Aria threw another dart at the target board. It hit a bullseye. And another. And another. And more of them until she out of darts in her hand.
She went to the board to collect her darts but a knock on the door made her spun in the opposite direction.
She opened the door only to reveal the Decimo and his guardian, with an exception of Cloud Guardian. She smirked lightly, almost unnoticeable at the absence of his.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi." She called him his full name. "What brings you here?"
"Please. Call me Tsuna." Tsuna flashed a warm smile. "Can we come in?"
Aria made space for her guests to enter. She had a good look at each and one of them. When Chrome entered last, she closed the door behind her and faced them. "Let's talk business, then."
Aria of the Varia.
The name was embedded into his mind long ago. When they first met, she didn't do much. More like, she hardly do anything aside from scattering herself from his sight. He knew there was something about her. Her aura spoke for her. And his guess proved to be good when Aria showed up , telling the tale of the Crib's Affair.
Hibari didn't especially hate Aria. He also didn't actually would say he like her. It was just she was strong. It was uncommon that someone would win against him in a clash, what else to push him backwards.
But the lady did both in one go.
As much as he felt his pride was hurt, he couldn't shake the excitement inside him. "I'll make you remember my name, you stupid herbivor."
Achooo!
Aria rubbed her nose. Gokudera gave her a mocking smile. "And here I thought only idiots catch a flu."
"I thought you'd at least a dependable man. Guess I'm wrong."
"What did you say?!"
"Gokudera-kun." Tsuna easily broke the tense. Gokudera obediently followed the silent command that came with his name. "Aria-san. Who do you think the spy is?"
Flashback
"Spy? In Vongola?" Tsuna asked for comfirmation. Spy usually meant bad news and bad news usually meant a war is about to happen.
To which, he really would like to avoid at any cost.
"Lussuria and Bel were supposed to seal the deal with Maltese family but when they got there, someone already beat them to punch. The whole family was slaughtered, with no one at expenses to spare."
Tsuna's face now became horrid. Maltese family was one of the top in the Mafia world. Tsuna wanted to ally with as many family as he could to prevent any future unnecessary trouble.
However, clearly someone wanted the opposite of him.
The massacre of Maltese family was not the first. They were the third after both Fiamma and Bonano family.
"What makes you think there's a spy in Vongola?" Yamamoto asked in serious tone. It would be bad for Vongola to be the receiving end of anyone's wrath.
"We found this at the site." Squalo played the next slide. A card with Vongola emblem was lying next to Maltese's boss.
"Clearly, someone tried to pin this on us."
"Give me a break. Anyone can forge that. Who would be stupid enough to fall for that trick?" Gokudera scoffed.
The Varia sighed. "That card was Aria's signature. Even we hardly had access to it."
And everyone's face turned horrid.
End flashback
"I know what you're thinking but I didn't do that."
Tsuna nodded. "I believe you but the evidence is pointing at you. Do you know who else would have access to your...things?"
Aria shrugged. "Unless they have a death wish, I don't think so. I once beat Levi half-dead for entering my room without permission." Aria nonchalantly said, unaware of the atmosphere she just created.
"Aria-san. This is bad for you."
Aria summoned a flower from Chrome's back ear and handed it to Tsuna. "Don't worry about it too much."
"But.."
"I've told you don't worry."
"That still doesn't clear you to the extreme!"
Aria still remained poker face. "It doesn't matter to me. I can take care of myself. That's what I've been doing this whole time."
For an instant, Tsuna felt Aria's way of living might not be her own choice.
A/N: So? More review for our Aria? Huehuehue
