CHAPTER FOUR
Previously in our story:
….upon passing a large window her gaze landed on the lawns outside, she stopped in her tracks as her attention landed on a small baby-like figure wearing a suit and hat and it was talking to her new found enemy Kyoya Hibari,
"that can't seriously be a baby, since when do they wear suit and tie….wait is that a gun?"
Safuren asked herself, unable to comprehend what she was seeing,
"hey Safuren are you alright? What are you staring at?"
Safuren turned when hearing Hana's voice and saw her and Kyoka a good distance away,
"hurry, the bell is about to ring,"
Safuren turned back towards the window and frowned, no one was there, moving from the window she walked over to them.
"What had you seen at the window?"Kyoka asked,
Safuren really didn't like nosy people but decided to let this one pass
"it's nothing, I thought I saw something, must be my imagination, lets go I'm getting hungry."
She followed behind them not uttering another word as she remembered what she saw
*I have to find out if what I saw is real cause I know I don't hallucinate and there is only one person that can help me on that Hibari Kyoya*
with that she continued on her way to class scheming on a way to beat Hibari and finding out about the mysterious baby in a suit.
************************************************** *********************
"School was so boring today Safuren, Haru thought she would die of boredom,"
the two girls were walking home from school after what seemed to be a long, draw-out day and they were both tired, Haru relating the days' events at her school, Safuren's mind however, was at an entirely different place. It's been two weeks since she enrolled at Namimori High, welfare menace popped in unexpectedly Wednesday morning right after first period, making a big scene about her not answering her phone
(not her fault when the dam phone refuses to charge and blanks out when its time to take a call -.)
and then afterwards stupid Hibari showed up after she left saying again that she was the cause of another disruption in his school making her want to smack him silly but instead just walked away without a word. She still wanted to inquire about that baby in the suit but the timing was always wrong; she had hoped that after the display in the window that she would still see just a glimpse of the mysterious infant but alas no sign of him (or her) if only she could find someone other than Hibari who might know about the child but who?
"Hey Safu-chan are you okay?"
the sound of Haru's voice snapped her out of her trance
"oh sorry Haru I zoned out there for a bit. Yeah I'm fine just thinking about school today. Haru I want to ask you a question and don't think I'm crazy but is it possible for babies to wear suits and carry guns?"
Safuren's question made Haru stop walking,
"you've seen Reborn-san already?"
she asked sounding a bit shocked, Safuren raised an eyebrow at Haru's questionis that the name of that baby? Wait a minute, she knows him?*
"Haru do you know who that baby is?"
Haru smiled and nodded her head
"yeah Haru does and he's not just a baby Safu-chan, Reborn-sama is the world greatest mafia trainer, he's training Tsuna-kun to be the next Vongola 10th, isn't that cool?"
*mafia…..trainer…..Vongola? What the hell?*
Safuren had a blank expression on her face but tons of questions flowing through her mind
*is this even possible? She's telling me this like it's something normal, the mafia is supposed to be dangerous and did she just say Tsuna, that scrimpy kid that sits across from me and glances over at Kyoka ever chance he gets! That Tsuna? She has to be joking*
"Haru are you for real? I can't believe what I'm hearing, how can you tell me this so calmly? Why are you telling me this anyways?"
Haru laughed
"Safuren relax, look if you want all this to be clear Haru will take you to see Reborn-sama and he can explain everything to you."
Safuren scratched her head and pouted causing Haru to laugh more
"alright Haru, take me to see Reborn-san"
At those words Haru grabbed Safuren's hand and dragged her down the street leading her through twists and turns until they came to stop in front of a double flat brick house, Safuren gazed upon it and noted its simplicity, in her view it was peaceful and couldn't believe that a MAFIA trainer lived here.
"Ahmm- Haru are you sure he lives here? This is the last place I would suspect a MAFIA trainer to be,"
"Haru is sure, at first Haru couldn't believe either but she did, now come on and let Haru introduce you to the entire family."
Safuren's eyes opened wide in surprise
*WHAT, ENTIRE FAMILY! HOLY-*
Haru grabbed her hand again and pulled her further towards the entrance, quickly ringing the bell with her free hand. Safuren was nervous; she was having second thoughts about going through to meeting Reborn but despite her nervousness she was too dammed curious for her own good. The front door opened up and she had to stifle a gasp, standing in the arms of a woman was none other than Reborn eating spaghetti
*this is Reborn-san? He-he he's not at all as I expected, why he looks like any ordinary baby, well apart from the fancy outfit*
"Hello Haru-chan, what brings you here today? Tsuna is not home as yet,"
"good afternoon Nana-san, Haru knows Tsuna-kun is not here, actually Haru came to speak to Reborn-sama and Haru brought a friend, this is Safuren."
Haru said pointing to Safuren
"hello dear, nice to meet you"
"good afternoon ma'am, pleasure to meet you too" Nana smiled
"aren't you a pleasant young woman, come inside girls and let me get you both a bowl of spaghetti,"
Nana turned, heading into the house- the girls followed, closing the door behind them. Safuren took the time to observe the house, it was quiet, simple yet elegant, she still couldn't believe that someone from the MAFIA lived such a simple life
"well, I try to stay hidden, sometimes it's not wise to draw too much attention to ones self, don't you agree?"
Safuren stopped in her tracks and stared at Reborn who so happened to talk to her and answered her question?
"How is it that you knew what I was thinking?"
"It's a gift, I can read minds."
She shook her head in disbelief
"come sit, I understand you have a few questions for me?" she nodded
"actually, it more of a curiosity to meet you, but I guess its okay to ask a few questions."
Nana entered and placed a tray on the table with the bowls of spaghetti, also two glasses of ice tea, the girls thanked her before she retreated back to the kitchen area.
"Tell me Safuren, what brought about your curiosity in wanting to meet me?"
Reborn asked her
"It all started a week ago when I was walking past a window and I spotted you talking to that annoying Hibari, that's when I became curious. With each passing day my curiosity grew, sometimes I hoped I would see you around school…."
She stopped and laughed, Haru looked at her
"I was even planning on forcing the information out of Hibari," Reborn smiled
"and how were you planning on forcing it out of him?"
"By fighting him of course, I owe him an ass whooping anyways so, that seemed like a good way to pick a fight, however, I sort of promised my welfare officer I wouldn't get into any fights."
The room was filled with silence
"welfare officer huh?"
Safuren lowered her bowl of spaghetti
"So you're an orphan Safuren am I right?"
Safuren's eyes filled with sadness
"Yeah I am" he nodded his head
"no living family members?"
"I have living relatives but it seems that I'm not welcomed around them and they dumped me in the nearest orphanage they could find and never looked back."
Safuren's eyes hardened as she spoke about her family, Reborn continued to observe her
"what was it like for you growing up without your parents?"
"It wasn't easy, I had it bad, especially knowing that my family disowned me a week after their death, the emotional trauma alone was difficult to handle but I learned to use those emotions to become stronger and look ahead and not back, I still think about my parents but I try not to dwell on my memories of them too much."
He continued to watch her and drank the remaining of his tea
"You are very interesting Safuren and I would like to continue this conversation but I have an appointment to uphold,"
"that's understandable, it's getting late and me and Haru should be getting home anyways. Thank you Reborn-san for allowing me to meet you."
She said bowing in respect
"It was nice meeting you as well, no worries you'll be seeing me again soon, good evening girls,"
with that he disappeared. Haru and Safuren helped Nana clean before bidding her farewell, they hadn't gone far when Haru stopped walking
"Haru what's wrong?"
"Safu-chan is it true what you told Reborn-sama? Are you really an orphan?"
Safuren sighed; she had really hoped that Haru wouldn't find out so soon
"y-yeah I'm an orphan, look Haru if…."
She was cut off when Haru hugged her, Safuren was surprised
"Haru?"
"Sorry Safu-chan, its just that Haru is sad you didn't have you're parents with you and you're family would do something so horrible to you, you didn't deserve to go through that."
Safuren was shocked by Haru's words, she never told anyone about her past and to have someone say such caring words made her want to cry
"Thanks Haru, that means a lot,"
Haru let go of Safuren and smiled
"you're welcome Safu-chan, Haru is glad you're her friend. You know what, let's hang out tomorrow seeing that it's Saturday, and Haru can introduce you to her other friends Kyoka and Hana."
Safuren chuckled
"I've met them already Haru, we happen to be in the same class together and I would love to hang out tomorrow, I've got no plans and its sucks when you get bored easily."
The two girls continued to talk about their plans and couldn't wait for the next day. When Safuren reached home, she felt better than she felt in a long time, as she headed for the kitchen to grab a snack her phone rang
"Hello? Oh good evening WM….oh I'm fine, I came home a few minutes ago….relax….no I wasn't out fighting….I was having a cup of tea with two of my friends and we were making plans for tomorrow…..planning on going to a cake shop then the park. What about you? ...which country…when….I see…when are you coming back…will anyone be checking up on me…..no not at all, I'm relieved that no one is replacing you….I really love it here and school is wonderful….alright then, goodnight, call me when you land…no anyways, safe flight WM and don't worry I'll be fine, bye."
Safuren clicked off the phone a huge grin across her face
*yep today was a good day*
The rest of the weekend passed without incident, Safuren and the girls had a wonderful time and Haru brought along someone extra, a girl with purple hair and she wore an eye patch, and she called herself Chrome although she was shy Chrome was pleasant and easy to talk to.
Safuren sat in class smiling at the memory of the weekend, never had she thought moving to Japan would be life changing; she attended a wonderful school, had fantastic friends and lived comfortably. She found that she could open herself more to them than anyone she ever met, the teacher called out her name to answer a question which she quickly answered and went back to her thinking, today's lesson was based on material that she had already read ahead of the class and she was thinking of plans for Saturday
*I could invite them for a sleepover, I've never had one before and I've heard and read that its fun…I'll ask them at lunch*
the day progressed slowly and at lunch Safuren headed to the roof to wait for the others. The cool breeze welcomed her the moment she opened the roof door, she couldn't help but smile; the roof was the one place to go to escape the noise of chattering adolescents and she really needed the peace and quiet. Quickly, she made her way over to one of the school tanks and climbed to the top, lying down to observe the clouds
*Haru and the others should be here in 15 minutes, until then I'll rest my eyes*
however, not even a few minutes into her nap, Safuren felt something land on her shirt, opening her eyes she say a spot of yellow and upon closer observation she realized it was a bird.
This bird was watching her with interest which she found quite strange, dismissing the thought she opened her hand and after a few seconds the bird flew into her hand, Safuren's face lit up
"aren't you adorable, where did you come from?"
the bird chirped as if answering her question causing her to giggle
"what are you doing with my bird?"
Safuren stiffened, she knew that voice anywhere….great just what she needed an encounter with annoying Hibari, she turned to face him the bird still in her hand
"He's yours? Didn't know, anyways he is absolutely adorable. I never would have guessed you to be one for pets Kyoya"
Hibari's eyes narrowed at her comment, she rolled her eyes and stroked the bird's feathers
"sorry little one but it looks like you're master wants you now, so off you go"
the bird chirped and flew from her hand to Hibari's shoulder, two of them staring at each other
"well if you'll excuse me, I have lunch to devour, goodbye."
She walked off the roof and headed back to class.
Hibari watched her walk away and smirked
*stupid herbivore*he thought,
she was the only person who had the nerve to defied him and he found it quite irritating
"you had to make yourself known, huh Hibird"
he stated to the little bird, who just chirped happily, if there was one thing Hibari knew about the bird is that he's always up to something mischievous but out of all people why did it have to be that impossible female? Hibari pinched the bridge of his nose
"Ciassou Hibari" Hibari opened his eyes and say Reborn in front of him
"having trouble with Safuren?"
he asked with glee in his voice, Hibari groaned
"no"
Reborn smiled
"I come with a proposition for you and I want you to listen carefully, for this will take effect the moment I conclude it."
Hibari listened intently to what he had to say and even though his face didn't give away any emotion, Hibari was growling inside
*just what I need, dealing with another useless sent of herbivores*
"alright Hibari, if you can complete this task, I would be grateful, but I warn you its not going to be anything pleasant, good luck."
Then he vanished leaving Hibari to process the information, causing him to smirk in irritation, his good mood now destroyed.
The bell rang indicating the end of school, Safuren packed her books and headed out the door, saying goodbye to Hana and Kyoka. She was alone that afternoon, Haru had to leave town to visit a relative who was ill.
Safuren watched as the clouds became darker with each passing moment and as she reached the school's gate rain started to drizzle. Unfortunately, she left her umbrella and coat at home so getting wet was something she had to contend with.
There was no way she'd stay in school, hoping the rain won't fall, no she would walk and hope that the rain would be gracious with her and fall until she reached home. However, the rain wasn't on her side that afternoon, not long after she left, the rain came down in abundance, she walked faster trying to seek shelter but there were no buildings around.
Frustrated and cold, Safuren decided to head through the short cut leading to her street, she wasn't comfortable with her decision but she desperately wanted to get home. What she hadn't noticed was a group of men following her.
The most unfortunate thing was that the short cut passed through a patch of forest and she was having an uneasy feeling. Hurrying down the forest path, she glanced back and spotted a figure clad in black but disappeared when she blinked
*great now I'm seeing things*
the rain continued to pour and her destination seemed to lengthen, vision blurry from the water running down her face Safuren tripped on a tree root landing on her hands and knees, hard
"dam it,"she swore aloud.
Before she could get up, chuckling surrounded her; Safuren's gaze landed on a group of roughly looking men, one of them looked familiar, her eyes narrowed when she remembered him being the same punk that harassed Haru a few weeks back.
"Well we meet again little girl"
she heard him say, she rose to her feet, ignoring the pain in her knees
"what do you want"
he looked at her, licking his lips in the process making her clench her fists in anger
"to pay you back for what you did to me not too long ago with interest,"
he clicked his fingers and the other men advanced towards her. Safuren tried to fight them off as best as she could but she was out numbered and now she found her hands and legs being pinned to the wet ground, the leader looking down at her with evil intentions in his eyes
"Let me go you bastard!"
"I will, but not until I fuck you up real good….first starting with those legs you like to kick with"
he pulled out a knife making her go pale and ran it along her legs, Safuren shivered as the metal trailed up her leg, the perpetrator laughed before cutting her leg, starting from her ankle. Safuren screamed from the pain and tried to fight out of her captor's grip
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF ME, NOW!"
tears falling from her eyes, fearing for her life for what they had planned for her. She saw him lift the knife, her blood dripping from it and moved it towards her other leg; before he could proceed, Safuren saw his expression change from evil to pain before he tumbled to the ground, unconscious.
