?"

"I will report back to you when I return to HQ," and Schnitten closed his phone.

~ Inside the half burnt house ~

Schnitten went to where Reborn was standing. "What is it Reborn? Did you find something?"

Reborn pointed at something and Schnitten followed it. Below them on the floor lies a man who died from a gunshot to the head.

"This is the 'Silent Killer' or Li. I found him not burned at all by the burnt corpses."

Schnitten was shocked. "Is this really him?! We sent him on a mission to destroy the Gilget Famiglia, but…"

"Li may have been discovered. And as he escaped from the Famiglia, he came back to his house, full of fatal injuries. But I wonder, why did he return here even when he was so close to death?"

"This is his hide-out. He told us that he adopted a child and lived with him here."

Reborn raised an eyebrow. "Then, the child…?"

"He did not tell us about him in details, he only told us it was a boy. He did not even give us the boy's name or picture."

Reborn was surprised. "Was Nono not curious about it?"

"He was, but Li made a deal with us that he will work for us but in return to not investigate about the boy. But… why was not Li burned, unlike the rest?"

Reborn was already in his thinking mode but never showed it. 'Who burned the bodies, but didn't burn Li? Who killed Li? Who is the kid that Li adopted?' while Reborn was also a little bit sad that his greatest rival, 'The Silent Killer' have been killed.

"What about the kid…?"

"He may have been burned with the house or something…"

"I will go and report this to Nono then."

"Agreed, I will go back to tor-tutoring Dino after I finished investigating about this."

~ KHR ~

Schnitten, his men and Reborn continued their investigations. After they had finished, Reborn returned to his student but wrote a small report before leaving while Schnitten went back to Vongola HQ with his men.

Schnitten wrote another report and added Reborn's report into it. The things written on the report was horrifying.
