Fratellanza

"I've been ripped off." Kyoya raised his eyes to me.

"How so?"

"The new guy in my class, he has green hair and red eyes. It took me a long time to accept my eye color and now I discover it's not just Xanxus and I?" I stopped pacing and leaned on the desk, on Kyoya's right and facing the window, with a sigh. "He better be the only one."

"Did you come to complain?" I held my chin high and moved to lean against the wall, my hands behind my back.

"I know you'll be sad if I don't come and see you at least once a day Kyo-chan." He scoffed without looking up. "Next time I'm coming with Arro and I'm leaving him here."

"I'll bite him to death."

"Not gonna lie, he's curious of how much you've improved with Cloud Flames." Now it got him smirking.

Someone opened the door without knocking. Nobody did that but Arro and I. I raised a brow at the girl, standing straight in the doorway. She had a different uniform than me, so she was one of the transferred students. But...she had high-heeled boots, with dark stocking and what clearly was a garter belt. The skirt was short, the jacket tight it put her already huge breast even more in the spotlight. She was pretty too, long black hair tied in a high ponytail and red eyes.

"Are you the Disciplinary Committee Prefect Hibari Kyoya?" He looked up at her. She sounded confident and her voice was...very woman-like.

"Who are you?"

"Suzuki Adelheid, a third year student from Shimon Middle School. From this day on, this room belongs to the Liquidation Committee." Huh...what? My hearing exams said it was still pretty much perfect...did I hear her right?

"The Liquidation Committee?"

"If you resist, I'll have to act accordingly. From now on, the order of this school will not be protected by the Disciplinary Committee of Namimori, but by the Liquidation Committee of Shimon."

"Huh, sounds interesting but..." Kyoya did not look impressed in the slightest. "To do that, you'd need the approval of all the Committee members of this school."

"I already have." Huh...no she did not, it was the first time I ever met her. "By force." She showed a few pictures of guys beaten up. With a closer look, she did have her own armband.

"Wow." Wait what? Did Kyoya just say 'wow' to that...to this stuck-up? She...was it what she said or her looks?

Seriously Luciana, shut up.

"Looks like you wouldn't give up, even if I rejected the proposal," Kyoya noted, getting up.

"Of course, I would use of force to make you see my way." She started to get in position as well.

"Wait up you two!" I said, stepping up between Kyoya and his female counterpart, my hands in the air. "Don't fight here."

"Why not?" the girl asked me. I looked at her.

"Everybody knows of the Disciplinary Committee and fears it. If you beat Kyoya fair and square in plain sight, then you'll win the school without him being able to do anything. Just wait tomorrow to have...an audience?" Well, for something I came up with on the spot it was quite logical.

She scoffed in disdain, looking down at me.

"Fine. Tomorrow before the first class starts." She turned around and left, her hair whipping the air behind her.

Was she rolling her hips on purpose?

"Interesting," Kyoya commented once the door was closed.

"Bitch," I said with venom at the same time. I looked at him above my shoulder with wide eyes. He seemed surprised at my insult. "What's interesting about her?"

"She's different from other girls."

Huh. I see.

I glared daggers at him without realizing it. He raised a brow at me.

"Wh…" I stormed off.

There was anger bubbling inside of me and although I kept repeating myself it was not jealousy, because only trash were jealous, I knew I was jealous of that Adelheid. What was it about her? She was tall, sure, and fit as well, and pretty, and confident and…

I stopped in an empty hallway and looked down at my breast. I grabbed them and gave them a squeeze before sighing.

Was it what it was?

She seemed around my age but puberty seemed to be working slower on my side.

Was Kyoya into big breast? I mean, a lot of guys were, right? And he was sixteen and a half, puberty and all that shit probably…

"Huh...Lulu, what are you doing?" I leaned my head against Arro's shoulder. "Alone with a creepy face in the hallway and now this?"

"Do you think my breast are small?" He pulled me back and looked down at my chest.

"Well...they're normal I guess? Not huge but you see you have boobs. But it's nothing next to the girl who walked past me a few minutes ago, she had huge tits!" I groaned and walked away. "What did I say!?"

"You're all the same anyway!" I yelled at him angrily.

The next day, I was on the roof with Arro, watching Kyoya and Adleheid facing each other. Arro was clearly checking her out. Quickly, Tsunayoshi's gang and all of the transferred ones were there. Kyoya let out his killer intent, wanting to prove her he was...the one to rule this place.

Adelheid ran at him, getting two metallic fans from under her skirt. Don't ask me where exactly they were because from the shortness of the skirt, I wouldn't know either.

I frowned at the fight. Kyoya was avoiding each blow, but that girl knew what she was doing. I shot a quick look at the other Shimon students, who were far from impressed. They were impressed by Kyoya.

My eyes briefly caught another pair of red eyes, but the pupils looked more like a compass than anything else. He noticed I was looking at him and blushed in shame, lowering his head and looking away.

Seeing her fight made me self-conscious though. Not her skills, but it was more about the fact she didn't care she was wearing a skirt with nothing underneath, flashing her panties to whoever was there to see them. I elbowed Arro in the ribs when he started to snicker to himself, his cheeks dusted by a faint blush.

Couldn't she have pick another target than Kyoya?

Wait, Kyoya was not mine! Just...just because there were times where we were close, or that we shared a bed more than once did not mean he was mine. We...we were not dating or anything, he was not boyfriend, was he? It wasn't as if we had kissed either, except for when Dino was being an idiot and threw me in him almost a year ago.

He just liked using me as a pillow.

"Poor Sawada," Arro mumbled with actual pity.

I blinked. Tsunayoshi was between Kyoya and Adelheid, his two cheeks bruised.

"Hey you, what are you doing?"

"You're still alive?" the girl asked in shock.

Turned out the Shimon were a Mafia Family very small, so small Reborn had never heard of them. Neither had I.

As they started to...get excited about the Ceremony, Reborn started to list some Families coming to Japan. Like the Trad6 Family, the Leilei Brothers from China or the Giegue…

The Giegues, great.

Did they move on from me killing one of their own?

"Luciana," Reborn said. "There is a chance you might be the one to welcome the Giegues for obvious reasons." I chose to ignore the curious stares thrown my way. Arro stepped a little forward, a foot in front of me, obviously telling everyone to back off.

"Alright."

"And two teenagers you know will come to represent your Family as well Arro, Jeremiah and Zelia." He widened his eyes.

"Huh...shit." The others started leaving and I pulled on the sleeve of his navy blue cardigan to turn him around.

"What? Shouldn't you be happy?"

"...I've never called them." I frowned. "I grabbed the first flight without telling anyone when you went to Vendicare and...never called them, or texted, or anything. The only contact I've had was with my Boss." He shook his head to clear it from his thoughts. "But did you see it as well?"

"Saw what?"

"She used flames," Kyoya stated, now next to us.

"Did she now?" I replied dryly.

"You were spacing out during the fight," Arro commented and I shrugged.

I grabbed the tonfa about to poke my cheek. Kyoya frowned in front of my glare.

"If you're angry then state a reason," he hissed at me. I turned my head away and walked away.

"Lulu!"

"There will be an abundance of people coming in town, stay on your guards."

I went to the girls bathroom and leaned on the sink, looking at myself in the mirror.

I was being a bitch to Kyoya, wasn't I?

I narrowed my eyes at my reflection. I took off my glasses to see if they were the cause or not.

I was paler than usual. My appetite was not at its best either. I probably should tell Shamal.

I was supposed to see him in a couple of days anyway, might as well wait a little bit longer to see if it would pass. Maybe it was just a cold.

Later that day, I spotted Tsunayoshi leaving school. I ran to him to catch up.

"Hey Decimo."

"Don't call me that," he sulked, his head low. "How old was Dino-san when he became the Boss?"

"He was fifteen but it was totally different. Our dad had passed away and it pushed Dino into his shoes. Not only that, even if he didn't want to inherit Dad, my brother grew up in that environment. Sure, he didn't go through the same battles you did, but when it came to political matters and such, Reborn had less to teach him."

"You think the Ninth is making a mistake," he told me. I nodded.

"That old man just wants to retire. He's as selfish as ever." Tsunayoshi stared at me in shock. I sniffed. "Don't look so surprised. After everything that went down between him and Xanxus, plus my own problems with him, it's no surprise I don't like him. There are times where I don't even respect him."

"I don't want to inherit this Family but everyone is so excited senpai..." I ruffled his hair.

"Then tell the Ninth. Anyway, I wanted to know how you were doing since we came back." He blinked and looked down, hands clenched.

"Reborn...he told me I would have to learn how to deal with it. That there was no other option but killing him because of how powerful and knowledgeable he was."

"If you need to, don't hesitate to call Dino." As he started to head to Namimori Shrine, I waved at him and turned left.

I went to the check point. I shivered when I was close by, a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I ran to the cabin and widened my eyes at Li, unconscious on the ground, a wound in his back.

"Shit!" I ran to him and knelt, immediately checking his pulse. I sighed in relief when I felt it and called for an ambulance.

They didn't take long to arrive, but while I was waiting for them I felt watched. I actually turned around abruptly as Li was on the stretcher, being carried in the ambulance. It was...bad, evil, oppressing, powerful…

Old I would even say. I didn't have my guns on me, so I just stared at a spot in the bushes and trees.

"Miss." I almost had a heart attack at Alaric running toward me. I raised my hand to my heart and glared at him, but he frowned at the blood tainting the grass.

"Li was attacked, where were you?" I asked him rather harshly. He clicked his tongue, knowing he could have been useful here.

"I felt something, or someone, lurking around and I followed it." He pursed his lips. "I shouldn't have." I looked back at the spot I was staring at.

"Something is lurking around." I pulled my phone from my school bag. "Call Iemitsu, I'll call Fon."

"The Inheritance Ceremony hasn't even begun," he sighed.

When Reborn came an hour later, saying there had been an assassination attempt on Tsunayoshi, I wasn't really surprised.

"Tsuna dealt with it easily but...there's blood outside by the way." I nodded stiffly.

"Li was attacked, he's in the hospital. I called Arro to ask him to go check on him. Iemitsu and Fon have been contacted. Fon told us he would come. Again."

"I've felt something so I left Li to check it out but...he got attacked. It was most likely to make me leave."

"Does he use flames?" I shook my head.

"He's an extremely talented martial artist, more than I am, but as far as I know he doesn't. However, if someone attacked him, it's possible they did so because he refused to let them in Namimori." I pursed my lips, not liking the other guess. "Or the responsible party is already in Namimori and wanted to...make us believe they just arrived."

"I personally think it's the second guess." I raised a brow at Reborn. "Alaric, did you notice anything about the Shimons?"

"Not really, they seem to be pretty regular students, if we leave the fact each of them gets along or has common points with each of the Decimo's Guardians out."

"Keep an eye on them at school. With the attempt on Tsuna's life, I think I can suggest something to make them spend time together and keep a close eye on them."

"The Shimon Family?" I mumbled under my breath. I knew I didn't like that Adelheid for a good reason.

I glared daggers at Reborn and his smirk.

"I'm going home." Unfortunately, Reborn jumped on my shoulder. "Just don't speak."

"You're jealous Hibari has another girl in his life?" I blushed furiously, half in embarrassment, half in anger. "More seriously, how are your exams going? You're pale Luciana."

"It's going, Shamal is drawing a blood sample, well several, tomorrow. He also asked me to pee in a cup tomorrow morning before eating."

"You know that depending on the results I'll have to call Dino." I sighed.

"There's no need to worry him for now."

I swear to God, I didn't know whose idea it was to make me pick up my class' now clean gym clothes but I would have my revenge. I knew it was one of the chores a Japanese student had, at least I guess but…

I raised my head from the clothes dryer when I heard the door being locked.

I froze when I noticed Kyoya leaning against it, clearly unhappy about something.

"I'm busy."

"I don't care." I got up, dropping the clothes in the hamper before walking up to him.

"Let me go."

"No." I rolled my eyes, ready to reply something but I found myself pinned to the wall, Kyoya's arms trapping me between it and his body. "You're pissing me off."

"How so?"

"You've been avoiding me and angry. Tell me why." I averted my eyes to the side. "I don't want Arroganza to be right, so give me a reason now." He clicked his tongue when I stubbornly kept looking away. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "Don't tell me you're jealous of that herbivore." I blinked in surprise. Should I deny it or not? If I denied it and he saw right through it, he would be pissed.

"So?" He blinked in surprise. I looked away, turning my head on my right.

Then, at my utter surprise, he chuckled.

"It's not funn..." I didn't finish my sentence because he blew in my ear. I grabbed the bottom of his sweater vest, my cheeks heating up.

One of his arm slipped in my lower back and brought me closer to his body, his other hand turning my face so that it was facing him before it was buried in my hair. His eyes were staring intensively at me.

"You're stupid."

"Huh?"

"Why are jealous of her?" I looked down, suddenly feeling stupid indeed.

"Just...she has big...and...and you said 'wow' and..."

"That's it?" he asked me with narrowed eyes. "It's all it took to make you jealous?"

"I don't like it either and I know it's stupid okay!" He sighed.

"How do I call you?"

"How is that relevant?"

"Answer."

"Carnivore?"

"And?" I realized where he was going with this.

"...and Luciana, you call me by my name," I mumbled almost shyly, almost like a kid caught red-handed.

"Draw your own conclusions then." I shivered when he started kissing me in the neck.

I grabbed his top in his back, drawing him closer to me so that our bodies were pressed together. The arm in my back went down until his hand rested on my butt, squeezing it deliciously.

I moaned quietly in his ear when he did that. His tongue was immediately in my ear. My lower stomach started to get hot. Unconsciously, I pushed my hips into his.

I distinctively heard him groaning in my ear before he started to give my butt more attention.

"Kyoya..." I moaned once again, breathing faster. He moved his lips closer to mine but stopped at the last second.

I tried to finally get my kiss but he pulled back.

"Why?" I whined weakly. He smirked smugly.

"Punishment." I opened my mouth to say something but he kissed my forehead before leaving.

"...jerk..." I mumbled to myself. I let myself slid against the wall, a hand on my beating heart and a stupid, yet relieved smile on my face. "He's such a jerk."

Later that day, I was kidnapped.

Really, I was kidnapped. Sure, it was Ganauche and Visconti, aka Lightning and Cloud Guardians to the one and only Vongola Ninth, but still. They had the decency to wait at the corner of the street, even if the car they had was black, shiny and expensive.

It meant the Ninth was in town though. Yay.

"I didn't do anything," I droned once in the backseat of the car, all alone.

Don't get me wrong, I was familiar with all of the Ninth's Guardians. As Federico's Cloud, I kind of had to. Ganauche was the youngest and chillest, he liked teasing me each time I was at the mansion, whereas Visconti was my senior as the Cloud Guardian and would...teach me...things a Guardian should know.

Sure, CEDEF and Reborn taught me a lot about the Vongolas. However, there was a lot he taught me too, information not available to anyone that I was allowed to know because of my job.

In spite of his harsh looks, he really seemed to care about me learning and doing well.

Basically, they were the only two I liked out of the six and funny enough, they were the ones sent.

"Who said anything about something you've done?" Ganauche replied with a smirk.

"I don't see any reason the Ninth would want to see me." Visconti shot me a look in the rear-view mirror. I leaned back in the seat and looked outside.

"You haven't done anything bad, so you won't be lectured," the Lightning reassured me.

Good news I guess?

With no surprise, it was the most expensive hotel in town. Everybody stopped talking when we entered the suite. The Ninth even got up from his chair at my sight.

"Luciana."

"...Ninth," I replied. Insulting him in front of his Guardians was not wise.

"Would you give me a hand?" I deadpanned at what he showed with his thumb.

Plants.

He had brought a freaking greenhouse with him.

"You asked these two to kidnap me to help you tend to your garden!?" Coyotte glared at me.

"I thought talking while doing something else would make it more welcoming." Ganauche snickered.

I was pretty much forced to do so in the end. I had thick gloves but it was annoying, especially with Timoteo apparently in a good mood.

"Uni gave me memories of the battle against Byakuran," he started casually, "you were hurt trying to protect Tsunayoshi-kun."

"So? I did what I had to do."

"You did a good job." I sniffed in disdain.

"My Boss already told me that, no offense but I care more about his opinion than yours." He chuckled humorlessly.

"I'm sure you do." I was half expecting him to bring up the Mare Rings, but he decided to talk about something else. "How is my son?"

"Can't you call him?"

"I'm afraid he doesn't want to talk to me for now. You see, he's not happy with the fact I didn't tell him you were alive."

"With reasons," I added with a frown. "Why didn't you?"

"He was...not in the right mindset. With what you had been through, I feared he might be a bad influence on you whereas the Cavallones were taking care of you. On the other hand, he might have just taken you away without asking consent."

"You don't know that," I whispered, knowing that at the time Xanxus was not okay in his head.

"I guess we'll never know." I sighed. "The Giegues have a lead on who is after Tsunayoshi-kun's life. They'll attack tomorrow morning, at around seven a.m., at the construction site in Namimori. I would like for you to go there with Ganauche and help if necessary."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Part of the reason why they want to take care of it is to make up for the incident in Moscow three years ago."

Three years? Three years and a half by now maybe but...it felt like it was way older than that. However, I received the Cloud Vongola Ring shortly after, and Federico died...two years ago.

It felt like it was ten years ago. I mean, my life today was totally different than it was back then.

"Does he know where I live?"

"Don't worry about this." I nodded and got up.

"I think Tsunayoshi is nowhere near ready for the job Timoteo." On this note, I left.

The next morning, I froze in my steps, like Ganauche, at the display in front of us. The three Giegues were on the ground, lying in pool of blood, their bodies twisted in weird position. I gulped and followed Ganauche who checked the pulse of three, sighing in defeat at the end.

"All dead."

"Did they have families?" I whispered weakly. He shot me a look above his shoulder while looking for his phone inside his coat.

"We will take care of calling them once the Ceremony is over and we have the culprits." Timoteo said they wanted to make it up to the Vongolas for Moscow...and it killed them.

Damn, they had nothing to do with the Ceremony. I knew it was the Mafia, it was how it worked but...it pissed me off. The killer might have acted in self defense but still.

They were still running free and who knew who the next target was.

"You're bleeding." I blinked at Ganauche. "Your nose it bleeding." I touched it, my fingers now tinted in red.

Ganauche caught me when my legs stopped working.

"Hey what are you doing now? You've got a blood pressure problem?"

"Huh...take me to the hospital and get Shamal to come. It's...it's an emergency."

I should have gone to him when I realized I had weird symptoms like he told me to instead of convincing myself it was a mere cold.
