Chapter 9: Two Separate Paths

"Where's Tyr?" Xanxus asked.

"He's on another mission," Marmon said, "he won't be back until the day after tomorrow. At least we get some time to ourselves."

Squalo looked around at the other officers, "So is it the first time you guys are hearing about this mission as well?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I'll just explain the whole thing again," Xanxus said. "I've only told Squalo this, but not only do I plan on becoming boss of Varia, but now I'm going for the position of 10th Vongola Boss as well, since I'm a legitimate candidate. So that means that I have to kill the Tyr, my brothers and of course the 9th himself. But even if we don't kill the 9th it doesn't matter because he's on the brink of retiring anyway." Xanxus was determined to achieve his goal. But the thing was, he wasn't actually the 9th's real son. The image of the diary, the hand written words in black ink and the words on the page….

I am going to meet a woman who claims to have given birth to my son. It is impossible for a woman I've never met before to give birth to my child. However, her situation was far too sad for me to reject her claim. I could not cloud the eyes of that boy, who believed his mother's words.

"So when exactly do we overthrow the Vongola?" Bel, the young blonde prince asked.

"In 6 months," Levi answered.

"So what happens until then?"

Marmon looked at Bel, "Nothing happens. I predicted that the day we go take down the Vongola is when Tyr meets up with the bosses of Varia's allies. But the Scellerato would be hiding somewhere deep within the headquarters eaves dropping because the Vongola and Scellerato are enemies, but they are allied with Varia." Marmon then looked at Squalo, "I hear that you've joined to take revenge on the Scellerato for your friend."

Squalo nodded, "The Cavallone would be at the meeting as well. But considering how useless the heir is, he won't become boss in the next six months. So they wouldn't be there when the allies gather together."

"We're trusting you on that one, Squalo," Marmon said, "If you're wrong and the Cavallone do end up going, I'm charging you half of your paycheque for your first mission."

Squalo's eye twitched.


"AAAHHH!" Dino aimlessly waved around the brown whip at the bear. And by aimlessly I mean that the bear was just standing in front of Dino with a poker face almost unsure whether or not the young boy was actually failing at hitting him.

Reborn lay on his stomach under the bushes, observing his training through binoculars. He watched Dino wave the whip around like an idiot while panicking and screaming at the same time. His round little soft hands put down the binoculars as Reborn sighed. "That Useless Dino…."

Dino opened the wooden door to his bedroom. As soon as he opened it, letting go of the golden handle, he collapsed face first on the green carpet. Reborn sighed after walking over him into his room. He kneeled down in front of Dino and studied him carefully. After letting out another sigh he bent his leg back and kicked Dino straight out of his bedroom. "OW!" Dino exclaimed as he was sent flying towards the wooden wall in the corridor.

"It took you long enough to knock out that bear…jeez. 1 hour and 12 mintutes…."

Dino sat up with a jolt, "I still can't control a whip properly! And then you just go and suddenly make me fight a bear! It'll only be a matter of time until Squalo…."

Reborn frowned, "Squalo what?"

He hesitated before finishing, "Until Squalo kills someone to get revenge….and I wouldn't be able to do anything…."

That was Dino's biggest fear.

He wanted to help Squalo, he wanted to avenge Minerva. She was his friend too. Not just Squalo's. If they were gonna take revenge, they were gonna take revenge together. That's what Dino knew friends were for.

As for Squalo's biggest fear, it would probably be not being able to take that revenge before Dino. He didn't need Dino's help. He would take revenge, he would make sure of it.
