Fratellanza
I looked at myself in the mirror. I had a mid-thigh length navy blue skirt, with bikers shorts underneath because Japan was way too creepy about their schools uniforms, a white long-sleeved blouse with a beige blazer over it, and a red bow around my neck. My black socks were up my thighs, leaving almost no gap between them and the skirt and I wore black boots.
I stared at my reflection with a deadpan.
Fuck, I had not worn a school uniform since I left Mafia School back when I was nine.
I grabbed my bag and left my place, my headphones in my ears. On the way, I started to see people wearing the same uniform than mine glancing at me. I ducked my head, hoping my hair would hide my very foreign, very red eyes.
Naturally, I wanted pull at my hair in frustration when I had to fucking introduce myself to the whole class.
"My name is Sini Luciana, I'm from Italy and will turn fifteen in May. That's all you need to know."
"Please sit behind Sasagawa. Sasagawa, raise your hand!" A white-haired boy with gray eyes and a band-aid on his nose raised his hand. I nodded and sat quietly, actually focusing to follow the teacher's mathematics lesson. Not for the math itself, but to follow his quick Japanese.
Funny enough, lunch break came quickly. I looked around the classroom, as everyone pulled their lunch from their bag and I cursed myself in my head. Right, you had to bring your own food in that country.
"You don't have a lunch?" the guy in front of me asked me, looking at my empty table.
"I forgot that was how you Japanese people do," I muttered with my stupid accent. "Is there a place where I can buy food?" He nodded, I grabbed my bag and followed him. He started to explain to me how this school worked, just like the clubs and how the boxing one was extreme. "So," I started as we started to wait in line, "I'm guessing you're a part of that boxing club?"
"I extremely am its leader Sini!" I rolled my eyes.
Please, not a second Superbi. The guy was in Italy far from my ears and it was fine by me.
Once I had my food, Ryohei took me outside to eat, as he had bought something too. I was chewing on the last bite of my sandwich when I heard fighting sounds. I went to investigate with curiosity and frowned at the guys being beaten up by three others, all dressed in black with stupid pompadour hair. I frowned.
I couldn't care less about the two guys, but I hated bullying with a passion. I had been bullied and witnessed Dino being bullied way too many times.
So, before my brain could register my action, I had knocked one of them out.
"Wh...you, what do you think you're doing!?" one of them screamed at me. I sighed.
"Getting spotted on my first day like an idiot." I dodged his punch, balanced myself on his shoulders to kick the one behind him, landed, grabbed him and made him fly above my shoulder. I looked at them with my hands on my hips.
"That was so extreme! You totally should join the Boxing Club!"
"Nope." He was about to say something but looked down at the pompadour guys.
"They're part of the Disciplinary Committee, if Hibari finds out he'll bite you to death." I wrinkled my nose.
"If he's as strong as those trash it won't be a problem."
Though, for the rest of the day, I couldn't help but think that 'bite to death' seemed vaguely familiar. Well, it probably wasn't important.
"Prefect, we have an issue," Kusakabe Tetsuya told Hibari. The latter barely raised his eyes from his paper. "There was an attack on three of our men during lunch break." He raised a brow.
"Really? Who?"
"Apparently, it was a girl. There is a new transfer in 1_C, from Italy." Kusakabe gave a file to the Prefect, who lazily opened it. He stared at the picture inside. "Hibari-san?" Kusakabe widened his eyes in shock at the carnivorous smirk on Hibari's face.
"It won't be boring anymore."
Herbivores were no fun.
Now the Italian carnivore was in town, he finally could have a challenge.
He couldn't wait to bite her to death.
The next morning, I found myself facing Ryohei and a ginger-haired girl next to him, on the way to school. As a greeting, Ryohei asked me to join his boxing club, I refused and the girl, apparently his younger sister as she called him 'Onii-chan', told him to stop.
"My name is Sasagawa Kyoko, I am sorry for my brother!" she apologized, bowing quickly. I swear, Japan…
"That's okay, don't worry. I've known worst. I'm Sini Luciana by the way." She looked happily at me.
"I know, Onii-chan told me you arrived yesterday!" I shot Ryohei a look, who nodded.
"I had to tell Kyoko a girl was that extreme!" I frowned.
"Why wouldn't a girl be extreme?"
"Please don't listen to him, Onii-chan doesn't mean wrong, he is clumsy with words. Oh, I will enroll to Namimori-Middle in April, would you mind if I called your 'senpai'?" I blinked and pointed at myself. She nodded happily and I felt a grin crept up on my face.
"Don't bother with my name and just call me 'Ana' then, you won't be the first." She smiled at me and I swore there could be flowers behind her with how bright her smile was.
"Thank you Ana-senpai!"
My mood was great because being called 'senpai' was awesome. However, it was short-lived as, Ryohei and I barely put a foot on the school ground that a dozen of pompadour guys were around us. The one seemingly leading them had a twig in his mouth. I crossed my arms on my chest with a bored look.
"Are you the Hibari guy who bites people to death?" He shook his head.
"No, but Hibari will be expecting you on the roof of the second-year building at lunchtime. Do not make him wait." I raised a brow, barely interested.
"Of course not." I ignored people whispering between themselves and turned to Ryohei once the DC was gone. "Where's that building?" He laughed loudly and hit me in the back, almost making me lose balance. He was a boxer, but he had more strength than expected.
"I'll come with you! I haven't challenged him in while!
The morning was filled with my fucking classmates staring at me and whispering. I rolled my eyes and looked by the window. My first day of school years ago was the same.
However, when we reached the roof, there was just that guy with the twig.
"So, where's the..." I caught the flying thing heading toward me without looking back. "Rude. So where's that Hibari?" The guy was shocked, staring at me astonishingly. I raised a brow and looked at the object in my hand. I blinked at the steel tonfa in…
Tonfa?
Bite to death?
I turned around and his second tonfa landed in my nose, making me bleed. It fell on the ground in a metallic sound, like the one I had caught.
"Fuck you, you're as violent as ever Kyoya," I grumbled, holding my bloody nose. The asshole smirked at me.
"You should be more aware of your surroundings." I glared at his smug face.
"Yeah, because flying tonfas were obviously my biggest worry when I came here." I accepted the tissue Ryohei gave me and put it on my nose. "There's a guy called Hibari who should come soon though, so would y..." I stopped when I noticed his jacket and the red armband pinned to it. For the first time of my life, I saw Kyoya actually surprised. It was minim, but here. Then, it was his turn to glare at me.
"How stupid can you be to not even know my last name carnivore?"
"You never told me, not even when we dropped you off at the airport!"
"You never asked." Someone cleared up their throat behind me. I turned my head to look at the pompadour guy.
"So I am guessing you two already know each other." I nodded.
"Kusakabe, prepare a girl uniform." Kusakabe widened his eyes.
"Hi...Hibari-san?" He left quickly under Kyoya's gaze.
"THAT'S SO EXTREME!" I sweatdropped at Ryohei. Kyoya's eyes snapped at him, almost as if he had not noticed him at first.
Then, he ignored him.
"I'm not joining weak trash who bully people," I stated firmly, grabbing my bag. He raised a brow.
"I'm not giving you a choice."
"Yet I still make one loser." His tonfas back in his hands, he charged at me. I grabbed his weapons with my bare hands, smudging blood from the tissue on one of them, and tried to kick him in the legs. He saw it coming and jumped back.
"I won more times than you." I scoffed.
"Right, I wasn't aware defeat and counting were different in Japan." I walked past him. "See you around Kyoya."
Why did I have that feeling I would see that guy often?
When I got home, I called Fon.
"How is Japan treating you?" he greeted me.
"Fine. My nose is not because of your nephew's toys." He chuckled on the other side of the line and my brow twitched. "Why didn't you tell me Kyoya lived in Namimori?"
"I figured it would be more interesting if you found out on your own. I have to go Luciana, don't cause trouble." I stared blankly at my wall, my phone still against my ear.
With Kyoya? Damn, he would cause me trouble.
"Violence is just...okay?" Arro asked me on the phone as I was going home after spying a little on Iemitsu's kid.
He was like Dino years ago.
"Well, I'm pretty sure they just rule the school through violence," I replied, using my badge to enter my building. "I mean, that Disciplinary Committee is just a bunch of delinquents ruled by an even bigger delinquent."
"Seems fun to me." I rolled my eyes and heard him typing.
"Are you busy?"
"Just finishing a presentation about the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. I get that with New York, Chicago is the city with the most underground shit in America, but fuck I've been studying that for years." I chuckled.
"Well, in two years you're done with school anyway." He grumbled something.
"I guess it's better than going back undercover to babysit. Because, honestly, you told me Reborn would come later in the year, we both know you'll end babysitting Iemitsu's brat and his future Guardians." I stared blankly at the door of the elevator as it was going up. "You're...okay with finding Guardians Lulu?"
"I dunno, it still seems like in the far future so...hey, wanna come and visit at some point?"
"Hell yeah! I'll keep you updated. Anyway, I gotta go, I have class in an hour and I can't miss the subway again."
"Good luck," I told him before he hung up. I rolled my shoulders as I opened the door and dropped my bag on the floor. The door was barely closed that I felt someone in my apartment.
To be fair, pointing my gun at Kyoya, who was lazily laying down in my couch was...weird.
"The hell Kyoya?" I asked him as he looked up at me through his bangs. "You don't just waltz in people's place! How did you even get in here!? How did you know where I lived!?"
"I have access to every students' files," he told me flatly, sitting up. I sighed.
"What do you want?"
"I want to know what the Italian Mafia is doing in my town." I stared at him in surprised, then I smirked.
"Heh, how did you know?"
"Fon taught you. I know what his pacifier means." I chuckled.
"Well, that's to be expected. Don't worry about me, I'm just here on a mission. I'm watching someone."
"Not assassination?"
"Come on, if it was I'd be gone by now, and not enrolled in your school. I graduated at fourteen." He got up and took a step toward me. We were the same height and his glare was not really effective. I received worst.
"Who are you watching?" I shrugged.
"A person important in the future." Even if the kid was called Dame-Tsuna and was scared of chihuahuas.
"Hn." He turned away and went to the door. "If your Mafia disrupts the peace in Namimori, I will bite you to death." On this lovely note, he left.
What the…
And obviously, he kept asking/ordering me to join his little group for a reason I didn't know.
The end of the school year came by quickly, and we were on a two-week break. Tsunayoshi would come to the same school as me and I would be able to really look for Guardians.
I was walking back from a sushi place, in the early evening, when I realized I was being followed.
First thing first, let's get them in an empty spot. In my early explorations of the town, I ended up in an abandoned site where there were factories. With no originality whatsoever, around ten men surrounded me. With a sigh, I quickly killed nine of them. The last one was about to run, but I shoot him in the kneecaps.
"So, what do you want from me?" He glared, his teeth red from the blood in his mouth.
"Il piccolo topo è ricercato*." I froze and clenched my fist. 'The little mouse is wanted' huh…
Fuck, they knew where I was!
Fortunately for me, unfortunately for my victim, I managed to make him spill the beans on who sent him here.
Nishimura.
They were a big Family of yakuzas here in Japan.
Still...the message was from the Estraneos, it was the very same than the Giegue gave me a couple of years ago. There was no mistake.
Fucking Nishimuras, I would find them and make them speak.
On this note, I went to school. That Kyoya would be here, I just knew it. And if someone knew about yakuzas, it was him and the DC who kept the streets of Namimori 'clean'.
Yeah, they had some use after all. Who knew.
Anyway, I opened the sliding door violently. Kyoya raised an eye at me, then back to his paper to keep working. I walked to the desk and slammed my hands on it, a frown marring my face.
He still didn't raise his head toward me.
"If I were to join that annoying little Committee of yours," I started, knowing talking like that about the DC would get me his attention, "would I have access to Intel about yakuzas?" He raised a curious brow.
"Why the sudden interest?" I snorted.
"I just got attacked. Well, if your men had been against them they would have died, but they were after me. I need information."
"Why would yakuzas be after you?"
"Bite me! As if I knew what those Nishimuras think!" He seemed to freeze for a second, his eyes widening. "So, if..."
"No." I blinked in confusion.
"You're the one wanting me in your group and now I have a deal you..."
"Don't get involved with the Nishimuras. Drop it carnivore." That was...weird.
"Fine, I'll ask Fon then, he must kno..." I had not finished my sentence that Kyoya pounced on me, jumping above his desk, and pinned me on the floor with a tonfa on my throat. I was too shocked to make a move, and his eyes were burning in fury.
"Don't tell him anything about the Nishimuras in this town." I started breathing with difficulty. Shit, he triggered my asthma that douche. "Forget you even heard that name." He got up and I grabbed my inhalator in my pocket, taking deep breaths from it, still flat on the floor. Once I had my breathing under control, I jumped on my feet. I knew I probably had the print of the tonfa on my throat, but that reaction...
"I'm not forgetting that name. These trash tried to take me back to a place I will never go back to, and I want to know what they know about the Estraneos!" His steel eyes were still staring, cold fury trying to intimidate me into submitting, but I glared back, burning wrath shooting daggers at him. "If you stand in my way, Fon's relative or not, I'll be the one to fucking bite you to death, capisce?" I turned away and left.
Who did he think he was?
I had found their hideout and watched it as much as I could. There was not a lot of people coming in and out so it was pretty boring. I was kneeling, hoping Kyoya had not sent any more of his men after me to keep me out of the Nishimura problem.
Seriously, that guy was…
"What do we have here?" I turned around, my hand on my gun. The man grabbed me by the throat and lifted me off the ground before I had the time to make a move. I clenched my jaw. He was dressed in an expensive gray suit with a black dress shirt and a red tie. His hair was jet black and slicked back, vicious steel eyes staring at me like a prey. "If it isn't the little mouse who keeps running around?"
"Fucking trash," I spat between my teeth. I grabbed his wrist, determined to burn it 'til it fall, but he threw me against the wall, knocking my head against the concrete.
"I'm sure my son will like the company."
I passed out. When I woke up, my head throbbing painlessly, I sat up with a growl. My eyes scanned the dark room I was in and I ducked my head when I received something in it. I rubbed the back of my head, glaring at the tonfa.
Oh no...that guy told me his son…
I turned around, squinted and recognized Kyoya's silhouette sitting against the wall.
The fuck was going on in this town?
"Your father is an asshole." He didn't respond, I wasn't even sure if he was looking at me.
Wait Luciana, think. The guy was a strong yakuza, and Kyoya his son. Kyoya was Fon's nephew, Fon was known in the Triads and most probably in all Asia, so among yakuzas too. Kyoya was related to these two.
Wait.
Wait wait wait wait wait!
When I met Kyoya, they were all grieving! And Kyoya was a kid, if his father was there then…
Oh, his mother. I knew Fon had two sisters, Feng and one they never mentioned in front of me. And didn't Fon mention family issues with his father?
Oh fuck.
"You're Nishimura's bastard and he had your mother killed," I stated quietly. I didn't notice any move, until I saw his eyes under raven locks, staring coldly at me.
"So?" he replied in a hoarse voice. Kyoya's voice was strangely smooth and even relaxing, which clashed with his violent nature. So now…
"Did they beat you up? Got your throat?" He groaned and I walked up to him. I made my flame to have some light, and he grabbed my wrist to pin it on the floor when I spotted purplish bruises on the skin of his throat. "Looks bad."
"Hn." I sighed and leaned against the wall. "You didn't listen."
"Of course not." A small silence settled between us. "I'll back off, your family business are not my business."
"You'll defend yourself if they try to send you back to the Estraneos to be a lab rat." I chuckled humorlessly.
"I guess you figuring that out is on me. Fuck, that situation sucks."
"Hn."
"Although, if they do anything to me, they'll have too many powerful people after them, it's not a smart choice. I'm too valuable for my 'Family'." I added the last bit with irony. They would get me back to keep me in line and to have a powerful weapon. Dino would come for me, but he'd be the only one.
I wanted Federico.
"Do you have any experience in negotiating?"
"No." I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the wall.
Great. That was...great.
I wouldn't be able to tell how long it was until someone opened the door, but Kyoya and I were both dragged somewhere else. I closed my eyes at the bright light attacking them and groaned as I was dropped on the floor. I raised my head. The man was there, in a chair, sipping on expensive alcohol and I could see a bit of a tattoo near his collar. Next to him was a blond woman with green eyes. She was definitely European. I knew that Nishimura Boss, Hide, was married to a Welsh woman and had been for two decades.
"You know Kyoya, it really hurts to know you came, not to spend some time with your father, but to question us because of a foreigner." I frowned and shot Kyoya a quick look. He must have tried to get information on his side and his father didn't appreciate him sticking his nose in his business. "But I understand, your precious Namimori is important, so I will take care of the girl. An old friend of mine really wants her back, she won't stay here for long.
So…
That guy knew the man wanting me back.
"Oh Kyoya, don't give your father that look," the blond woman said with a Welsh accent, twirling a lock of curly hair around her finger, "we already beat you up so you can't keep us from making moves." Damn, I really wanted to beat her up. I cleared my throat and got up, the world spinning around me. I hoped I didn't have a concussion.
"Trash," I started. Hide raised a brow at me. "Are you willing to go against the Vongolas and Cavallones because of an old friend?" He eyed me with interests and I wrinkled my nose. "I have contacts in the fucking VARIA." He smirked at that. A smirk that clearly said he knew something.
"Oh I am sure you do, but are they available?" I frowned. He fucking knew about Xanxus, and he knew he was…
Fuck, who was that guy!?
Kyoya managed to get up too, standing next to me and I didn't need to look to feel the hatred coming out of him, all of it just for his father. Father who then, smirked coldly at him. I exchanged a look with Kyoya.
We were outnumbered by a lot, we had to run away, even if it hurt his pride. He seemed ready for it though.
Yeah, when we were both at Fon's, he would make us train together, and then team up against him. Might as well try some of the stuff we had came up with, against Kyoya's will because he hated teaming up with me.
I created my flame on the palm of my hand and slammed it on the floor, sending the Flame of Wrath through it. It cracked into explosions, and in the midst of it, Kyoya threw me on his shoulder as I lighted my ring and covered us in illusions.
I didn't miss it though. Hide's serious gaze on me, the small surprise in it.
I kept the illusions until we were back in Namimori and passed out.
Needless to say, when I woke up, I was surprised to find myself in what looked like a futon on the floor. Everything around me was typically Japanese. I sat up with a groan and put my hand on my head. There was a bandage around it.
"Oh, Sini-san, you're awake." I looked up at Tetsuya, Kyoya's second. "The doctor said you should take these pills if your head hurt." I refrained myself from commenting the pain part, but took the pills. I knew now, when my body should feel pain.
"Am I at Kyoya's? Is he okay?" He nodded.
"Yes, he is resting for now." I nodded too and l laid back down. "When you wake up, do not hesitate to go to the kitchen to eat, it is on the first-floor, just go through the dining-room."
"Sure..." I fell back asleep.
I was eating some chicken, not as good as our cook at home did but not bad, when Kyoya appeared in the kitchen, yawning and his hair a mess like I had not seen in years. We exchanged a look and he took something to eat too, taking place in front of me.
"So," I started, putting down my fork, "where's that uniform?" Kyoya shot me a quick look before going back to his meal.
"In your apartment, in the back of your closet." That little… "You will start half and hour before the first period starts."
"Yes sir."
It was left unsaid that I'd be here if he needed it, that I would move if I was attacked or if they hindered my mission. But we both knew.
"Fon and Feng don't know shit about him being in town, do they?" Kyoya twirled his chopsticks in his miso soup. His silence was enough of an answer.
Damn, and I thought I was trouble.
"In a few months, the guy who's currently training my older brother will be in town. He's an Arcobaleno, like Fon." This got Kyoya's attention. "He's got quite the reputation, I think this should make them back off." Once the news of Tsunayoshi being the Vongola Decimo spread in the Underworld, and him being under Reborn's tutelage, the Nishimuras should back off.
Kyoya remained silent.
For now, all I could do was keeping myself out of the Estraneos' grasp and keep Tsunayoshi or his mom from being targeted by these yakuzas. Attacking the Nishimuras would be stupid, they would kill me.
I had to lay low until Reborn was here.
Fuck, I had never wanted to see that little demon so much in my entire life.
