She looked at him with innocent eyes. Hayate blushed. She smiled at him. "Well, thank you Hayate but…" Her eyes turned mischievous within a second. "It's time for you to die." Her ends of her long beautiful blonde hair curled up with spikes. The spikes attacked Hayate in a blink of an eye. Blood dropped on the glass floor. It dripped through the empty space, turning the all white tower into a bloody thorn rose.

Alice's hair pierced through Hayate's rib. He felt the sharp end of the spike. He was confused. Her hair mysteriously turned into spikes. It was cool. Hayate snapped out of it. He looked at Alice. She was going to kill him. He needed a plan. He had no clue what to do. His mind was going blank. He was going to die.

You have to get inside the Sky Wish. In there, you have to pass a test.

Gilbert's words sparked a light in Hayate. He was right. He had to pass a test. But he didn't know what to do. Alice and Hayate stared at each other. Hayate pressed his fingers at the spot she hit him. Blood was still gushing out. Alice stood still, silent as a drop of a pin. She was the Sky Wish. She is the ring. Every ring has a spirit. She was quiet. Hayate cannot hear her voice. He couldn't sense her aura. He had no clue what she was thinking.

Hayate took a deep breath. "Why are you going to kill me?" He asked.

Alice tilted her head to the side. A strand of hair went over her face, touching her lip. "Because that is my curse…I'm supposed to kill you just like the others."

The others…

Hayate remembered the curse. The Sky Wish cursed it owners. Demon Spade cursed the ring. The ring was a danger to humanity. Surprisingly, Hayate ended up with the lethal weapon.

"Is this how the owners lost their sanity? Did you, the spirit, kill them in this realm? Is that how they lost everything?" Hayate questioned her. "Tell me everything."

Alice scoffed. "Why should I?" She stepped forward. "Every ring bearer must take a test. If they win then they get my seal to unlimited power. But, if they lose then they will lose everything. No one, so far, has passed my test. After they lost, they surely lose their humanity. All of the things they wished for will be gone. One of the ring bearers who were a business tycoon started out as a poor man with a deadbeat job and an unloving wife. He founded me in a pawn shop. He couldn't afford the money but he was so immersed by looking at him, he took a brick, thrown it at the window and took me right out. He became successful and rich. His wife couldn't get her hands off of him. But when it was time to take the test, he failed. Stocks were falling down. In seconds, his business was destroyed. His wife left him for his assistant who became a billionaire by selling those stocks. In the end, he killed himself."

"Oh my god…" Hayate said.

"Do you want to hear more?" Alice laughed. "Oh, in 1803, a young maid found me in the river when she was doing the laundry. After she put me on, she became a courtesan. She was rich and had all of the men wrapped around her finger. When she took the test, she ultimately failed. She lost all of her beauty and died of suicide. How would you end up?" She looked at him.

Hayate spoke in a quiet voice. "How did you fulfill their wishes? I thought the Sky Wish created weapons, not fulfilled dreams."

"I do make weapons." Alice smirked. "Humans are so easy to fool. I gave the businessman a weapon to know the future. That was how he brought stocks and earned money. The courtesan was given a weapon to mask her appearance, making her a goddess to the people's eyes. When I'm bored with them, I give them the test to see if they were not totally boring. But I was wrong. They took the test like it was nothing. But you, Hayate, are a little early to take the test. I'm not exactly bored with you yet."

Hayate sneered. "Well, I'm sorry to be an exciting person. I need to take the test in order to win your seal."

"So what?" Alice yelled at him. "So you can beat Akira and become the Vongola 11th. Why should I help you? I don't care. You obviously don't."

"What are you talking about?" Hayate shouted.

"Maybe it is because I realized if I become the boss I can never have the lazy days again. Everything I like will be gone." Alice mimicked Hayate's voice. Hayate remembered saying those words to Sakura when he was doubtful of his future. "Am I right?" She smirked. "You don't even have a reason to succeed the Tsunayoshi Sawada. Your future as a mob boss is very bleak."

"How would you know?" Hayate cried. "You don't know anything about my life."

"I know enough." Alice said in a serious tone. Hayate gulped. She was not kidding. She knew something but she doesn't have the heart to talk about it. "Why should I help you, Hayate? What is your deepest wish? Tell me." Alice walked towards him. She wrapped her arm around Hayate. Hayate stood still. Her presence was frightening. He doesn't have the heart to talk back because he knew his words would be shot down in seconds. He didn't know what to say. He was useless against her. She placed her hand on his rib, on the bleeding section. She closed her eyes. She placed her head on his chest. "What is your wish?" She repeated.

Hayate closed his eyes. He wanted to think clearly of his answer. He knew if he answered incorrectly, he will die. But why was it so important? Was it for the test? What is this important test? Why was it so hard for people to pass it? He doesn't know the answer.

Alice listened to the heart of Hayate. She immediately knew of his personality. Hayate Gokudera lacked responsibility. He was a lazy bum who would rather read manga than play outside. He gets bored easily. He only learned how to fight because he lost to Sakura Hibari when he was five years old. His pride was wounded so he begged his parents to teach him everything of the mob life. He regretted asking them since Madeline Mariotti changed his lifestyle. She made him go through the path of the Vongola 11th since she doesn't want Sawako Sawada ruling the family. Hayate still lacked responsibility because he gotten in useless fights over the past years. He can shoot accurately and make a bomb with his eyes closed. He was very smart but liked always, lacked the care for education. He would rather sleep than do work.

Hayate loved his friends and would do everything for them. When he was 10 years old, he dressed up as an older woman to played Nami's mother in the mother-daughter festival. He helped Ryu with his science project by getting a rare plant in Africa all by himself. He got bit by a snake but to him, it was totally worth it. He was Sakura's punching bag for six years. He attempted to save her when she was taken by the Jikken Clan.

Hayate was the type of guy who would help his friends no matter what. But as Alice knew, if he hung out with the wrong group of friends, he will lose his way. Just like the Vongola Second did…

"My deepest wish…" Hayate started off. Alive looked him in the eye. "Is to just be Hayate and that is all."Alice looked at him strangely. She backed away. Hayate's body was now healed. "I don't really care about becoming the Vongola 11th or anything. I could be a doctor or a photographer. I could do whatever I want. As long as I, Hayate Gokudera, am happy then my life is good. I don't care if I'm rich or poor. As long I have a place to eat, sleep and read manga, I'm satisfied. With my friends behind my back, I can do anything."

Alice laughed. "You're a fool. You're just like him."

Hayate was intrigued. "Who are you talking about?"

Alice turned around, holding onto her Venetian dress. She looked up at Antonio who walked in with two grown men. One of the men was a young blonde with spiky hair. He wore a black and grey pinstripe suit with a long black cloak over his shoulders. The other man was around the same height. He has black spiked hair with a long ponytail in the back. He has striking pointed sideburns. He wore a black suit with a dark olive green shirt and a black tie.

"Alice…" Antonio spoke in a gentle tone. Alice flinched as she heard his voice. She stared back cautiously at him. "These are my friends, Giotto and Ricardo." They bowed down.

Alice bowed her head. "It's nice to meet you, Sirs."

"Your sister is very well-mannered." Giotto said to Antonio.

Antonio smiled. "She grew up well."

Giotto stepped up to her. "So, Alice, what makes you happy?"

"What?" Alice said.

Ricardo scoffed. "He asked everybody that. You can just ignore him."

"But I want to know her answer!" Giotto whined. Ricardo rolled his eyes.

Alice stuttered her words. "I…am…happy…as long I'm with my brother." She looked up at Antonio.

Antonio hugged her. "I'm happy when I'm with you too, my little sister."

Giotto looked happily at the pair. He turned to Ricardo. "What is your answer?"

Ricardo turned away. "As long I have a place to eat, sleep and read books, I'm satisfied."He looked back to see everybody giving him a weird look. "What?" He yelled angrily.

Alice looked up at Hayate. "You're related to the Vongola Second?" She asked.

Hayate looked at her cautiously. "Yes. He is my great-great-great-great grandfather from my mom's side."

Alice smiled. "I see."

"Why do I have a feeling of politeness from you?" Hayate wondered.

"It's in your head." Alice snapped.

Hayate chuckled. "She's definitely a tsundere character." He mutters. "So can I take the test?"

"What test?" Alice asked.

"THE TEST YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MINUTES!" Hayate screamed.

Alice's hair grew longer and curled up into spikes, pointing towards Hayate. "I won't miss this time."

"So the test is a fight." Hayate said. "Activate Sky Wish!" Nothing appeared. "What the fuck?"

"You're in my domain. I control every weapon here." Alice sneered. "You're nothing."

Hayate chuckled. "Good thing, I still carried my parents' bombs and guns!" He flung out four bombs. Alice's hair grabbed them all, crushing it into little pieces. "Holy shit…" He groaned. He closed his eyes, preparing for the worst.

Alice walked up to him. "You passed."

Hayate opened his eyes. "Say what?"

"You passed the test." Alice leaned forward and kissed Hayate on the lips.

Hayate froze. "What are you doing?" He yelled.

Alice wiped her lips. "That was my seal. Now you're bound to me."

"EH!" Hay ate screamed. "I thought we were supposed to fight!"

"I never said that." Alice corrected him. "The test question was what your wish is? You answered Is to just be Hayate and that is all. Am I right?"

Hayate blushed. "So why did you passed me?" He asked.

Alice smirked. "To not want to change anything is only answer I will accept. The others always wanted something they don't have. Money, power and good looks were the majority of the answers. I don't like selfish people. People who would do anything to get what they want even killing someone. I would kill them immediately."

"So I have your unlimited power?" Hayate said.

Alice nodded her head. "Yes you do but remember I own you. You may be the ring bearer but I have control of everything in here. All of the weapons are mine. They are not yours."

Hayate gulped. "Aren't we partners?" He yelled. "We work together!" Alice stared at him. "I need you as much you need me."

"I don't need you." Alice snapped.

"I'm the first person you ever passed. That has to mean something right?" Hayate winked. "Besides it can be lonely in here. But don't worry, I'll come and visit you."

"You're a fool." Alice told him.

Hayate smiled. "You're so tsundere." He looked at her in awe.

"I have one problem, Hayate Gokudera." Alice stopped him. "The ring is called the Sky Wish but my name is Alice. I don't like being called the Sky Wish."

"Alright then, from now on I'll call you Alice instead of Sky Wish." Hayate looked at his ring. It was shining a bright blue light. "You're this light, right?" He asked her.

She ignored him. "It's time for you to go back." Alice said to him.

Hayate opened his eyes to see Reborn, Gilbert and Nate eating Sukiyaki in front of him. His eyes burned with fire. "GIMME BEEF!" He yelled. Everybody turned around and stared at him.

Reborn smirked. "So you passed the test?"

Hayate nodded. "Yes but you didn't tell me about Alice."

"Who is Alice?" Reborn said. He handed Hayate a plate of pure beef. Hayate grabbed his chopsticks. "Itadakimasu!" He took a piece of beef. Alice grabbed his hand and shoved the meat into her mouth.

"This is delicious." Alice said.

Hayate screamed. "Alice, what are you doing here? Spirits can eat?"

Gilbert smirked. "Hello Alice, it has been a long time."

"Seaweed Head, you still looked the same." Alice said.

"Well, you did give me the gift of immortality." Gilbert smiled. "And don't call me Seaweed Head."

"You two know each other?" Hayate asked.

Gilbert chuckled. "Let me give you a proper introduction. The young lady is Alice Montenegro De Rossi. She is the De Rossi Primo's little sister."

"I was his sister. We cut ties long ago on that day." Alice said in a silent voice.

"You're a human?" Hayate screamed. "I didn't know that."

"I was a human before I died. My origin story is very long so I'll tell you next time." She told Hayate. "Let's eat lunch first. I'm starving." She stole his meat.

"HEY! Get your own!" Hayate yelled at her.

"When you lived for 400 years, you lacked the care for good manners." Alice and Gilbert said at the same time.

"Great, we're with two immortal freaks." Nate muttered.

"Alice is a spirit." Gilbert corrected him. He looked at Hayate. "We'll start your training after lunch."

"But don't I need my tutors?" Hayate said.

Reborn grinned. "Your three tutors are me, Gilbert, and Alice. We're all here now."

"I feel something bad will happen." Hayate said, feeling nauseous.


I'm thinking of doing Alice's origin story in the future but i don't know when.

Anyway, Hayate's training finally is starting!
