Target 09

Dream or Past?

"I don't have any idea but it seems that every people that I encountered they were always hating me to the core of their hearts, and wishing for my death. I believe I didn't do anything to me, so why? Why everyone is hated me to the point that they almost killing from beating.

When I realized that all people will and always like them I give up on believing that one day someone will like me and not hate me. I did many jobs for many Mafia Family, like killing, kidnapping and so on, and so forth. They are all greedy in comes of money and famed they didn't care if they stepping someone just for their satisfaction. I give up and just let them use me as a tool, except of one thing I'm sure you know I mean.

To this tainted world there are no such as hope, peace and happiness. Protectors? Hummp! They never exist here. Police? They are corrupted, cowards that wagging their tails at Mafia bastards. I'm angry at them but come to think of it I'm just same to them.

I become well known hired hitwoman at the Underworld in the name Alice the Reaper since most of my jobs are about killing.

Alice the Reaper kills the Jacks the Ripper in Europe.

Alice the Reaper kills the Pseudo Father of Palermo's Cathedral.

Alice the Reaper kills.

Alice the Reaper kidnaps.

Alice the Reaper.

Alice the Reaper.

My life has stained, all over.

One day, I accept a job from Denverro Family Boss. He wants me to kill the new seed boss of family the Vongola Primo. Greed~. Without any information only for his face and locations I execute my job which is I didn't know that will change my life completely.

I pretend to be a shoe shinier to get close to blonde haired Vongola boss, but on my shock he gave me such a bright and soothing smile, and he talk to me;

"Why are you doing these things?" I raised my left eyebrow.

"What do you mean sir?" I asked, he must be asking about my job (Shoe Shinier) and not my other job (Killer) he smile then sighed.

"I mean why you are letting yourself to be tainted by the other Famiglia, Alice the Reaper-san…" He whispered to me my title. I flinched, that is the first time that someone asks my reasoning, more than that, how he possibly know that I'm Alice the Reaper?

"I know that you are Alice the Reaper. And seeing your young face makes me wonder why are you staining your hands with filthy moneys of those corrupted Mafioso?"

I smirked; I never expect that there is still a person who can calls Mafioso like him as corrupted. He is indeed insulting himself, is he?

"Because this world is already tainted by the likes of you!" I said to him with piercing voice.

"Is that the reason why are you tainting yourself as well?" he asks with gentle smile of his.

"I…" I lost for words,

"If you want, you can join my family…"

"Eh?" my head shot up at him, then I realized something, he might need my ability as Alice the Reaper for killing some Mafioso like him or opposing him. I smirked thinking the positive reason "Seriously? You want me to join your family? For what? So you can order me every time to kill all those who opposing you?"

But then shocks get all over me when I saw him not flinch and instead he let out a soothing chuckle and warm smile. Is this the Vongola Primo?

"I cannot wash your stain hands but I can stop you from staining it…"

"Are you telling me that you will not going to use me like everyone?" Then I let out an irritated chuckle "Stop screwing around would' ya! You're in underworld and you expecting for unblood shed country? Family? You're not in fantasy world!"

"I know… and that's my reason for creating Vongola." Then he showed to me his Vongola ring "When you made up your mind and want to join my family and my so called fantasy, just come at my mansion and everyone will welcome you openly."

"Oi Giotto!" then we both turn where we saw a running pink haired guy, he have tattoo on his face. "Stop wondering already would you!"

"Sorry G." then he turn to me "Then let's meet again Young Lady…" then they both leave.

Young Lady? Don't screw with me VONGOLA PRIMO!

"This is…" Shira who is standing in the scene far away from Alice the Reaper, Vongola Primo and his Storm ring Guardian tried to think what is the scene that she just watch.

"This is your dream and my past…" Allice that standing beside her still wearing those Lolita blue clothes answered. "You going to see now my and Snow ring's past."

"And why?"

"So it's not confusing why Secondo till to Nono don't have Snow ring Guardian and only Decimo have it in the future."

"So… I going to see also why the TYL version of mine have the ring?"

"Almost, well just watch would' ya!"

Shira sighed, this girl is what? Ah yea right childish…

Since I didn't able to kill the Vongola Primo, the Denverro Boss sold me to Vendicare Prison. And the Vendicare has been trying to catch me in act so it didn't become a problem for Denverro Boss to sell me. They place me on a water tank and I don't know how long I had been there. One week? One Month? One Year? Two Years? I don't know and I don't care anymore.

"Why you are letting yourself to be tainted by the other Famiglia?"

'Why huh? I have now doubt to my answer to him…'

"You can join my family…"

'How could he just invite someone such as me into his family? No one has ever done it before.'

"I cannot wash your stain hands but I can stop you from staining it…"

'I wonder how he will stop me.'

"When you made up your mind and want to join my family and my so called fantasy, just come at my mansion and everyone will welcome you openly."

'Welcome huh? I doubted that…'

I spend my life inside of that tank, no one on those famiglia tries to free me, well I didn't expect anyway. I could feel that my hair already got long that I bet that it passes my height already. How I miss my scythe already, I just hope no one try to use it into their own convenience. Giotto, huh? I wonder what would happen to me if I just join his famiglia. What I'm thinking now? He might even forget about me already.

I coughed, coughed very hard; I even almost forgot how to breath… wait… breath? I'm breathing? And did I just feel that I fell into strong arms. I'm still coughing and catching my breathing, I didn't notice that I've been holding that person's arms for support.

"Alice…" I heard that manly familiar voice.

I opened my eyes and thanks to the lights of the other prison tanks I able to see the person that has been holding me. I saw his blonde spiky but look soft fluffy hair, his sunset colored eyes and his orange dying will flame on his forehead.

'What is he doing here?'

Meanwhile Tsuna, Yuni, Gokudera, Yamamoto, I-pin, Reborn, Colonnello, Fon and of course Lambo were now suffering into Tea cups at Namimori Theme Park.

"S-Sir!" Yelled by the stuff as he saw Tsuna and Lambo's Tea cup abnormality. "Shoot! I need to stop it!" he said to himself while he trying to fix the problems through his controllers. "I-It won't stop!" he announced.

Unknown to their group Verde was the one who behind that craziness. And unknown by anyone that the Succession test of Snow Ring Guardian has started already.

I woke up on a large bedroom, it simple only with red curtain, wooden table and chair and willow made master bed. I seat up at the same time the door opened and it revealed a blonde haired woman.

The blonde woman smiled as she saw me while she walking towards me I can see the she is holding something like folded towel or clothes, I'm not sure actually. She sat to edge of my bed ah… scratch that, of the bed, since it's not mine literally.

"Thank goodness! You finally wake up! Giotto-san would be glad so is everyone!" She happily said.

Okay… who the hell is this girl?

"Oh… I'm so sorry I haven't introduced myself to you and here I am keep talking. Anyways, I'm Elena." She happily said? Yea happily said, as she held out her hand to me to have a shake hand, and I'm not rude you know so I took hers to have the movement she wanted.

'For sure this girl doesn't know about my true identity as Alice the Reaper…'

Giotto who is in his office and signing some paperworks heard soft knocks on his wooden door.

"Enter…"

The door open slowly and revealed Elena and Alice (who is now wearing blue European gown), seeing the boyish hitwoman in gown make blush showed into Giotto's face.

"Hey, hey, Giotto-san look! Isn't she's cute?" Elena excitedly said as she pulling Alice inside of his office.

'She treated me like a doll.' Sweat dropped to Alice' and Giotto's head as Elena's childishness showed again.

"Elena please calm down…" Giotto ask to Elena but her childishness didn't stop.

"She is so cute that even you made blush!" Elena continued.

"Please stop it Elena…" Giotto ask again but she still going

"Who will going to think that she is Alice the Reaper." This made Alice flinched.

'She knew? She knew all along that I'm Alice the Reaper? But why is she acting like it was nothing?'

"Elena, Daemon has been waiting for you at the garden."

"Oh! Really? Then I'll leave you two now~ Enjoy~" then she leaves them with three sweat drops on their heads.

'What she even thinking?' they both thought at the same time.

Giotto stood up from his swivel chair and walk towards Alice.

"I'm sorry for Elena's behavior, Alice-san." He apologized with that handsome face of his.

"Is she always like that?"

"No… she is just like that because this is the first time to have another girl here in the mansion." Giotto answered. "Anyways, how are you now?"

"Not fine literally."

"And why?"

"She made me like a doll, you know! Dressing up, make up, and so on, so forth. My soul almost leaves my body while she playing at me!" she then heard his soft chuckle.

"Sorry… Elena don't have any siblings and the family members were all guys, so meeting a girl is a paradise to her."

She sighed in defeated, and look up at Giotto.

"Then, why did you bring me out from Vendicare?"

Giotto went back to his swivel chair and sat on it, then look at to her.

"I got worried and all when I heard that Vendicare took you in. Remember? I want you to join my family."

"You're serious?"

"Yea, do I look I'm joking?"

"Yes…" he chuckle.

Alice POV

On that day I also met Vongola Primo's guardians.

The red-haired with flame tattoo on his face, Vongola Primo's right-hand man, his childhood best friend, the Storm ring Guardian, G.

The happy-go-lucky swordsman, flute player, the Japanese blood guardian, Rain ring Guardian, Asari Ugetsu.

The lazy, coward, self-proclaim awesome guardian, the youngest, Lightning ring Guardian, Lampo.

The illusionist of his family, Elena's lover, laughing melon, Mist ring Guardian, Daemon Spade.

The aloof, cold wolf officer, Cloud Ring Guardian, Alaudi.

And the religious guardian, Sun ring Guardian, Knuckle.

Time passes at Vongola Mansion and surprisingly I get along with them pretty well, though I feel creepy every time I'm with Daemon.

On Giotto's office,

"Eh? Me? Guardian?"

"Yes, I want you to become this ring's guardian." Then Giotto showed to me a light blue diamond-shaped ring.

"But…"

"You said it to me once, you want to protect this family from corrupted Mafia, when you made that vow, this ring shone brightly as if the ring accepting your resolve. So I thought that if you are the one who will wear this ring and become it's guardian I'm so sure that this ring will glad, so do I."
