Jinxed
Chapter 10: Another Six Months Later
The 17 year old Dino kneeled in front of Minerva's grave once again. "It's a year and around 3 months since we first become friends eh?" There was silence besides the cold wind blowing the leaves past him. "You just turned 16 a week before you died….so you never really got to experience much as a 16 year old…
"You never learnt to drive…even though the day you told us about it was the day that bastard showed up and….." Dino sighed and fought back the tears.
"What if you knew you were going to die? What would you say?
"You would say something like, 'don't cry', 'just move on' or maybe even 'please don't forget me'…How could I forget?"
There was more silence….
"What would you say to me? Right here, right now? Say something about me? Well….in about an hour I'm gonna be at a meeting with all the famiglias that are allied with the Vongola. Even though I'm still just a candidate, Reborn said it would be good experience…"
He heard Romario and Reborn call his name from the gate. Dino stood up and began walking towards the gate of the cemetery, taking one look back at his friend before he left.
…
"We'll go over this one more time," Marmon began. "Once the allied families leave the Vongola HQ and we're sure that they won't hear the attack, we begin our attack. Lussuria, Levi, Bel, Squalo and I will split up and go towards these five locations," Marmon drew lines connected the west side to other 5 spots. "In the meanwhile, Xanxus-sama will go and look for the 9th and lure him down to the basement. There the 9th and Xanxus-sama will fight and there the 9th shall be killed. Got it?" Marmon looked at everyone and they nodded. "We weren't able to exactly calculate where Tyr would be, but there's no doubt he'd be heading towards where the Scellerato are hiding. Whoever runs into Tyr is the one who fights him."
"How strong is Tyr though? I've never seen him fight before," Bel asked.
"Tyr is the strongest out of all of us for sure," Marmon nodded. "However, if at least two of us gang up on him, it'll be enough to take him down. Additionally, we've trained and prepared for this for six months' worth of experience."
Ottabio leaned against the large door frowning through his round black rimmed glasses. Are they really going to go for a coup d'etat? he thought. He straightened up and calmly walked away from the meeting room, I have to tell the 9th. Xanxus can't get away with this.
"All of you wait here," Morte ordered his men as Tyr walked over to the Scellerato. Morte looked at Tyr, "Long time no see, Tyr."
"Nice to see you again, Morte." Tyr greeted him and handed over a small black ear piece.
Morte took it, "So I can just stay here?" he examined the ear piece with his neon blue eyes.
"Yep. After the meeting I'll meet you here in case you missed anything."
"Don't worry; I'm not stupid unlike the Cavallone Famiglia's only candidate. By the way, is he going to be there?"
Tyr nodded, "You never know how he'll turn out. He could become allies with the Scellerato in the future."
Morte chuckled, "That won't ever be happening, considering last year I shot his two friends and then killed one of them a couple of weeks later."
"Ah I see. Well, don't go anywhere while I'm gone," Tyr turned around and began to walk away.
"Don't worry. I can protect myself," Morte smirked.
"You're gonna have to go in yourself," Reborn said from inside the car as Dino stepped out.
"Huh? Why aren't you coming?" Dino asked.
"That meeting's only for the bosses plus you. But you don't have to worry about anything, we're all allies."
"O….ok."
Ottabio stood in front of the 9th's desk in his office. Timeteo looked at him concernly, "What's wrong Ottabio? You seem troubled…"
"It's Varia…they planned a coup d'etat…"
Timeteo kept calm, "How do you know?"
"I overheard them talking about it. They're probably on their way here right now…so that's why…you need to get to a safe place!"
He nodded and then stood up from his desk, "Tell everyone else in the HQ as well. Make sure everyone keeps calm." Ottabio nodded.
The meeting was coming to a close as Dino sat in his chair silently sleeping with his hair in front of his eyes. Timeteo nodded at all the ally families' bosses, "I hope you all have a safe trip home." The bosses stood up and all left the room. Leaving Dino and Timeteo in the meeting room. Timeteo looked at Dino snoozing away and sighed. He stood up from his chair and walked all the way over to where Dino sat. He softly whacked the back of Dino's head and his forehead hit the table.
"Ow….WAIT A SECOND PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" Dino spun around in his chair to see Timeteo standing behind him. He sighed with relief, "Sorry I fell asleep…."
"It's fine," Timeteo said. "It's quite hard to expect a 17 year old to sit through and focus on a meeting where only adults attend."
Dino blinked and then let out a small laugh.
Marmon and the others ran up to the far side of the base right next to the forest. "It's time," he said. Everyone readied themselves while Xanxus walked off in another direction.
There was a moment of anxiety as Marmon ordered, "ATTACK!"
There was a loud explosion.
