Kimeka: eto… I have some excuses for being late again… ahahah… but I won't say them, instead, I'll be giving you guys a LONG chapter (again)
Kazuki: tsk tsk, Kimeka… This is becoming a habit of yours…
Emerald: *laughs* Keep this up and your chapters will always be 2000+ words!
Kimeka: *bangs head on wall* wahhhh… T^T
Emerald: I just hope the readers will forgive us! *faces you* please?
Kimeka: *pulls Emerald out of the way of incoming tomatoes* that was close!
"Are you by any chance, the A-class officer we've been trying to request for the last few months?" A middle aged lady asked the teenage girl in front of her. The girl looked about the age of her boss. Long slightly-curled ebony hair framed her pretty face and reached her mid-back. And she has a rare shade of metallic silver-blue eyes with hints of purple in the sunlight only enhanced by her pale skin. She didn't look what the lady imagined when she read her description made by the police chief.
This girl we are offering the services to you is a very scary character with no care in the well-being of others, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. This often leads his opponents to surprise her, as she doesn't think before attacking. She prefers to be alone as she has full confidence in her strength and power and dislikes to work together with anybody due to feeling bind and restrained. But she is shown to work well with her co-workers whose name will not be mentioned, whom she seems to know outside of work. She is one of the most dangerous people we have in the whole police force in all of Italy, not just the town she is assigned to.
She is also fiercely loyal to what she deems worthy of her loyalty. She absolutely refuses to allow herself to be controlled and will attack anyone who tries to do so.
We cannot make her agree with a flick of a finger, so whoever wants to make her work for them has to personally request her presence, as she dislikes being summoned through letters. Keeping in mind that she is a high classed officer, she will only work for you if you can guarantee a fight and a high fee.
We cannot guarantee you staying alive when she works for you for she gets annoyed easily and kills the nearest person she sees; there is a 50/50 chance that it is you.
We recommend assigning her to missions with extremely little chance of survival for normal people as she likes challenges. And she has a mission completion rate of 100% keeping in mind that she doesn't see anything that affects her. A few times this has happened and the person she is supposed to be protecting is brutally murdered.
That's what she read, and she immediately decided that this girl can be useful, even for only a little while. Her boss decided the same thing, but unfortunately they could not call her over to the CEDEF headquarters for months, thankfully they managed to get in contact with someone who knows her personally and they were finally able to summon her.
"Yes." She answered "Hibari Kyori" she introduced herself
"I'm Stella. Please follow me." She started walking toward her boss' office. Kyori followed suit.
As Kyori followed the blond middle agaed lady, she saw a large beautifully-carved wooden double door. Stella knocked on one of the "Boss, the A-class officer has arrived"
A familiar voice spoke up from the door "Send her in" Stella opened one of the large wooden doors and gestured Kyori to go in.
The room was dark. But she could still see without a problem. Looking at her temporary boss, she asked "How long will I be serving you?"
The blonde man seemed to stop everything (even his breathing) for a second there. He suddenly looked up "It's you..." was the only thing he said.
Narrowing her eyes, she walked closer "Alaude?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow "You were the boss of the CEDEF?"
Alaude looked insulted "You think I'm not? You wound me" He placed a hand on his chest and fake-mocked a hurt expression "And you're an A-classes officer?" he countered
Kyori sighed and changed the subject "Its dark here" Making her way to the windows covered by the curtains, she opened them.
Alaude hissed at the sudden brightness before imitating a vampire "it burns! Close the window right this—you're not going to do what I said are you" he asked flatly, stopping his childish behavior for a moment
"No" Kyori rolled her eyes at the guy's antics, even if they were cute.
"Dammit" Alaude cursed and continued doing his work. Picking up a stack of papers and silently skimming through them, he said "You're going to be working for me for a month" Kyori just nodded and remained silent
"You're not just going to be sent out on missions either" Alaude informed her
"What?"
"You'll be like a secretary for a month. No turning back now, we already sent you the money"
"Wait, what about the fight?" Kyori asked. If he didn't cover all requirements, maybe she could manage to get out of this.
"As for that…" Alaude stood up from his comfortable-looking chair and walked over to her, hands behind his back "I'll be fighting you myself"
"I have no interest in fighting children"
Kyori's left eye twitched at the memory, her mouth turning into a smirk "bring it on" Grabbing her tonfas from God-knows-where, she charged at him.
"Woah" Alaude also smirked "That's fast" Taking a small leap backwards, he revealed what he was hiding behind his back. A pair of handcuffs
Kyori frowned. Those were absolutely NOT his handcuffs; he seemed to be uncomfortable using this pair.
"So" Alaude said simply as if he wasn't in a fight at all—like her when she was male "Shall we start?" He dashed forward
Kyori hissed as Alaude wrapped her injured arm with bandages. That freaking hurt!
"I guess you'll be my secretary then" He suddenly spoke up
"Shut up" Kyori glared at him, and he didn't even look the slightest bit scared.
"You best go home today. I'll call you over tomorrow—" Before Alaude could finish what he was saying, someone suddenly rushed into the room carrying a young boy. Alaude's eyes narrowed visibly "What is the meaning of this Alberto?" he growled at the man.
"B-Boss!" The man said in surprise, clearly not expecting to find his boss in the clinic of all places "The Estraneo famiglia experimented on another child" Kyori was inwardly confused. Why bring a child here just because he was experimented on? Sure she would do the same thing, but Alaude? No way
"I see, treat the child immediately. Is there anything strange about him?" Alaude questioned the subordinate far taller than he was. Alberto nodded and quickly said "This boy's name and experiment objective is in this folder, he was smart enough to bring the information with him when he escaped. That folder is the only way we knew he was from the Estraneo famiglia" makes sense. Alaude took the folder and started skimming. There was only one page.
Experiment name: 81638068
Real name: Fon (no last name; orphaned)
Age: 12
Blood type: AB
Experiment objective: experiment 81638068's experiment is solely focused on changing his face to look like the cloud guardian of the Vongola famiglia. The Vongola famiglia have been targeted by the Estraneo for a long time. But unfortunately due to the lack of physical strength of the Estraneo, they have never been able to attempt to attack them. Because of this, Estraneo are planning to bring down their reputation by claiming 81638068 as their cloud guardian's illegitimate son
Alaude sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. he didn't bother to continue reading after that one paragraph. Another enemy—great! Just great! Just what they needed! And this time, he was the intended first target!
Alberto finished tending to the boy's wounds "Boss, he is now taken care of" Alaude nodded and sent him out. There was a pregnant silence for a few minutes after that
"He… looks a lot like you" Kyori broke the silence surprisingly, walking over to the bed where the boy lay. He really did look like Alaude, minus the long black hair.
"I know you're awake" Alaude said, looking directly at the boy's closed eyes. He silently reprimanded himself on how harsh his voice sounded when he spoke—cold and harsh
The raven haired child flinched a little—it would've gone unnoticed if it were anyone but Alaude or Kyori—and quickly got up as if he were to be tortured if he didn't. That was most likely how the Estraneo treated him when he was held captive. "P-Please don't hurt me" he stammered quietly. At least he was able to speak, unlike the previous children that were in his presence a few times in the past.
Kyori sent Alaude a look that said 'this-is-your-fault-you-were-too-harsh-fix-it-NOW'
Alaude sent one back to her that said 'I'm-not-good-with-children-you-do-it-I'm-your-boss '
Kyori mumbled something incoherently and knelt on the floor in front of the child. Her gaze softened while she asked "What is your name?"
The boy looked up, seemingly surprised of her voice. 'He must've been so scared that he didn't notice that Kyori was a girl' Alaude thought.
"F-Fon. My name is Fon; I don't have a last name…" Fon said quietly, looking down again. It was then when Kyori noticed that Fon looked dead tired and was even struggling with standing and keeping his head up, which was more likely the reason why he kept looking down. Alaude also noticed this
"You seem quite tired" He tried speaking again, being careful not to make his every word sound like a death threat. Fon nodded.
"Why don't you sleep for a bit?" Kyori offered, momentarily glancing at one of the beds in the clinic.
Fon looked at her "Is it okay?" taking a small step backwards, he seemed dizzy.
Alaude watched as Fon's legs suddenly gave out to the exhaustion and collapsed. The blond knew what the feeling was like, since he himself was a bit known to collapse from exhaustion.
It was a good thing that Kyori was just in front of Fon; she was fast enough to catch him.
Alaude sent Kyori a teasing look. She huffed a bit and said "So I like kids, sue me"
Shaking his head, he took Fon from Kyori's arms and carried him on his back like a father would "We're going to the Vongola mansion, I need to give this to Giotto" He showed her the folder. The ebony haired girl nodded and stood up from her kneeling position.
On the way to the Vongola mansion, Alaude noticed that they've been getting strange looks from everyone. Some people smiled, some squealed, some were shocked, some cursed and some were downright horrified. It greatly confused him
He felt Fon shift a little on his back. He adjusted his hold on him a bit.
Wait…
This boy looked EXACTLY like him, save for his BLACK hair.
And the BEAUTIFUL woman walking beside him had BLACK hair.
He was carrying the child as like a FATHER would carry his SON.
Fuuuu-
"We should hurry" Alaude quickened his pace while Kyori followed, while asking "What's the rush?"
Alaude turned to look at her "Everyone that sees us thinks that we are a couple" he paused for effect "And Fon, they think Fon's our son"
"Oh" Kyori said dumbly, not knowing what to say next. She started walking even faster "Lets hurry, rumors will be made soon" Alaude agreed
Just a few moments after getting inside the Vongola mansion, a small girl greeted them "Welcome back, Alaude-san and Kyori-san" She smiled brightly
Luce had only been staying in the Vongola mansion for three days now. Her mother was in a coma and was currently resting in one of the clinics in the Vongola mansion. She met Alaude and Kyori when Giotto introduced them to her. Lately, Tsuna has been teaching her a bit of Japanese, she was eager to learn it to the point where she started using honorifics when addressing people. Poor Tsuna had to explain to people what honorifics were every time she met a new person
"Ah, good afternoon to you as well, Luce" Kyori greeted back, Luce nodded and glanced at Alaude, she noticed something odd.
"Why is Alaude-san carrying someone?" She asked, walking over to the side and getting a glimpse of the boy's face. She gasped in a dramatic way
"EH?! Kyori-san and Alaude-san had a son?!" Both the two clouds resisted the urge to bang their heads on the nearest wall in front of the child. "I have to tell Giotto-san!" She said then started running to Giotto's office.
Kyori and Alaude just stood there, thinking of ways to mend their pride later on. Fon suddenly woke up, feeling a bit drowsy "Wha?" he managed to say, a bit slurred. Kyori reached out and started rubbing Fon's head until he fell asleep again.
"Ne, Giotto, I'm cold…" A cute brunette whined to the blonde man sitting on the chair behind the desk.
Giotto looked up from his paperwork, looking calm "Tsuna" He shook his head "I'm a bit busy right now" He glanced at the stacks of paperwork with a bored expression "Maybe later, okay?" He smiled and Tsuna's cheeks were suddenly tinted a rosy pink color
Tsuna pouted childishly and went to hug him from behind "But… I'm cold now…" she whined again
Giotto smirked coolly at her "Well now, I guess I have no choice now do I?" carefully placing one hand on her back and the other near the back of her knees, he lifted her up and set her on his lap
"So…" He asked slowly, voice seductive "What do you want to do now?" He whispered in her ear. Tsuna giggled lightly and wrapped her arms around his neck
"I think you already know the answer to that question, ne Giotto?" The normally shy girl closed her eyes and brought her face closer to his. Giotto did the same
Until the distance was merely centimeters
"WAKE UP!"
Giotto suddenly sprang up from his chair "who what where how?" He looked from left to right until he noticed little Luce standing in front of his desk. So what had happened earlier was a dream? He must've dozed off earlier while doing paperwork.
Giotto hid a yawn with his hand before asking the child before him "What is it Luce?" he sat down
Luce started being a bit hyperactive "Alaude-san and Kyori-san has a son!" She squealed. Giotto stood back up
"What?!"
"Isn't there a faster way to get to the Vongola Mansion?" The young boy with dark, charcoal-colored eyes asked his mother. He was getting impatient, Luce could be hurt right this moment and her they were, in a carriage "No, be patient Reborn" The mother scolded him lightly, giving a small boring lecture about how important patience is. Reborn resisted rolling his eyes, he's heard this too much times already…
Looking out the window, he saw it was a beautiful, relaxing day. Perhaps an ally had found Luce and took care of her? He hoped so.
The sky was bright today… Like her smile
He just hopes he would get the chance to see that smile again
"S-sister… I-I'm scared…" A young boy, about the age of five or six held on to his sister's hand for comfort. The girl that looked around the age of eight stopped and ruffled the young boy's purple hair, just a shade lighter than hers. It was cold tonight, much colder than last night.
"Don't worry, Skull" She assured him "We'll find Fon and everything will be alright" smiling softly, she clutched the two folders in her other hand tightly.
"B-But what if w-we don't find Fon?" The boy chocked a bit on his own words, clearly afraid.
"We will" she assured him a second time "If there's one thing we know about Fon, he'll always find us" Skull nodded, not quite fully believing his sister words. The violet haired girl looked at him in worry. Looking around for people, they were alone.
She let go of his hand and placed the folders on the dirty ground. Raising both her arms she concentrated
Skull stared in wonder and amazement as blue glowing butterflies started materializing from nothing. They suddenly turned red
Viper smiled at her brother "Until then, I'll show you more of my magic tricks!" Moving her left hand in a circular motion some of the butterflies started moving in a circle. Suddenly she clapped, and the butterflies went from red to purple, their favorite color
"They're so pretty!" he exclaimed raising his arms to reach for a butterfly just above him.
"Of course! I'm going to be the best illusionist in the world after all!" Viper exclaimed proudly.
"Yeah! Big sis is the best!" Skull grinned widely, clapping as the butterflies changed color again.
Kimeka: I was tired when I wrote this by the way! And my hands are aching! xD
