"Our dear daughter…"

Your parents looked at you with sadness in their eyes. Your brother stood behind them, his back turned towards you.

"Mother! Father! Brother!" You broke into a run. As you got closer to them, the surroundings cracked like glass. Shards fell, revealing the once obscure darkness.

"[Name]… Do not be led astray… Do not let it control you…"

Your parents turned around and started to walk away with your brother. You continued to run after them. You screamed for them. As everything started to fade away, your mother turned around.

"We love you. Please remember that."

You woke up, gasping. You sat up and quickly scanned your surroundings. Damn. It seems as if you were still in the Boss's room. You quickly reached for your neck and sighed in relief. The pendant was back where it should be. You stood up and faced the Boss. "About time you woke up." He gave you an annoyed look. You returned his gaze with a blank stare.

"Now that you are awake, I shall tell you the main reason why you are here. I am giving you your very first mission." You nodded. "We will be ambushing a mafia family that has been hindering our progress. You, along with a group of my men, will kill every single person in there. Understood?" You nodded again. "Good. You will be provided with weapons. Do not fail me."

Oh, how much you really did want to fail the Boss. You really didn't want to do this mission. However, the consequences will be brutal if you were to not obey his orders. The Boss told you to meet his men at the first floor and dismissed you.

You were told to act at the gates of the building, and so you did. You yelled for help and sobbed relentlessly (with the help of a few kicks and punches). It didn't take long for someone to come out. A tan man in a black suit walked out. He had blonde hair and stern eyes. His gaze softened slightly at the sight of you. Honestly, you looked pitiful with your ragged clothes and sickly body. He looked at the surroundings outside of the gates. After confirming that no one was there, he cautiously opened the entrance and allowed you in. As you two walked into the building, the questioning started.

"Who are you, and how did you get here?" You remained silent as you wiped away your tears. "Can you at least tell me your name?" You refused to reply, but after a few moments of painful silence, you mumbled your name. The man grunted in response.

"Come in," said an old voice. It seems as if the person was aware that you two were approaching his room. The man opened the door and walked in with you trailing behind.

"Ah, Iemitsu. I've been expecting you." You looked at the old man. He seemed to be in his sixties. From what you have been told, he is the ninth boss of the Vongola family. He is your main target. He looked back at you. "Hello, there. Who might you be?" He gave a warm smile. You were unfamiliar with such a kind look and ended up staring at the floor. "Haha, a shy one aren't you?"

Iemitsu walked up to him and spoke softly, so you could not hear. "Is that so?" The old boss spoke in reply and looked at you again. Oh no… Is it possible that they already know of the ambush? You felt a bit uneasy as you stood there. Just at that moment, all the windows in the building shattered. You can hear the shouts of men and the bullets that ripped the air. This is your chance. You ran up to Iemitsu and threw an uppercut. He dodged it by a close measure and gripped your arm. You launched a kick, causing him to let go of you in order to dodge it. The close combat continued, but Iemitsu had a lot more experience than you. You ended up getting punched in the chest, and you crashed into the wall on the other side of the room.

"Oh boy, look at what we have here." Your boss walked in covered in blood. The Ninth, still sitting at his desk, calmly looked at him while Iemitsu glared. "Timoteo, how are you?" Your boss gave a malevolent smile.

"You have gone too far this time… Using a child like this." The Ninth shook his head in disappointment.

"It is not a child. It is a thing. A powerful thing." Your boss gestured you to come closer to him. Realizing what he wanted to do, you inched further away from him. I don't want to feel that pain… Not again. Not again, please. "Tsk." He strode to you and forcefully pulled off the pendant.

"AAAAAAAGH!" You cried out in pain and held your head. The shocks… The shocks… It's too much… Stop… The Ninth's eyes flashed with anger. "What did you do to her?"

Your boss smirked. "You'll see…"

Fuaah. This one took me a while. I hope I didn't make Iemitsu and Timoteo too OOC.
