Disclaimer: Katekyou Hitman Reborn belongs to Amano Akira and its related companies; I only borrow the characters in the manga/ anime. Please enjoy reading it!
Author's Note: I'm sorry for being late. Actually, I decided to put this story on hold due to my intention of entering a manga competition. However, something unexpected happened that affected my health terribly that I couldn't even done both! I'll tell you people at the end notes what exactly happened, and it's not that good either.
This chapter also won't have any Tsuna's stories (because in Day 12 of his disappearing, Tsuna ended up in coma due to his failed suicide, which is the same day as Hibari's mission start) but don't worry, there is something interesting that worth to read.
Review Replies: Thank you to everyone who reviewing the last chapter, I'm very grateful! Still need to reply especially for those who had some questions…yeah hahaha…!
RazenshiaSapphire1306: Thanks for your information! I really appreciate it!
Yukiko: I already update so please read it my dear. XD
Haru Desu: Thanks for the suggestion Haru-san, but despite what had happened…I guess I had to do lots of backups huh? Urgh, time to buy another external HD…
D C JoKeR H S: Yeah, please pray that Hibari won't appear in front of me out of nowhere and 'bite you to death' like he always do or I'll die for sure!
Thanks for your words, I really appreciate them. Hopefully you're in good day too.
Lolitagirl.2015b: Well….I don't know if I can say Hibari is a poor guy... *SWEAT DROPS* Thanks for your review, I really appreciate it!
Yue: Oh my, thank you again for re-reading this story! There are lots of chapters to read! I'm happy that you're reading this story again, thank you.
Oh my…I'm speechless, actually not realized making such dramas until you mention it! Haha, thanks for that my dear! I'll try my best making this story and I hope you'll continue read this story as well.
Mooniesgurl1248: Wow… you're one of the few readers that wrote down such magnificent reviews! I really appreciate it! I'm actually had to refer to my previous stories for reference, since one of them had the same kind of situation in the DU story (different fandom though).
To be honest, I always try to make this story based on real life perspective; I mean, just because there are lots of stories about Tsuna being abandon for accidental killing, why should I follow the same idea? Besides, showing how fragile Tsuna that way (in this story) is much better than people other than 10th Generation Guardians help him escape or transport into the past. Of course, the original idea actually not as much as now, but I think that without additional elements the story won't be able to explain to the readers why everything happened in the way we know until know.
Hahaha, calm down my dear. If you do that, they will collapse and will not wake up! And I can't write their stories either. XD By the way, thanks for your support and for reading this story, I really appreciate it.
Akumubride: Yeah, finally update! Thanks for reviewing this story again, miss bride!
Indeed, Hibari had a lover, but I guess you people had to wait for the revelation, just like Suzume gehehe…!
Frwt: Indeed, it seems like the problem had become troublesome to deal more than before.
Do you mean that the two girls that supposedly in auction? Yes, those girls are the one Suzume was talk about to Reborn and the others.
Summary: He left. Framed with a crime he never did, he believes nobody would never forgive and remember him so he left the family. But little did he know that everyone had been tracing his footsteps ever since he was gone...
Destination 15: Mystery Invites Mystery
Secrets Make Women Beautiful,
But Secrets Make Men What…?
-Autumn, Late Night of October 2, Bonfilio Mansion; Day 11 of Tsuna's Disappearing-
It was eerily quiet.
The ride on the limousine was unexpectedly quiet that it almost terrifying; that was what Avan felt as he drove the long car back to his family's mansion. None of the members who involved in the mission said anything, especially Suzume who was sitting near the window with a fainted woman in her arms, although her face was covered with coat.
Suzume's expression was terrified tense; her black eyes shone with suppress anger while having something at the back of her mind. Her murderous aura, although just barely, was enough to make Avan and his subordinate remained silent; too afraid to ask about the mission they just ended. Even Reborn did not say anything and sat quietly with his lover Bianchi. Both Fon and Mammon rode with another car, but Avan believed that both of them must realize about this tense situation either.
As they reached the Bonfilio Mansion, a sudden ringing slowly heard and, glancing through the mirror, Avan saw Suzume slowly pulled out a blue metallic phone; the one he surely did not see it before, and answer the call.
"This is Suzume." Stern, but powerful; as if she was holding a full authority towards someone. She silently listened to the other side of the phone when her eyes suddenly widened with shock.
"Are you sure about this?" She asked, and waited for a while. "Thanks. I'll contact you after this. Got some 'souvenir' for myself." A shriek was heard but Suzume just chuckle a little; an expression that gave Avan and the others a bit relief. "Just kidding, thanks for the help. Bye."
The limousine finally stopped at the main entrance as Suzume ended her call. Calmly opened the door, she went out with the unconscious woman in her arms; carrying in bridal style. As soon as the second limo arrived, some people came out from the main door and revealed the Bonfilio family and the people from the Vongola.
"How's the mission?" Asked Ella before her eyes landed on the person covered with coat in Suzume's arms. "And who's that, Suzume-san?"
"My souvenir," She said calmly as she past the group, ignoring the shock expression of the people. She did stop her movements, as she turned around and say, "Everyone just go straight to the bed, I don't think I had enough energy to stay up anymore."
Everyone was startled before quickly dismissed they. Of course, some of them were helping Reborn and others with the things they used in the last mission, but Reborn could feel that Hibari was looking at his cousin with curiousity increased in his heart. Reborn just patted his shoulder and told him to listen to his cousin, since obviously she was not in good mood.
As Reborn changed into his pajama and went to the bed with Bianchi (whom he told to get some sleep before him), he looked at the device that contained lots of information they had stolen from the hotel, and the secrets Suzume had revealed.
"Damn it Suzume," He said as he laid himself next to Bianchi. "I'm sure Hibari would piss off upon hearing the truth even though you're his cousin…!"
-Autumn, Night of October 3, Bonfilio Mansion, Rome; Day 12 of Tsuna's Disappearing-
Suzume placed down the unconscious woman on the bed, and retreated herself for a late night shower. After spending some time to wash herself, she walked off from the bathroom still wet from the cold shower.
Glanced at her right and left, she raised her right hand and slowly, her point finger was glowing. She quickly drew some symbols in the air before all of them changed into a group of dim-light shikigami birds. She pulled out a paper spell and threw it up in the air, chanting several words.
"Go and purify the evils that been affected this household!"
All the birds went out from her room and towards the directions only they knew. Suzume looked at her cellphone and typed something, before throwing another paper spell onto the glass window.
"Well then…" She said, as she flopped herself on the bed without awakening the other girl. She flipped her blue metallic phone, and typed her message faster before send it to someone, smirking the whole process.
"Let's see if those traitors can deal with these unexpected attacks…!"
-Autumn, Early Dawn of October 03, Andou Kazumasa's Household, Namimori, Japan; Day 12 of Tsuna's disappearing-
Arashi woke up to the sound of buzzing that came from his phone and struggled to get a hold on it. His journey from Kyoto actually had taking a toll on his body despite managed to reach Andy's house without any problems. Kakeru was sleeping soundly next to him while Andy has long pass out at his study room; probably too tired after doing every tasks that his sister had ask from him.
He opened his eyes as he read the message before suddenly sat up, felt shock with the contents. He already made plan of visiting the unconscious Tsuna at Namimori General Hospital as fast as he could that day after reaching Namimori, but apparently he had to devise his plan again due to the message he just received. He was shock because Suzume had made a request that he believed she would rather die than asking for it, which led him to this conclusion:
She had reached her limit; both physical and mental.
If she pushed her self again, she will collapsed, and ruined everything they had plan so far.
Arashi won't let it happen.
He won't.
Definitely.
However, it also made Arashi felt sad because his sister still unable to forgot what had happen to her that she refused to ask straight towards "that man"; incident that ruins everything in her life as well as Arashi…
And destroyed her only dream to be with the man that she loved.
Arashi yawned as he rose up and left the room, getting a glass of water. He then proceed to the living room and opened the sliding door, feeling the cold air in the morning. Releasing his breath, he slowly scrolled down the numbers in his contacts until he found the one that he wanted. His heart was beating faster than before; it had been 4 years since he talked with "that man" after the incident happened and it made him nervous, because he too, was angry with him for betraying his sister who was in between life and death that time…
But he is the only one with "that special ability", and you definitely need his help for this.
Closing his eyes as a form of defeat, he finally call the number and waiting for him to answer before he mentally kicked himself; it still dark and everyone is still asleep! Surely that guy won't answer it!
"Hello…" Arashi opened his eyes in surprise as he never expected that man is already awake! He then remembered that he also had a good instinct, almost as good as Tsuna…perhaps he already knows that something is about to happen that enough for him to wake up so early…
"…Is this Arashi-kun?"
His voice still soft and gentle…It almost hard to believe it was the same person who let his sister almost died after knowing that he had someone else other than Suzume. Arashi felt that he was unable to say anything, so hard to say as if something was sewing his lips. He closed his eyes, trying to calm his frantic heartbeats before the man said again;
"…I know it's you." He released his breathe as he tried to construct words he wanted to say.
"Is something the matter?"
"…Yeah…" He was nervous, he felt hard to breathe. To think that he will talking with the man that he swore not to meet again, 4 years ago…it was hard, but he needed to do it for the sake of his sister…
He had to do it.
He could hear small but gentle chuckles from the phone, as if he could see he was smiling gently to him, "Is there anything that I can help you, Arashi-kun?"
"…I need you to do me a favour…" He said, trying his best not to cry.
Oh God, this is a torture…
"For you or for Suzu (1)?"
Suzu…that was Suzume's nickname especially for him. Nobody was allowed to cell her like that, even the late Suzuran was not allowed to adopt the name since people sometimes called her as 'Ran'. It was Suzume's special name, and only selected people can called like that. Arashi closed his eyes, trying to suppress the sadness that slowly boiling within him.
Why it has to be like this?
"Do me a favour, for me and nee-san!" He said, letting his tears fell down. He finally lost his battle to his sadness, just letting them fell down from his eyes. "Or otherwise someone else will be in danger, and we don't want to lose him, or everyone who is very important to him!"
"…Fine…" He said, after a long pause.
"However, in exchange for that, I need to know where you are now…" Arashi wiped his tears as he felt someone was touching his shoulder. No need to see who, it was Andy.
Why…
"…And I want you to hear my explanations."
Everything ends up like this?
Suppressing his sobs, he just let Andy took his phone, and answered for him.
"Fine. Come to Namimori as fast as you can and bring some changes, I'll send you the address. I want to know as well…"
"…Andy?"
"Who else?"
Arashi let himself leaned against the doctor, who told the other person on the phone with stern yet calm tone, "Now tell us…Why did you decide to betray Suzume with other woman while she's fighting for her life during "that scandalous incident, 4 years ago"…"
"Moriyama Atsushi-kun?"
-At the same time, autumn, Night of October 3, somewhere in Italy; Day 12 of Tsuna's Disappearing -
He stared at the sigils in front of him with shock.
Everything written on the sigils were destroyed up to the point it was no longer seen as symbols; everything was crumble to pieces, dust, earth…nothing had left. The spells he put within the sigils were destroyed without leaving anything left. Even his men had become the victim of the explosion done by the aftermath of the rejection spell. Some of them were crushed to the wall; some passed out due to the impact, some were moaning in pain.
Someone with a very strong power managed to crush his spells that he put on the Bonfilio Family!
Darius Doneiro pinched his nose with frustration; all of his hard work to conquer the Bonfilio ground was crush to pieces! The spell was hard enough to finish, and to make it again it will take a large amount of his energy and time! He should realize that there is a shaman within the said ground, but unfortunately he was unable to detect or know who this person is.
"How's everyone…" He said as he looked around.
"Some of us already pass out, boss. Damn, this rejection is really strong…oww…!" Said one man as he tried to move his left hand but fail.
"How about Adonis?"
"Pass out as well but with minor injuries. He will be alright." Darius sighed as he looked at the young man named Adonis. He fainted, but aside from small bump on his forehead and bruises, nothing fatal on him.
He ordered his men to clean up the mess and carrying the fainted people to other room while he left the said area. He was thinking that he should call the client about the mess he was facing now, about his plan to tell the client just let go of the Bonfilio Family. While he knew the client would be furious with him, he decided that it was the best solution for the time being. He knew it was the time for his client's downfall, but decided to play along the way.
For him, making sure that Adonis did not die is better than his client's situation. Adonis was like an insurance or guarantee for something only he knew, and he had to make sure that guy won't lost from his sight, or death. That client was bound to fall down due to the wick business he had done the whole time; it was the prediction he had seen when he met the client for the first time.
He just didn't know who and what will causing his client to fall horribly, despite his prediction.
-Autumn, Night of October 03, Bonfilio Mansion, Rome, Italy; Day 12 of Tsuna's disappearing-
Suzume read the information that she had after woke up from her sleep. Supposedly she had been asleep at least 8 hours; means that it should be morning, however as she glanced at the clock, it was still at 1.45 a.m. Yes, it's been 8 hours since the last night mission, but the sky still dark and the clock seemed not moving.
….
…
..
.
That's right.
The time is currently 'on hold'.
It means that her request had been granted but at unknown cost.
She was wandering if anyone other than her 'inner circle' had realize it even though she knew it was impossible. However, she knew she shouldn't underestimated the World's Greatest Hitman named Reborn, as well as the World's Martial Arts Master named Fon (who is also her relative). They both had sharp senses and very alert towards their surrounding; surely they knew something was not right. Especially since last night she said she had no energy to spend for small chit-chat yet looking all fresh and energetic the next day.
Surely they would suspicious about her right?
After spending 10 minutes thinking and battling with her inner thought, finally Suzume gave up and decided that she had to cover up everything with 'already used to wake up for meditation and drinking at least 3 bottles of sport drinks to cover her exhaustion' fact.
What else she could use for excuses, especially dealing with those annoying old men?
Both Reborn and Fon sneezed in their sleep!
Suzume typed on her laptop, checking any recent emails from Andy. Aside from the blueprints of the Aerial Hotel and some information regarding officials in Rome before the infiltration, apparently Andy did not send anything. She guess the shock about Tsunayoshi's attempt suicide had given him huge impact; it's rare to hear him crying while on the phone, and after her mission ended Andy called her about Arashi's plan to move him and their nephew Kakeru to Namimori, saying that Seiryuu had inform him about the bad news.
She took off her glasses and sighed tiredly. Despite already having her sleep, she still feels tired. She never expected Tsuna would choose to commit suicide. He was a strong man, and she believed something must had happened that caused him to do such action. Many things had happened; from the already plan to the unexpected one, she still had to rearrange the plan that she devised before. Especially since, she had decided to make unexpected move by buying two human-trafficking victims while in the mission. Surely, Reborn and Fon, as well as Bianchi, Avan and Waldo would question her where she got the money. 16 Million Euros were not a small amount, and with the sudden attendant she had, everyone surely made a ruckus about this. She leaned against the chair when she heard rustles from the bed, and realized the girl she brought in was changing her sleeping position.
It was a lie if she said she did not know who this girl is. However, she had to put the question aside as she heard new emails entering hers. She quickly clicked the first one, and it was information about officers in Italian DIA.
Arashi had made the request you ask him do for, but he's crying after that. You should tell us that you need help, and I will do it for you regarding your request. That guy seems to know from who it was…
Ah…she did not expect her brother to cry although she knew her identity will be easily known by that guy…Nevertheless, the request had been carried. Still, she feel bad with her brother…
By the way, these are list of the Officers in DIA and guess what? One of the officers is one of the international investigators that got involved with "that case" 4 years ago. Interestingly, she's actually got into several fights with her superior named Antonio Vasque when it comes to investigate illegal prostitution as well as human-trafficking activities in Rome. It seemed like Vasque refused to do sudden inspection in some routes or areas in Rome despite countless of reports and witnesses.
Antonio Vasque…where the heck did she hear that name before?
Oh…right…that S.O.B she met during the infiltration mission last night.
I hacked into many devices among her colleagues, checking their entries and out logs as well as their conversation. It seems like her younger sister disappeared not long after the daughter of Bonfilio Family was kidnaped and in the same area as well. Aside from the missing people, it appears that there is more than just business of prostitution. By the way, I'm currently extracting the information gain from the devices you gave to your companions last night and believe me, the info are not that beautiful. Here is the name of the officer I think you should meet and ask for cooperation, based on the current situation and past relation as well:
Mariska Tunnie
Alfonso de Festivos…
The list goes on as Suzume decided to open another task bar for the next email. The second email contained information of the victims that being sold or trafficking, but when she opened the third one, her eyes when wide.
Inside the email was the list of children and infants being sold in the black market with trading and agents around the world!
Suzume quickly grabbed a printer that was put into the room upon her request and started printing the information. No wonder why Andy was not happy with the founding, she believed the next mails sent by Andy are far worse than what she had read. However, her eyes did not fail to see a silver chain around the girl's neck (who's sleeping on the bed), attached with a ring craved with 'T to H' words while waiting for the papers to be print.
She felt that she had seen the ring somewhere but unable to remember when she saw it…
She sat silently while watching the fallen leaves above her.
She pushed the stray hair that slowly covered her face, done by the breeze that gently hit her form. She saw the baseball team was practicing with its entire member, however only one person who really caught her attention. He was a first year student just like her, but very popular even to the upper classmen that it was not a surprise to see many admirers of him standing at the field. Not only due to his cheerfulness and talkative personality, he also good-looking, active and tall; the assets that the girls dreamt as their boyfriend's traits.
She sighed as she touched her high ponytail. Despite he was seen smiling to everyone, she could feel that his smile was a fake…
Totally plastic.
She was wondering if he was trying to please everyone and had to keep his feelings bottle up all the time. She did not like his 'plastic smile' ever since she saw him during their entrance ceremony, even now! It became worst when he joined the school's baseball team and soon became popular; even his good friends –one of them is called Sawada Tsunayoshi, if she was not mistake –tried to help him but it seemed like he too, was unable to say it. While she was disappointed with the result, at least Sawada-kun was trying his best to help him…
How annoying..!
When she started to walk away and encountered the group of stupid girls (that is what she calls the fan girls) crowding and acting all cute and weak in front of the baseball star, she had had enough. Seeing his plastic smile again and again, she went through the crowd; crushing some girls who cried in shock or mad (or both) and stood in front of him. The boy looked at her with surprise, asking what was wrong. And then…
"Stop being a hypocrite. That plastic smile of yours…"
"It's ugly!"
-Autumn, Morning of October 03, Bonfilio Mansion, Rome, Italy; Day 12 of Tsuna's disappearing-
Reborn woke up to the sounds of the running maids, carrying things or cleaning the windows. Reborn looked at the clock and realized it was 6.30 a.m. and apparently the maids woke up early to do their chores, probably did not disturbing the guests that staying at the mansion. He slowly woke up and gently nudged Bianchi so that she could wake up as well.
After a shower and dressed, both of them went to the dining room where the members slowly gathered for breakfast. When he pushed the door open, he saw almost everyone was in the respective seats…
…Except Suzume.
"Where's Suzume?" Asked Reborn as he and Bianchi took their seat. He also realized that Glenn was not available.
"Ah…she's already gone," Said Lambo as he ate his sausage.
"Gone to where?"
"Not sure…she said that she's going to the base for some investigation but she seems so rushing. I don't think it's just some work related…" Said Fran as he ate his spaghetti. "She also said that she'll come back around afternoon."
"When she goes out?" Asked Fon.
"About one hour ago…" Said Ella. "I saw her with Glenn while helping mother with breakfast."
Reborn did not say anything and started to eat his breakfast. For some reason, he had a feeling that Suzume was doing something that he believed much more surprising than what had happen last night. It also reminded him that Suzume must be tired, judging from the way she worked herself days before he and the others came to Rome for the current mission. Today was the important day, as it was for the next stage after last night's infiltration.
"At afternoon? Then…what about the girl she brought back last night?" Asked Ella as she looked at Bianchi. Not long after he said the words, Glenn suddenly burst into the dining room, shocking everyone in the room with his sudden
"Glenn!? What's wrong? Why are you…!" Avan was unable to ask his half-brother when Glenn said with nervous voice.
"E-E-E-EVERYONE! WWE-WE-WE GOT COMPANIES!"
"HUH!?" Said everyone, before Trevor slowly stood up from his seat. "What do you mean by 'companies' Glenn? Explain."
"It's-it's Suzume-san's doing! She called the DIA's officers so sudden and –BUHUAWK!"
Poor Glenn ended up kissing the wall (being punch) by none other than Katagiri Suzume, who's irritated stood behind with punch upside. The air dropped suddenly that enough to make several people to drop their things down except Ex-Arcobaleno and Hibari Kyouya.
"Stop being an idiot. How many times did I tell you Glenn, that this is a part of the planning?" Said Suzume as she glared coldly towards the young boy. She looked up and bowed a little to Trevor.
"I'm sorry for the ruckus, but I hope it didn't disturb your breakfast."
"Aah…It's alright, although I'm a bit shock. Oh, who are those people Suzume-kun?" Trevor glanced a little towards two figures behind Suzume, who seemed hesitated to come forward. Without any warning, Suzume just grabbed both of them without turning around and shoved them forward, shocking everyone with her actions. Reborn widening his eyes as he realized who they are.
"Meet two officers of Italian Direzione Investigativa Antimafia (2); Miss Mariska Tunnie and her partner Alfonso de Festivos," Said Suzume as she smirked. "They're going to collaborate with us for our mission."
Reborn stared at her with utter shock, Glenn almost fainted and everyone including Hibari was unable to say anything before…
"WWHHHAAAAAATTT!?"
..A loud scream echoed throughout the Bonfilio Mansion, before everything went upside down thanks to certain sadistic PA who was laughing her head off, unable to hold it anymore.
Despite how much disturbed Reborn was when he heard those hollow, lifeless laughs…?
-Autumn, October 03, Vongola Infirmary Wing, Vongola Mansion, Italy; Day 12 of Tsuna's disappearing-
Yamamoto opened his eyes slowly as he regained his consciousness. He felt his entire body was heavy; the throbbing pain in his left arm and other injuries added more heaviness to his hazy mind, but something had kept him from fall deep into a slumber.
That girl from his dream…the one with black eyes that surrounding with strong and independent personality. She was the his first love and the only girl he ever dated till now; he never dated anyone else after their separation no matter how many girls threw themselves to him. Perhaps he was dense too, the reason he always heard from Gokudera and surprisingly Mukuro, about the ladies' attempt despite his 'killer smile'. He had try to search for her not long after he went to Italy but for some reasons, he was unable to find her along with another girl.
"Are you awake?"
Yamamoto slowly glanced at his side and saw the Storm Guardian –Gokudera Hayato was sitting on the, holding a supernatural magazine; the interest that he still had until now. His green eyes covered with glasses looked at him calmly, as he slowly leaned down. "Is something wrong?"
Yamamoto closed his eyes before sighed, "Just…a dream…"
"A dream?"
"Yeah…" Yamamoto said as he held his head with right hand. "What had happen when I'm gone?"
"…Suzume-san had successfully reached the Rome Base," Said Gokudera after a long pause. "And even manage to meet the Bonfilio Family who's territory also in Rome."
"WHAT!? That Bonfilio Family?" Asked Yamamoto, shock.
"Yeah, the neutral family who's suddenly became our enemy six months ago. I don't know how she did it, but Suzume-san managed to meet Nono with Don Trevor and uncover their reasons of against us; apparently they thought we kidnap his daughter Annabelle but turns out someone else did it. Right now, Hibari and Reborn-san, as well as Aneki, Fon-san, Kusakabe, stupid cow (Lambo) and Ryohei went to Rome for the next mission."
Yamamoto chuckled a little as he said slowly, "Well…that's Suzume-san for you. She's really amazing, if you ask me. Considering how she managed everything and even investigating the case so far…"
Gokudera just smiled before he asked, "By the way Yamamoto…"
"What kind of dreams you had?"
Yamamoto did not say anything. He just stared before slowly, opened his mouth…
"My…first date…"
Gokudera widened his eyes as he realized what Yamamoto had dream. After such long time, it suddenly resurfaced…
"I don't know…why I had…dream it…" He said as his eyes grew heavy. "Maybe…maybe I just…miss her…"
"Miss…Ka…so much…"
Gokudera just remained silent as he watched his good friend slowly fell asleep, mumbling some words he did not know the details. Yet, his eyes became soft as he remembered their conversation, and slowly looked at the choker that lay on his palm. It was craved with words 'H to T' onto the ring instead of the pendant. Judging from the size, it was a woman's ring but Gokudera knew very well who the real owner of the ring was. He knew it because Yamamoto told him and Tsuna (as well as others) about his first date with a girl and how they decided to buy some souvenir for themselves before exchanged them. Shamal gave it to him after his treatment on Yamamoto after the attack; apparently Yamamoto still had it despite they already separated in the past.
He knew that Yamamoto really cherished this girl and he believed that the Rain Guardian still in love with her despite it was he who ended their relationship. Surely many girls hated her because she managed to stole Yamamoto's heart and even bullied her, before Hibari stepped in and 'bite the girls to death' (everyone was surprise to find out the news and wondering if that Hibari's way of showing his concern to others? After all the only people who are close to him despite Kusakabe and the Disciplinary Committee are Tsunagumi). However, it was not the only reason why they broke up.
It was far more horrible than people had thought, because it was related with the world they involved with and that girl was involved by accident, almost losing her life because of it. Yamamoto had to make painful decision by breaking up with her as a way of protecting her, on the day they graduated from high school and before moving (further study for friends and relatives) to Italy. Yamamoto was unable to take that matter very well; he ended up locked up himself in his room, refused to come out for several days. It took some time for Tsuna to talk to him before the said boy let Tsuna entered his room, comforting him. Gokudera never saw how miserable Yamamoto at that time; even when he received the news of his father's death during the future he still had a strong appearance and smiled. That girl surely very special to him that until now, he still had the ring after all these years.
"I wonder if one day, we'll find that girl of yours Yamamoto…" Gokudera said as he put the ring on the desk and adjusted himself, continuing his shift to watch over Yamamoto. He still had some time before Chrome and Mukuro's turn to look after the Rain Guardian…
-10.30 a.m., October 03, Vongola Rome Base, Rome, Italy; Day 12 of Tsuna's disappearing-
"Alright, start talking! What the hell are you trying to do Suzume?" Said one of the officers named Mariska Tunnie. Both her hands were handcuffed backside (courtesy of Hibari) along with her partner. Her brown hair and green eyes partner Alfonso de Festivos looked between the two women nervously. He knew his partner is famous for putting up brave acts during emergencies, however he worried that this time it would cause her own life…
…Since they were dealing with one of the Mafias in the Rome!
After these officers' sudden appeared at the Bonfilio Mansion, they got knock down suddenly and before they knew, they were somewhere within the Rome territory. They did not know where they were, or did they know they were in Vongola Base, but when they opened their eyes, they realized the people they saw were the same one they met before fainted.
Although some of them were missing.
The said woman sat calmly on the metal fence at the stage where a large, black piano was seen in the middle of the stage and computers. Reborn saw the piano and recalled that it was not even available when he first came to the base. Unlike before, the base was fully repaired and clean, more organized than before. The base was still dark, however there was some light entered the operation room. It still full with files, papers, photos, handwritings on the white board, which written in English language; the same scenery he saw when he came here for the first time. The windows were closed; the tables were pack with piles of papers, files, etc. The soft boards and white boards were filling with attaching papers, photos and writings, the small and large screens showed information, maps and videos, showing how much work had done in this big room.
Reborn sat not far from the stage with Bianchi, while others took their own positions. The two officers were tied up on chairs facing the expressionless woman. He realized that Mariska Tunnie recognized Suzume clearly, judging on how she easily called her name.
Could it be that they had met before?
"What do you want? Say something!" Screamed Mariska as she struggled to release herself.
"Doing that and you'll cut your hands," Said Suzume as she pulled the devices she took from Reborn and Fon before going to the base. "Mariska…"
She growled as she glared at Suzume, "The hell!? So you're with these Mafioso? Committing crimes just like them?"
"Don't compare me with those lowest scumbags that you mention just now Mariska, or I'll cut your tongue right now!" Everyone was startled at Suzume's cold voice with hints of anger. She jumped and walked closer to the officer, roughly grabbed Mariska's jaw. "These people are not like the one you always deal daily so keep that in mind!"
Reborn glanced at Hibari and realized he showed a hint of disturb after Suzume's sudden change of behavior. Reborn was wondering if Hibari knew something that he and the others didn't know when Mariska's high-pitch voice echoed in the base.
"So what!? Is this how you change your life after you left the police force 4 years ago? You should do better than this!"
Ahh…so that is how they met in the past. Suzume was once a police officer…
"As you already see Mariska," Suzume cynically smirked as she watched Mariska growled loudly. "I take you two here not because of trying to make you two as clowns. I want your cooperation in this plan."
"What kind of plan?" Asked Alfonso before Mariska managed to speak. She glared angrily to Alfonso while the said man just smiled in apologize.
Lussuria went to the stage along with Ryohei and Lambo, started to turn on the computer. He pushed a button and revealed a large screen in front of everyone, shocking the two officers in the process Suzume pulled out and wore a special made dark gloves and touched the screen, waving and pushing the visual to reveal a blueprints of Aerial Hotel.
"Isn't that Aerial hotel?" Asked Alfonso, shocked. "How do you get the blueprints?"
"As I thought…" She said, earning everyone's question glance. Suzume made a gesture to Hibari to release the officers, which he did. Both of them stood closer to each other after being released by Hibari.
Suzume did not wasting her time as she moved to the next phase. She grabbed a leather bag and rummaging for a while before pulling out several sets of papers and handed to everyone, including the officers who were released by Hibari.
"So you also investigating the case of human-trafficking at this hotel too, don't you Mariska?"
"Wha-how do you know that!?"
Raising the devices she hold before, she said with deep tone that enough to make everyone flinch minus Fon and Reborn, "Thanks to these things I manage to get the information that I want…"
"Along from a help of an old friend…" She said as suddenly dark visor covered her eyes. She pinched the right side of the visor and slowly, a dim, light-version of keyboard appeared in the air. "I asked him to search for any information related to the trafficking including if there are any officers that involved in this case and interestingly, both of your name showed up..!"
"Eh?" Everyone looked at the serious PA who slowly walked closer to Mariska and Alfonso.
"Mariska…" She raised her head, realized that she actually stood face-to-face with Suzume.
"Six months ago, in April, you sister Tamara was missing after she went back from school." Everyone gasped or shock to hear the revelation from Suzume, while Mariska widened her eyes in shock. "She's already 18, right? Apparently she was kidnaped around the time your daughter Annabelle went missing, Don Trevor."
"Eh? You mean…this boss also had his child kidnap?" Asked Alfonso, earning a glance from Reborn.
"What do you mean by that? Explain."
"It was…"
"Stop Al! Why are you trying to reveal the secret information to these people?" Said Mariska suddenly. "This is OUR job, not them!"
"No, we're related in each ways Mariska," Said Suzume, causing Mariska and Alfonso turned to her side. "Whether you like it or not, we both have the same goal: to get the mastermind of the human trafficking trading as well as the victims."
"I also got some interesting information about you Mariska," Said Suzume as she pushed the screen and revealed a profile of a man named Antonio Vasque. "You're actually got into several fights with your superior named Antonio Vasque when it comes to investigate illegal prostitution as well as human-trafficking activities in Rome. This thing happened many times even before Tamara went missing, and it seems getting worst after that. From what I got so far it seems like Vasque refused to do sudden inspection in some routes or areas in Rome despite countless of reports and witnesses."
"WHAT THE HELL TO THE EXTREME!?" Shouted Ryohei, angrily.
"Why he refuses to act when the reports had been made?" Asked Waldo, for the first time. Waldo was a calm and quiet person; rarely speaks, so it also shocked Suzume a bit when she heard his voice. "Sorry to say this, but from what I understand, he's probably hands-in-hands with the mastermind, isn't it!"
"I agree with that," Said Kikyou as both Glenn and Avan nodded.
"THAT'S RIGHT! HE'S TAKING BRIBES FROM THOSE BASTARDS SO THAT THE TRADING CAN GOES SMOOTHLY WITHOUT PROBLMES!" Cried Mariska, causing everyone including Suzume to flinch in shock. "I know that he's been abusing his powers as the superior to protect his own interest, and he's not hesitate to eliminate anyone that would become his obstacle!"
"You mean, you know all these but doing nothing?" Asked Lambo.
"You're wrong! It's not like that," Said Alfonso as he quickly held the breakdown Mariska closed to him. "We had investigated one case of a death prostitute one year ago."
Suzume narrowed her eyes as she realized what he was trying to say, "The victim is underage or adult with unknown nationality, no record of her being legally entered the country and her death body was dumped in some alley, am I right?"
"As expected of the former Superintendent Katagiri Suzume-san," Said Alfonso as he smiled sadly. "Your profiling ability is still sharp as ever."
"That's because my job is TO TAKE CARE CERTAIN TROUBLESOME KIDS back at my current workplace!" She said while glared at certain Guardians. "Still need to analyze if they're saying the truth or not!"
Alfonso was sweat-dropped.
"And when you say about a case…" Said Reborn as he titled his fedora. "Do you say that it's related to the current case you're investigating right now?"
"At first, we thought that it's just another ordinary refugee's problem…" Said Mariska as she tried to stop her sob. "But when we checked her background, she's actually a missing young woman from Brooklyn two years ago!"
"EH!?"
"Two years ago?" Asked Ryohei.
"Her name is Sheila Hummer," Said Mariska. "She was 24 when she died. We found evident of her being force into sexual intercourse as well as other mistreats she suffered, but then we found out that she's once a successful executive in one of the companies in Brooklyn."
"We're wondering how come someone as successful as hers can ended up being a street prostitute, but when her background information was arrived, it appeared that the company she worked was closed due to bankruptcy and she was forced to find another job. She was chased after by shark loans who claimed she had taken loans from them while in truth, it was her stepfather's fault. She then suddenly disappears not long after a close friend of her said that she received an offer to work overseas through unknown agent. Her name did not appear in any registers nor records in and out of the country. The case was declared unsolved, since no evident that could be used to find leads."
"But that's not the only issue that caused you acting like that in front of Vasque, isn't it?" Asked Suzume as she narrowed her eyes. "Something from autopsy that made you trying to investigate Miss Hummer's death deeper even after case closed…"
"You're right," Said Alfonso. "There's one record that wasn't show to us during the investigation; Sheila Hummer was pregnant before she was found death."
"She's pregnant?" Asked Avan, paled.
"Her body had the signs of being pregnant and giving birth," Said Mariska. "According to the coroner, at least two pregnancies and one miscarriage –apparently the later was the cause of her death due to loss of blood."
"Within two years she had two pregnancy and one miscarriage…" Said Bianchi with tense expression.
"That means the last one is unexpected," Said Fon.
"Who's the person in charge of the report? Why it was hidden?" Asked Glenn.
"Who else, it's Vasque himself," Said Alfonso annoyingly. "That bastard didn't mention this information during the investigation and the coroner told us how Vasque threatened him if he released it to the public. We finally understood why because he was one of her customers and we found his numbers in her phone!"
"And we quickly copied the evident before they got erased," Said Mariska.
"That's why you're related with this case Miss Tunnie…" Said Trevor as he shook his head. "So he might be participated with the kidnapping as a warning to you."
"The upper echelons didn't do anything about this?" Asked Suzume without looking anyone, hands moving fast on the screen.
"We can't. Vasque had make sure there are no one will be testified against him or any evident linked to him. And no, we did search for everything but so far, we only had the evident from the Hummer Case," Explained Mariska. "Even the coroner was missing not long after he told us. Besides, he had this charisma and good-looking face, plus no disciplinary records and he was known among them as a hardworking, dedicated officer."
"Wow~ such a good actor," Remarked Hibari cynically.
"Should win the Grammy Awards instead," Said Kikyou as he shook his head, agreed with Hibari. "He should changes his career."
There was a long silent before Mariska realized that the people she had speak were not what she thought as ordinary 'Mafioso'. However, it also made her feel curious as why these people wanted to meet her and seek cooperation from her?
As if she could hear her inner thought, Suzume spoke, "That's because it is a top secret mission."
"Top secret?" Asked Mariska. "What do you mean by that…Wait? No…Maybe I should ask this: why you choose me and Alfonso for cooperation?"
NOW everyone was staring to Suzume. Mariska had lightened up the matters that actually made everyone wonder; why these two people? Why they had to cooperate with police?
Why not just within the circle of the Underworld only?
"Why don't you people deal these by yourself? In terms of power and strength, surely you people are 10 times stronger than us, and must be very easy to deal than –"
WHAAM!
Suzume's sudden hit on the computer not far from her had caused everyone jump in surprise. Everyone slowly looked up at the expressionless woman whom face was lack of smile, only dark shadows covered her eyes. The large screen slowly went down and revealed some sort of profiles in front of them.
"THIS is what you ask for, Mariska," She said as she revealed to everyone, the information she had.
"!?"
"THIS IS…!?"
"UNBELIEVABLE TO THE EXTREME!"
"NO WAY!"
What these people had seen was the information of human-trafficking; the trading lines from international level, illegal prostitution, babies being sold in black market, the members of the organization, pictures and videos of women being raped, accounts of the smuggling list of the victims as well as the current information of the victims. Even big names in the world's politic were included in the list.
"What the hell…?" Said Avan, shocked. He did not expect to see such information in his life.
"Aren't these are the names of highly profile figures in Italy?" Asked Glenn as he looked at Suzume. "There are some of Europe's as well as from America! What are their relations to our plan?"
"For you information, these are what I got through this devices," Said Suzume as she showed the drives she had given to Reborn and Fon before. "These things gained lots of information more than I thought."
"Are you sure this is real?" Asked Reborn as he looked at Suzume. "With such limited time and we managed to gain this much information? I can't trust this is real unless you show me more proof…"
"Of how we can get this much information?" Asked Suzume as she smirked slyly. "Well, of course this is gathered by my friend, but the devices that I gave you and Fon-san are acting as some sort of wireless portal."
"Wireless portal?" Asked Lambo.
"There are bugs inside these devices," She said. "Of course, the capacity of this information is more than 32 GB, so instead of storing everything, plug-in the devices into the USB plot and when the computer recognizes the devices, then the bugs will start to infiltrate the computer." Everyone except Reborn, Mammon, Kikyou, Fon and Hibari showed sign of confusion, making Suzume chuckled a little. "Means that, the bugs can be considered as virus that affecting the computer. Also, lately there are always free wifi available in hotels right? Taking advantage by this free wifi, any computers that catch the signal will also been affected. The information that stored in these devices only contains the info of the workers as well as the recording of the CCTV."
"YOU SAY WHAT!? I tried to hack the system yesterday but I couldn't!" Cried Avan, surprised.
"This is the differences between professional and the amateur," Teased Suzume while Avan just sighed in defeat. "OK enough of that. Also, from what Bianchi and I had gathered on our side reveals the most prominent figure in this case."
"The most prominent figure?" Asked Fran and Lambo.
"Ceasar Lobos."
"WHAT!?"
"That…that famous businessman…Ceasar Lobos?" Asked Alfonso in disbelieve.
"You mean, the current owner of the Aerial hotel?" Asked Trevor, shocked as well.
"Wait…You mean, THAT Ceaser Lobos right, Suzume?" A question from Mariska earned Reborn's curiosity as if there was another meaning if the said man. Suzume nodded her head as she continued.
"Yes, he's the main figure of this Aerial Case."
"Aerial Case?"
"The name for our case AND mission," She explained as she continued. "By the way, back to the business. I'm asking your cooperation with this case because it had something to do with Don Trevor's daughter named Annabelle."
"Don's daughter?" Asked Mariska as Suzume typed on her floating keyboard, revealed the information of a young woman with long black hair and eyes and gentle expression. "Annabelle Bonfilio, age 24. The third child and the eldest daughter of the family. She disappeared last April during one raining day while leaving the Bonfilio ground. Apparently your sister also disappeared not long after her and in the same area too."
"But isn't this still the Mafia's matter? There shouldn't anything important to involve us in the first place," Asked Alfonso.
"There is, look at this information," Said Suzume as she used her glove and pushed the screen aside. "This information of human-trafficking contains a lot of missing people that are include in CODIS, FBI and INTERPOOL's database. Lots of high-officials in police force around the world had been searching for these information and victims. Most of them met with death ends or being hold by the high-ups just like you two," She said pointed to the two officers. "From what I had read, the victims usually will be trick with jobs at overseas with big salary due to their financial problems or being fired or jobless suddenly. Then they will been shipped out of the country and being sold in the black market; usually women will be force into illegal prostitution. Some of them were raped before disappeared and giving birth to the babies that later on, will be sold in black market. Some of them using pictures and videos of women being raped as their products and blackmails. It won't be surprise if they're being upload on the net."
"…That's right. Even from the FBI database, if one site was down 10 will be upload on the internet every day (3)," Said Alfonso after a pause.
"And the victims are the missing people in the list…" Said Mariska as she held her chin. "Besides, in the black market infants can be sold up to USD 10,000 – 15,000 per baby!"
"That's why I want you officers to do the front work," Said Suzume as she sat on the nearest desk. "Even though the Aerial Hotel is under the territory of the Bonfilio Family, we can't risk the fact that Don Trevor's daughter is among the victims stored at the said hotel. Besides, we also can let you have the glories of being the 'superheroes' saving the victims instead, but with several conditions."
"What the…? There are conditions as well? I thought that you just want our cooperation in this case!" Said Mariska, disbelieved.
"There is a problem in my part, actually," Said Suzume with seriousness in her tone. "Actually, the hidden staffs (4) are quite morons for storing the accounts of the smuggling list of the victims as well as the current information of the victims at the hotel. Even big names in the world's politic were included in the list, but what I didn't expect is that the hotel is being back-up by a certain Mafia group which unfortunately, very familiar to us. I don't want these people realize what we're trying to do, that's why I want you two going there as official case instead of us the underworld people."
"Means that we're just your decoy to get what you want…" Said Mariska, a bit hurt with Suzume's statement which not gone unnoticed by Reborn. "So, what should we do under your instruction?"
Suzume raised a folder up and showed it to everyone in the base, "First of all, we need to get rid of Vasque before 8.00 p.m tonight." Both officers looked at each other before they stared at Suzume with disbelieve. "This folder contains all the information regarding his 'dark' activities so if he tried to stop your work, shove this file to Mr. Nikolay Tregubova."
"Mr. Tregubova…how do you know that he's our top superior!?" Shrieked both officers, causing everyone sweat dropped.
"Well…he's one of the few people with very clean reputation and he's neutral. Besides, he is one of the respected person in police force so Vasque surely won't be able to escape this time. Don't worry about it Mariska, I'll bite him to death for sure." Suzume's words caused Mariska and the others sweat dropped but nodded their heads in agreement. Suzume really done something unexpected and always out of the boxes, so they decided they just follow the flow.
Hibari looked up as he heard those words. It was his famous quotes; usually said if he really want to 'bite anyone to death' for crowding or annoying him (or any reasons that sometimes not even reach the logical mind!), however hearing it from his cousin seemed to remind him of a past he had with Suzume during his childhood. Besides, he admitted that it was so long since he heard her muttered those words.
"Also, we need to finish this mission at least tomorrow morning," Everyone looked shock and started to protest. "Calm down, I'm not done yet. There are reasons why we need to do everything fast and at least, before tomorrow morning," Said Suzume as she raised her hands. "From what I had gather along with Bianchi-san, tonight there will a 'Masquerade Party' where an auction called 'The Maiden Auction' will take place. However due to some reasons the auction is cancelled but the party still going on. And from the Vegar himself, apparently the business Caesar Lobos will attend the party as well!"
"WHAT!?"
"We need to grab this opportunity," Said Suzume in seriousness. "Not only to save the victims as well as your family, we need to get rid of this illegal business and avoided danger as well. The hotel is back-up with a certain Mafia and is dangerous to let them know that another Mafia is backing the authorities. You have to tell your officer and form an operation AFTER we kick out Vasque!"
Suzume handed the folder to Mariska as the brown hair woman took it slowly.
"Now, for tonight operation. At 9.00 p.m, the one who will go for the mission will be Hibari Kyouya," Everyone looked at the said Cloud Guardian who said nothing but with calm expression. "Yesterday I had made a reservation under the name of 'Yoshitaka Walder', a very workaholic CEO from New York city. I'll tell the rest to you Kyouya," Hibari nodded his head silently. She then proceed to inform everyone the tasks that they had to do, since she had set a time limit which it should be done within 24 hours at 9.00 p.m.
"What…what kind of conditions you want to give to us?" Asked Mariska after the heat discussion almost over. Suzume turned around and grabbed her hands, shocking Mariska and everyone in the base.
"Don't tell anyone who provide the information and who help you assisting the case."
"Eh…?"
"We will assist the operation behind the shadow, but NEVER say anything about us. Take everything the glories and whatsoever, I don't care. Second, when you save the victims, erased some names that available in the list. Third, if there anyone who you found had this crest," She showed the crest she took from Avan before to Mariska. "Tell me or anyone that you see here, understand?" She nodded her head as Suzume smiled. "The last one…"
"Please forget that you have ever meet ME after everything is over."
-Autumn, Afternoon of October 03, Main Road, Rome City, Italy; Day 12 of Tsuna's disappearing-
"I'm surprise that you've accept her conditions without any hesitation."
"Huh?" Asked Mariska as he looked at Waldo who was looking at her with his calm eyes. Reborn and Kikyou who tagged along stared at the pair, while Alfonso remained silent. They were on the way to Mariska's workplace in order to 'overthrow' the corrupted officer Antonio Vasque and to prepare for their 'midnight operation'.
"Suzume-san, I mean," He said. "Did both of you meet her before? You easily recognize her when we're at the base before."
Mariska sighed as she leaned against the seat tiredly. "Yeah, we did…but it was a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet her under such condition after our last meeting four years ago."
"Did something happen?" Asked Kikyou, interesting. He saw Mariska and Alfonso's grim expression as dark shadow covered their eyes before Mariska continued.
"Yes…despite the way we met and left were quite…terrible, I really didn't expect that she still had this stubbornness as well as that scary but amazing plans. Both me and Alfonso met her when we were chosen as investigators for a case which she was involved into," Said Mariska. "We met throughout the way while investigating her and other officers."
"Wai-what? What do you mean by 'investigating her'? Did she do something bad?" Asked Waldo, shock.
"You mean, you people don't know?" Asked Alfonso, shocked. "It's a very scandalous and infamous case had ever happened in the world's history. Not only many high-profile people got arrested because of the case, it also tainted the reputation of two nations as the results."
"She was framed upon the crimes she and the other officers didn't do," Explained Mariska. Reborn slowly widened his eyes as he heard the words 'framed'.
Do the words rang anything to him? Where did he hear it…?
"What case that connect you two and Suzume?" Asked Reborn.
Mariska looked at the hitman before her, before she sighed, "Just please don't tell Suzume that I told you people this. She'll kill me."
"Try me," Said Reborn with a smirk.
"It was…the "Tokyo Bay Case"…" Said Mariska, slowly. "The world's most scandalous and controversial case that happened 4 years ago at the cost of Suzume's life."
End of Chapter 15
Hints or Explanations:
(1)Suzu – A Japanese name for girl, means "bell" (鈴) while Suzume means "sparrow" (雀). According to Arashi, the name "Suzu" is especially made for Suzume's short name and nobody was allowed to use it, including her late twin sister Suzuran. The reason was unknown. It was probably due to Suzuran's meaning of "Lily of the Valley" as well as 'Ran', which means "orchid" (蘭).
(2) Italian DIA – Italian DIA or known as Direnzione Investigativa Antimafia is an organization that against organized crime. This organization also fights against the mafia and its illegal activities such as prostitution, human-trafficking etc. It can be said as one of mafia's enemies since many mafias are dealing with illegal activities that brought income to them.
Mariska Tunnie and her partner Alfonso de Festivos are the member of Italian DIA.
(3) "if one site was down 10 will be upload on the internet every day" –If anyone has ever watch Law & Order: SVU series, this statement had been mention by Olivier Benson, when she met with one FBI agent regarding a child named 'Lacy Unknown' that related with children porn site.
(4) Hidden staffs –Suzume means the staffs that involved with the illegal activities, especially the one that trusted to keep the information safe.
This chapter really got tolls on me; not because I had hard time to arrange the plot, but there was something more horrible happened to me last March. Perhaps I already mentioned before that I just got a job last year, but before turning for 6th months of work, I was accused of possessing pornography videos in the office's PC, which is a very heavy accusation done by some school committees. While I do know that this kind of situation is not that strange (this is job and workplace matters that not strange to happen, believe me), it really took a toll on me since it happened too fast that I ended up heavily ill. But I guess the power of anger really did a good job on me to fight against those idiots who can't even distinguish between documentary videos and porn videos! How come historical videos can turn up to be porn videos!? That time, I was about to enter manga contest but had to withdraw last minutes due to those morons!
Am I mad? MORE THAN EVER! They framed me for something that surely kids 8-9 years old knew which one is nudity or in clothes, created false rumours that destroyed my reputation and dignity in workplace AND humiliate my family's honour! Worst, one of them is what we called as 'religious man' yet acting like brainless fools! I found out the truth that actually they were jealous with my father's reputations for being able to raise fund more than 10,000 and they can't. Since I'm his daughter as well as the office administrator, they wanted to destroy my father's reputation by framing me with such accusations!
People said that to forgive someone is easier than forgetting what he/she had done to us. Yeah, until now I still mad with them and to forget it, no way. I found myself unable to forgive them as well, and right now, I don't even want to speak or even see their faces! I feel disgusting, hate and angry whenever I saw them. Unfortunately I had to deal with one person, but he and the group finally learnt their lesson in hard way; during a special meeting to solve the problem, I finally went berserk and raising my voice, ignoring the fact they're older than me! Who cares, they're the ones who tried to kill themselves and I had to say, I reeeaaaalllyyy wanted to tear apart their tongue away so they become mute!
Sorry for the rambling, but the incident really taught me about real life and real people in the hard way (I got scold by my parents before that as well, urgh!). Thank you for those who read this story, I really appreciate it.
–Aoi Kitsukawa.
